When is JSX Getting Wi-Fi?
I like JSX and happy to pay a 2-3x premium, but need connectivity when I fly. Any updates on when they'll put Wi-Fi on their planes?

On the revenue side, a lot of their flights are quite short, which might mean somewhat limited demand for WiFi.
I'm not saying they won't do it, but I could easily see how it wouldn't be worth the investment.

I've decided to move much of the Intra-CA flying I was doing with them to AS. For less money I can get the E175 solo F seats, and with Pre-Check and Clear I show up to the airport 45 mins before scheduled departure. Might still use JSX here and there for BUR weekend/night flying and when it's under $200. Current product is worth 2x WN, but if costs are the same, I'd choose AS F.

I'm sure there are a bunch of Legacies out there with Wi-Fi, so I doubt certification is the issue. The question for Big Stripe is whether they think the connectivity is worth the cost on their short routes.

JSX was planning to roll out inflight Wi-Fi across its fleet in 2021, but that’s being pushed back to the end of 2022, reportedly due to supplier issues. Fortunately, JSX flights are traditionally pretty short to begin with, so this shouldn’t make a major experience difference for flyers.

Looks like they're going to rollout Starlink, but probably won't be across the fleet until well into 2023.
