Re: JetBlue Network - 2023

Quick question; if AMS is out of the picture in the future for B6, wouldn't RTM (Rotterdam The Hague Airport) be a great option to fly to for them? That's a 7,200 foot runway, I don't think I'd eat for a week before the flight if I was trying to get a transatlantic A321 out of there. Whoops, totall...
