I fly the BWI shuttle for the next month or so. The several times I've flown the route we have been above 90 customers. Now that's just the load. I suspect that revenue may not be that great with 3 carriers fighting for the route.

Looks like JetBlue responding to Air Tran's Double Credit offer on the same route

Airtran and Southwest are giving double credit on this route. Southwest is also giving double credit from MHT and PVD to BWI.
Even with triple points True Blue is still a joke.
Lets do the math, at $39 one way fare x 9 points, wow I get 360 points and need at leat 5000 for a short free flight. yippeee!
On WN and FL I get 2 points for $39 and need 14 more for free flight to anywhere they fly.
Hmmm, dont need to be a math major. Im going Southwest or Airtran.
Bye Bye Jetblue!

Why? Southwest has had an incident with fatalities more recently than AirTran or ValuJet.

The only WN crash with a fatality I can find is the 2005 MDW crash. Even that, it was only 1 fatality and it wasn't even inside the plane. Has there been something more recent I'm missing?

Still more recent than the FL crash in the Everglades. The implication that flying FL is unsafe because they had a crash under a different operating structure a really long time ago is silly.

However, some airlines do have a better track record than others. It just so happens FL has a better one than ValueJet who got consumed by FL, ironically.

Actually didn't ValueJet buy AirTran but keep the AirTran name because of the bad reputation and memories that came with the ValueJet?

You are right. I went back and checked. It does look to be that way. The upside is that they have done so much better with their safety track record since changing their name.
