Wouldnt be surprised if everybody started flying this route to get a little piece of the American pie.

3 measly flights a day in a damn 190.

I hope Barger's vagina doesn't hurt too much.

Whats wrong with the E190????

I think this is a smart start for the DFW service.

BOS-DFW is only served by AA 8x daily (6 757s, 2 737s). Since JB is going after business traffic they too will need frequency, but cant just dump a bunch of busses on the route or else they will destroy the fares for the market (and spirit is already covering the bottom end of BOS-DFW fare structure). As AA pulls down frequency/size of aircraft on the route, JB can increase frequency/size of their service. I can see eventually 5-6 daily A320s on this route in a few years.

JFK-DFW is only served 1 daily 737 from AA and a CRJ900 from DAL, but it has HUGE service from LGA, which is the business hub for NYC. It wouldnt make as much sense to add JFK right now, maybe down the road when they have more of a foundation in the market.

E190-A320. Market share is market share. Both airframes require 2 pilots. All flown by B6 pilots so who cares what plane it's done in.

We went into Atlanta weak, and were summarily kicked out by intense competition.

I would have thought it smart to go into such a fortress hub with many flights and many destinations...but there is likely more to the story than I understand.

Atlanta is a mess. Delta and SWA have that place locked up. With LGA slots and AA looking at capacity cuts look for JBlue to continue taking pieces of the pie.

It wasn't so much DAL but AirTran as well using A320s operated by Ryan that drove JB out of ATL.

I agree.
