This is completly my humble opinion. B6 is not in the position at all right now to take a 3rd aircraft on. They have 2 that they can work with. I thought it was a necisity for them to take on the E190 in addition to the A320. The reason being are that some market load can only support smaller loads, some markets can only give out larger loads, and the remaining markets are, quite frankly like PWM, very seasonal and need mixed fleets. We all know that- no reason to elaborate. Nevertheless, here's my thoughts on B6 right now and why they need to stick to their game plan with 2 aircraft types:

1) They need to increase frequency or re-evaluate their frequencies on a lot of the current routes. (i.e. No late afternoon/evening flight JKF to MSY yet there is a morning flight and and an early afternon flight to MSY...2PM if I remember correctly).

2) Start connecting those dots more. MCO has service to 9 cities, 5 are in/very close to NYC. I know the figures are very high for the NYC-FLA routes but still, they are more fish to becaught. WN picked up the IAD-MCO service after the collapse of Indepence Air. I don't know if WN beat them to the punch or if B6 completely missed it. Either way, it was a route they should have initiated. IMHO, IAD-MCO is a better route than JFK/BOS-PIT. It seems like B6 is missing some of the obvious routes (maybe a reason they had to re-eveluate their growth stategy?).

3) New stations: As far as major cities go, I thought ORD was good, yet SFO is going to be prove to be a mistake in the near future, but will work out in th long run. There really isn't much in the way of LCC service to ORD and B6 has no other service near chicago at all. I know WN, ATA, and FL all use midway; with that in mind, ORD was the better choice. However, SFO is going to prove that its not the right time. B6 already serve SJC, OAK, and SMF already. If I was calling shot at B6, I would have put my resources in expanding those cities before picking up SFO. Understandably, they are trying to prevent costumer losage to Virgin America but still, the last I checked VA weren't close to flying yet. IMHO, B6 should consentrating on building up focus cities at FLL, MCO, IAD and OAK and expanding their Carribean routes from JFK, BOS and MCO. BTW, what about STL? It would make a great east/west focus city.
