timsMom flies JetBlue r/t PIT-BOS every month. And every time she books one of those $78 r/t, it seems she ends up being delayed for an hour or more and gets a $50 future flight credit. This is profitable?

For her, the only problem with flying JetBlue is that there's only one mid-day flight available. Maybe there are more flights through JFK but with the confiscatory segment taxes and PFC, who doesn't want to fly direct? Otherwise, she loves JetBlue, especially when the alternative is US.
