I have a feeling nothing will really come out of this
Jump to postThe Justice Department has stepped up an antitrust probe of AA and B6's recent partnership according to the WSJ, due to NK's repeated protests. They are looking mainly at coordination in the Northeast BOS, NYC hubs. NK in recent weeks has been lodging complaints to the DOJ about B6 and AA aligning ...
Jump to postFlyguy B6 is looking a lot like BN after deregulation, grabbing EVERYTHING they can. They’re certainly going to have their hands full. Opening focus cities at LAX and RDU, the London expansion, the EWR expansion, “dartboard” routes like LGA-DEN where they don’t operate from a position of strength o...
Jump to postLAX - 26 Austin at 2x now (not bad), CHS/JAX/RDU all at 2x weekly, 8 flights to FLL/MIA/PBI, RIC/BDL no flight, still offering very little on the west coast routes Looking at B6's LAX schedule, it seems like they've only cut the schedule until May 5. LAS is 1x daily, SLC is 2x weekly, and SEA/SFO a...
Jump to postHow far could B6 get into Brazil with the LR or XLR from, say, MCO and/of FLL? Looks like as long as the XLR has a range of 4,000 nm, it will be able to reach anywhere in Brazil from FLL. The advertised range by Airbus will more than handle this distance. 4000nm for LR, XLR is up to 4700nm....from ...
Jump to postIn regards to B6 about to start transatlantic now slated for Aug launch. I know B6 said publicly that it will still compete with AA on transatlantic and that’s not part of the nea.

Jump to postA friend also showed me one of the routes B6 said it wants to start out of jfk is clo. So I wonder if that will still go or just have AA do it? May be better if they both can fly it and codeshare to make a more robust schedule to compete but what do I know. Sounds duplicitous by b6 management to tel...
Jump to postTo be clear, this LOA excluded B6's transatalntic ambitions. that was carved out so it doesn't affect that. They were very specific how AA/B6 will still compete on Transatlantic. This pretty much means they can't put B6's code on certain AA flights within the range of a B6 aircraft and focus city-f...

Ummm, no. No it's not.
Looking at this week's OAG thread, B6 has made a lot of LAX cuts on shorter routes, including LAX-SFO/LAS/SEA, which are all suspended in January and February (SEA only suspended in Feb). That makes me a bit skeptical at the future of B6 at LAX. If they're having low bookings (relatively speaking) ...

Jump to postI find it hard to believe how this airline is making any money with no feed, expensive used widebodies that are creeping up in maintenance, very little and sporatic network, and competing in markets that have much more breath and scope with their known brands. IE B6/DL/AA/UA in NYC. And from what i ...
Jump to postIn fairness to the poster, the other poster is an endless cheerleader of WN. Great, but annoying to read. We are in a pandemic. Economy is collapsing. WN is sending out Warn notices. Stop making it sound like Long Beach is going to be packed with Southwest tails anytime soon. The schedule will cont...
Jump to postCEO email “ Later this week we will be communicating further details of our plans to reduce planned expenses into 2021.” Anyone know what is coming? nothing shocking, and in line with the industry for the most part. In summation, mentioned it will be a continuation of cost cutting efforts from earl...
Jump to postTo keep things into perspective, jetBlue has not announced any London flights yet. All we know is that they have been awarded slots to STN and LGW. Everything else is guesswork at this point. This is not to discount your points but we simply do not have much else to go by. yes agree with you on thi...
Jump to postI'm impressed with the JB Mint configured A321. What is the range difference compared to say, a A321XLR in a similar configuration? Would the Mint configuration allow for FLL-Deep South American markets (i.e., Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Asuncion, or Santiago)? Thanks! No. The Mint 321CEO does not ha...
Jump to postI can bet my bottom dollar when .the XLR’s come onboard and have filled a nice northeast transatlantic EU network, B6 will bolster the FLL portfolio with them to do FLL-scl/eze/gru/gig etc which are all mostly dominated by AA from south Florida with little competition.
Jump to postThey already couldn’t make lgb-sjc work which is a big station for them, good luck with the rest! LBB yields are already performing more than horrible for them. And if they try to build a fis now, B6 already has the cards in play for a hearty lawsuit.
Jump to postWN has far deeper pockets to gamble and had the highest liquidity ratio among U.S. airlines going into this economic shock (Spirit was 2nd).[/quote] Actually B6 was 2nd with the best balance sheet after WN. NK has actually one of the highest encumbered balance sheet 2nd to American i believe relativ...
Jump to postFrom OAG this week looks like colombian border closure extensions into September. JFK-GEO/GUA starts are getting pushed back to next year. Same with PWM, giving up for this year. We will see if JFK-ORH actually gets operated, but B6 remains very committed to having good relationship with Massport. ...
Jump to postLGB-AUS to make life even more difficult for B6 at this airport. B6 will be cutting more and it has nothing to do with WN.[/quote] This! B6 focus and strength is currently on the east coast and at some point they will refocus on the west coast but in the near future they rather focus on cutting loo...

Jump to postSure, so that explains why WN became the largest carrier in Washington/Baltimore by a few million passengers a year. And product matters less than price, schedule, and network.[/quote] BWI not the northeast, thats midatlantic, and they had zero competition after taking over, look and see how well th...

Jump to postI'm not sure I understand why people are so happy to cheer the demise of jetBlue's LGB operation. It's the airport with probably the best passenger experience in 50 miles, and jetBlue could get you across the country or up to San Francisco from there - it was a very convenient way to travel, and I'...
Jump to postLet me see, in a time where nothing is making money and everyone is bleeding cash, B6 just got rid of more routes out of an airport notoriously known for no one ever making money,especially now and WN just came in and swooped up slots in a money pit airport where they were already bleeding money on ...
Jump to postGood morning enilria, thanks for doing the hard work again. I also find it quite surprising AF is keeping MIA-PAP around still. I'd imagine JAX-RDU will be first of many routes get chopped on a more permanent basis among the major airlines. It looks like F9 is just canceling a lot of flights perman...

Jump to postWho cares, WN will not buy B6,that ship has sailed long ago. You think with all the loss in revenue at WN with the MAX8 schedule cuts they want to shell out billions to buy another airline that has a loyal customer base and willing to alienate them? This so called pilot in the MCO bus, if this story...
Jump to postThe addition of a focus city isn't hearsay, there was actually a internal video from flight ops VP and VP of market planning a few months ago and they said after they are done with the build up of the current focus cities, specifically BOS/NYC/Florida, they have a few new focus cities they are eyein...
Jump to postB6 WILL NOT be bought by WN. Period. They will not fork up that money, and they will destroy the market B6 has built up and admired by Ny'ers and bostonites to a texas cowboy like product. they won't keep the clientele going up against DL/UA in Ny area specifically. Just look at ATL post air tran bu...
Jump to postEasy fix - buy B6. It took only one post for the typical nonsense of wn buying b6. Believe it or not they are a bad match, with very different operating platforms. And wn product would cede all the b6 loyal customers to one of the majors, making the northeast unprofitable for them. B6 is pretty cle...
Jump to postThis is the same order from the announcement about a month ago, nothing new here.
Jump to postInteresting little tidbit I'm noticing. A lot of sales from Copa on JFK-PTY-GYE in the low $300 range. That must be the effect of B6 entering JFK-GYE and lowering those round trip fares. Copa can't be doing too great on JFK-PTY having to fill its flights with this kind of fares. JFK-PTY might be a ...
Jump to postanother look at JetBlue's network next summer with the recent extension. This is just my own non-scientifc counting. All numbers subject to change. I picked what I think might be a peak day in July to count. Here are the numbers. JFK - 177 (from a Friday). This seems to be the highest numbers I've ...
Jump to postYou are right, most of the cities I listed do see 1 flight a day from legacy. My point is more that A220-300 (with it's much lower cost for B6) is a better fit for these markets than 737/a320 that legacy airline would be using. As an aside. Just taking a look at B6 departures at its top focus citie...
Jump to postI love how the 2 airlines delta has been trying to hammer in their respect hubs, AS/B6, both have reported solid earnings and revenue growth and been thriving while delta has had cost go up significantly. Albeit a good quarter for delta, but not the trending pace of AS/B6. Also those think that as w...
Jump to postI honestly seriously doubt they will pull out of LGB. I'm scratching my head by these comments. They need some sort of foothold/beachead in the west coast to be a relevant player. LGB is much smaller than their other focus cities so its not like its a huge chunk of their ASM's and dragging them down...
Jump to postMEX capacity redeployed to Northeast to Florida/Caribbean and daylight transcon. Huge disappointment here for me. No middle of America markets? No EWR adds?[/quote]
i believe EWR is "northeast" and part of that growth.

For MCO-MEX, they just don't have enough point of sale at MCO. A lot of their MCO routes are struggling due to lack of investment in the market.

Looks like JetBlue is actively trying to get more flying/gates, along with spirit at ewr. B6 was right next door to wn gates.

Jump to postI assume their theory was go all in to get all of WN's gates (3 I think) as opposed to starting slow and getting stuck with less. this doesn't seem to require 3 gates. Although it's quite possible they've taken all the "slots" that WN abandoned. Looks like B6 might have squandered their c...
Jump to postJust FYI, 25% increase in revenue doesn’t translate to success, Norwegian was increasing tatl revenues by 48% and they were always in the red.
