On a side note, is it just me or has B6 had a lot of new routes recently that have struggled? (ex. BUR to MCO/LAS is defunked, EWR/SJU is shutting down, JFK to PIT, RIC, PWM amoungst others rumored to struggle)
I could be wrong, but wasn't the idea behind the EWR/SJU flight to utilize a plane at night? I don't think that was a big loss to the system. And, yes, some cities are struggling, but some of the new cities are also doing well (CLT, RDU, JAX, AUS, BDA). However, I think that Jetblue may have a problem with their Columbus flights if they go in with little to no marketing in a smaller market, like RIC.
