How Are Loads on B6 LGB-JFK?
I've noticed the last 3 flights to/from LGB on AA that they've been the lightest since I started flying the route 15 months ago. Is Jet Blue seeing the same thing?

So what's the consensus -- is the competition affecting JBLU, or are its customers remaining loyal?

Yeah, I'm curious about this too -- mostly from an investment perspective. This is now an array of cheap leisure and business fares from JFK to LAX on the airline of your choice. With 7 days, you can fly this month for $99 each way. These advance purchase fares tend to be cheaper than what JBLU is offering to LGB. On a walkup basis, JBLU seems to have a lot more $150 fares available than they used to.

That said, if their competitors offer to me a convincing cost savings (and that is all relative), then I will move off JetBlue and fly the other airline for that flight.
