Quoting Richierich (Reply 119): And isn't BNA one of the cities they are closing? |
Quoting Richierich (Reply 119): Those cities you mentioned are north-south routes. |
Quoting SkyyMaster (Reply 123): Plus, B6 never has done much in the way of advertising their presence here. IMO, I think they thought they could build a following based on word-of-mouth. |
Quote: SkyyMaster (Reply 111): Given the only common route B6 and SX flew from CMH was "Boston", I really doubt the 'Bus had anything to do with B6 departure. |
Quoting JetBluefan1 (Reply 9): This is definitely not surprising, though I was expecting to see PIT go before CMH. |
Quoting Miller22 (Reply 5):
There are tons of other passenger and yield numbers available here: http://paxdata.airlineempires.net |
Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 15): The whole "be careful what you wish for" routine. |
Quoting JetBluefan1 (Reply 9): BNA was a dog from the start |
Quoting Lexy (Reply 19): I just think B6 bolting out of here is a mistake for them IN THE LONG RUN. Specifically cause they did nothing to stimulate the market here and that hurts in a market that is a focus city for a major LCC. They shot themselves in the foot IMO. |
Quoting Miller22 (Reply 5): No surprise at all. CMH had some of the lowest yields at $.23 with only 398 daily passengers bound for JFK, and 312 bound for BOS. BNA is also no suprise with yields at $.18 and 339 destined for JFK daily, and $.24 yields with only 159 destined for BOS. |
Quoting ScottB (Reply 13): Well, I can see PIT being kept on for a bit longer to see how things shake out with US Airways scaling back its PIT presence even further and reducing capacity to both BOS and LGA. |
Quoting SkyyMaster (Reply 21): Isn't that the same gate Indy Air used? |
Quoting Sxf24 (Reply 4): I think it has more to do with population concentrations and travel patterns. |
Quoting TIA (Reply 6): This has to be up there in terms of most idiotic posts. |
Quoting Ikramerica (Reply 20): And they do fly to Raleigh |
Quoting Lexy (Reply 15): Whatever. Those flights were fully booked for three or more months solid. How can you say that???? |
Quoting Drerx7 (Reply 19): JFK-HOU has long since been downgraded to a E190 from the 320 -- How is that route doing with TZ leaving the market? |
Quoting Floorrunner (Reply 12): I think part of the reason CMH did not do well was that to get any other place in the JetBlue system from CMH you had to change planes in JFK. Who really wants to do that to go to the west coast unless the price was so terrific that it outweighed everything else. |
Quoting JetBluefan1 (Reply 22): Over the summer, BNA did have some pretty nice loads, but certainly not throughout the entire year. BNA has always had a lower LF than the systemwide LF, and the yields were pretty tragic as well. This pull-out further proves it. |
Quoting Johnyv (Reply 23): This is a sad day for CMH! Now what will DL do? Keep their flights? |
Quoting SkyyMaster (Reply 16): |
Quoting Johnyv (Reply 23): This is a sad day for CMH! Now what will DL do? Keep their flights? |
Quoting Itsnotfinals (Reply 27): CMH still has AA non-stops to BOS plus direct WN flights and SX. also to LGA there is still AA, DL and CO non-stops. |
Quoting JetBluefan1 (Reply 5): I guess JetBlue doesn't want to be at airports where opportunity to expand is limited, as well as airports that have shown that they are slow to mature. I guess it makes sense. |
Quoting Itsnotfinals (Reply 27): the problem is for business travelers, JFK is just not convienent for doing business. |
Quoting HPAEAA (Reply 28): CO flies to EWR |
Quoting ThirteenRight (Reply 31): Hasnt this assumption been disproven yet? |
Quoting Steeler83 (Reply 17): US is actually increasing its daily frequencies from 6 to 8 into LGA, according to the new schedule come January... I'm not sure about BOS. |
Quoting Itsnotfinals (Reply 32): If you enjoy sitting in an extra 1 to 2 hours of extra traffic to JFK round trip (compared to LGA and EWR) in and out of Midtown then go right ahead. |
Quoting Tsnamm (Reply 34): LGA is the closest airport to Manhattan,not EWR |
Quoting Windstepper (Reply 29): Perhaps B6 just didn't do good business |
Quoting ScottB (Reply 33): Yes, but US is cutting 2 mainline round-trips to LGA and adding 4 round-trips on RJ's to get that net increase in two frequencies -- which is likely a slight decrease in capacity. BOS is losing all mainline aircraft to/from PIT, so there's a pretty significant drop in capacity since the number of frequencies stays flat. |

Quoting Itsnotfinals (Reply 32): If you enjoy sitting in an extra 1 to 2 hours of extra traffic to JFK round trip (compared to LGA and EWR) in and out of Midtown then go right ahead. |
Quoting ExFATboy (Reply 38): Airtrain to Jamaica, LIRR to Penn Station - just as fast as a cab from LGA during the day, |
Quoting ExFATboy (Reply 38): e gone from my old office in Midtown (Rockefeller Center) |
Quoting SkyyMaster (Reply 16): Isn't that the same gate Indy Air used? If so and I were a new airline looking at BNA, I'd ask to be given any gate but that one, it seems jinxed....(JUST KIDDING, no one go off on a tangent!!!). |
Quoting EMBQA (Reply 46): Shoot, they way I learned about them coming to Nashville was through friends as B6, not the local media |
Quoting SkyyMaster (Reply 47): But yes, they really did little to put themselves out in front of the public as a whole. |
Quoting MAH4546 (Reply 48): Maybe they could have done some things better, but Nashville itself was part of the problem, it wasn't just jetBlue. |
