This is the future. From the last investor day Dec 2016:

David Puddy

If JB orders the CSeries and A321 LRs, Robin will finally have the flexibility he needs to grow the business profitably. The CSeries could be used anywhere (short, longer or thinner routes requiring low CASMs to compete) and the LRs can provide connections to Western Europe out of JFK/BOS and the northern half of South America out of FLL. The fleet needs to be flexible, ergonomic (for business travelers) and offer low operating costs. Although I like riding on the E190s, they are not flexible from a route perspective and not cost effective.

If JB can't grow through mergers with fewer good candidates left, JB has to grow organically through route expansion, more foreign airline marketing alliances and increased operating margins (lower CASM). Fleet flexibility will be a key component going forward and Robin knows it.

To be fair, those pictures list the Top 50 Domestic/International destinations from either Boston or Lauderdale... not where Jetblue intends to fly.

Is it a good guide for future decisions the company will make? Probably. But nowhere does it say "here is where we're gonna fly."

We don't need the LR...flights to Europe and South America will take place on Norwegian and already on TAP...#CBA

So how exactly does the revenue get split?

Flyby1206

Agreed, but BOS and FLL are the two cities with the focus for growth and these are the biggest markets we don't fly to from those hubs, so read between the lines to see where we will go.

FWIW, the latest new blue city was MSP, which was from the slides posted. I don't think you will see a new BOS or FLL destination that isn't on the list (in the short term 1-2yrs).

I’m gonna get shouted down, but XNA (Northwest Arkansas) is a major market we should look at.

United out of EWR always full, European vendors going to visit Walmart HQ. Pricey ticket. Crap service currently.

Just a pilot, what do I know.

hyperboy

and let me guess where you commute from?.........XNA? LOL

I have to agree. My wife goes to Xna occasionally to visit Walmart and her company pays well over $1000 for the tickets.

OK we should go. Only if it is a redeye turn though.
