JetBlue pilots lose more domestic flying.

[Lake Alice]

NEW YORK — JetBlue Airways Corp. and Hawaiian Airlines have formed a partnership that will allow passengers to fly on both carriers’ flights on a single ticket.

The deal, which is expected to be formally announced later Monday, follows Hawaiian Airlines’ announcement of plans to add New York service direct from its home base in Honolulu starting in June. Customers on both airlines will be able to connect with those flights through JetBlue’s base at New York’s JFK.

JetBlue Airways Corp. and Hawaiian Airlines have formed a partnership Monday, Jan. 23, 2012, that will allow passengers to fly on both carriers’ flights on a single ticket.
In the meantime, passengers can connect through Los Angeles International Airport to Hawaiian Airlines one-stop service from Hawaii to New York.

Besides added flight options, travelers will also be able to earn or redeem frequent flier miles on each other’s flights, starting with the New York service in June.

Partnerships like this allow airlines to expand their service without spending more money to add flights on their own. Hawaiian Airlines already has similar partnerships, called codeshares, with major U.S. airlines including United-Continental, Delta and American. JetBlue has deals with a number of international carriers, including Ireland’s Aer Lingus, Virgin Atlantic Airways and Emirates.

No, we aren't losing this flying. We are gaining insight to a market for when we order wide body A/C. That way we'll already know what the loads should be. We're going to be huge! God, who wants to sit on a plane that long anyways...




This is a sarcastic post for those who fail to realize...

So, you are saying that with a union, JB would not have had this agreement?

Do you maybe, see, any wholes in your argument? I left you a hint...

I do agree that this sucks that we are not doing it ourselves...

I wasn't aware B6 served Hawaii. How did I miss their jets on the ramps at HNL, OGG, LIH, and KOA?

Umm...I'm gonna guess you were either: on Flightinfo/APC, taking pictures of yourself by the airplane to show your friend, calling your mom to tell her how you bested the First Officer by hand-flying the entire flight...Umm...

Isn't that a like saying Hawaiian lost all that east coast flying? We can't realistically do the feed you do and you can't realistically fly to Hawaii. Seems like a win for both airlines. A JetBlue flight connecting to a Hawaiian flight will be the best service to Hawaii available. You guys have some of the best domestic service out there, we have a superior product in the Hawaii market. And yes, it is a good way for you to test the long haul market. We did it with Korean before we started our own flights to Korea. ALPA would not have stood in the way of an agreement like this.

I'll try to respond without the chest-beating I'm sometimes guilty of. In a nutshell, you're correct Dan. It likely is a win for both companies and I'm looking forward to being able to ZED my son out to Hawaii on you guys.

The heartburn for us is that as a pilot group we have precisely ZERO input or limiting factors for this type of flying. I believe we are up to 13 of these agreements now, with more on the way. Most are with longhaul carriers such as Singapore, Lufthansa, Aer Lingus, etc. I'm well aware that my A320 isn't going to HI or Europe anytime soon, but I'd like to think that in a few years I could take an A330 or A350 (or DC-10, if I'm dreaming) with a JB tail number. But as long as JB can put our customers on everyone elses's jets, we don't exactly need to expand into that type of flying.

Don't worry everybody.

Jetblue will start looking at those 330's again just as soon as the next union campaign ramps up.

Hell.
