EYW Key West
I noticed in the cities served chart EYW shown, got excited thought maybe B6 started service been when I plug in a request for fare from EYW-CLE I see Silver Airways operates the EYW portion. After my last terrible experience with them no thanks I would rather drive to Key West from FLL.
This would be a good route for B6 but the short runway is probably an issue even for the regional jet. Delta does still fly a 737 to EYW.

WN did not pull out of EYW due to low demand. They use a different model than AirTran and don't operate stations which a very small number of flights. B6 may serve it at some point but there are more lucrative markets to tackle given the limited number of new planes they will be delivered in the near term.
