The feb 2025 issue of airways, which will be on news stands soon, has a nice article about jet blue's first day of operation; Jetblue mentioned in their earnings call that they are on track to launch domestic first class in 2026, with 25% of the non mint fleet expected to be retrofitted by next year.

How can any company be “trending in the right direction” when it’s currently consistently losing more.

Jetblue should have had alaska executives at the helm when delta first hubbed bos. Jetblue isn’t trying to “beat delta” at transatlantic, they are building it up slowly based on their scale and relative capabilities to cater to their customers whom are mostly leisure.

There was a forum discussion about this. Being that the jetblue ended their interline agreement with el al last october, this seems like a fairly logical move to make.
