JetBlue Airways (“JetBlue”) hereby applies for exemptions from 49 U.S.C. 41714 (h) (4) and 14 CFR Part 93, subparts K and S (“High Density Rule” or “HDR”), to allow JetBlue to add service in up to two unique markets: 1) one daily nonstop roundtrip flight between Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (“DCA”) and San Juan, Puerto Rico’s Luiz Munoz Marin International Airport (“SJU”), the capital of Puerto Rico, with connecting service to St. Thomas (“STT”), the capital of the United States Virgin Islands; and 2) one daily nonstop round trip flight between DCA and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (“AUS”), the capital of Texas. JetBlue requests two (2) slot exemptions for new service between DCA and JetBlue’s focus city at SJU and, if the slots for SJU are granted, two (2) slot exemptions for new service between DCA and JetBlue’s growth city of AUS, both of which are capital cities located beyond the DCA perimeter pursuant the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Pub. L. No. 112- 95).1 1 In making this application JetBlue seeks consideration of its request to serve DCA-SJU/STT as its first choice. Only if that service to our focus city (SJU) is granted does JetBlue request that DOT consider its second request for service to Austin, Texas. |

Shouldn't it read "If the slots for SJU are not granted..." and "Only if that service to our focus city (SJU) is not granted..."? |

What is does this mean?
They state it again in the conclusion of their application Based upon the forgoing, JetBlue respectfully requests the Department award it two (2)slots to operate service between DCA and SJU for the reasons set forth above. If, and only if, the SJU service proposal is selected, JetBlue also requests that it be awarded two (2) slots for service between DCA and Austin, Texas, again for the reasons set forth herein. |

jetBlue will be happy just getting SJU as that is part of their core strategy to grow Caribbean markets. The other part of the strategy is to grow BOS business markets and AUS-DCA does not fit into that plan. If they got both SJU and AUS they won't refuse it but they are looking first and foremost to get DCA-SJU. AUS would be the icing on the cake but is not a top priority.

Is growing BOS business markets still the strategy? B6 reduced BOS-ORD to just 2x daily, although a day trip (BOS-ORD ORD-BOS) is still possible.
