Looks like we will have more competition for the US Airways Shuttle. JetBlue is launching a JFK-BOS Shuttle with thier new 190s. They will also start RIC and AUS service.
JetBlue to Expland Routes
JetBlue looks for space with Embraer 190
What are the plans for the Shuttle? They need to put 170s and 190s on it... it's a better cabin product than the Airbus, and a few less seats could demand a higher premium. Oh yeah, that's right we're selling those.
It was also free up a bunch of Airbuses that could be used to connect Airways East with Airways West. Instead of using long haul capable airplanes on the Shuttle, they could be starting routes like PDX SNA SLC etc from the East.
Do we even have a defined Shuttle brand currently? It's just mainline planes with free booze, right?
