Our initial idea was convince JetBlue to designate one of the Embraer 190's that they would be receiving for an ORH to Kennedy. Since Kennedy was their hub, you could then fly anywhere around the country. We did think this was that far-fetched since they were already doing this in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Burlington, Vt. As a result, we had Dave Ulmer, the JetBlue flight planner visit ORH to tour our facilites and see the "JetBlue" road.
We were not that far off. Although we were told Logan would never be interested in a shuttle of this nature, they in fact will take one of the very first Embraer 190's that have been delivered for this exact purpose. Considering JetBlue will be taking on 100 of their Embraers, we should still look into this option.
Additionally, JetBlue announced new service with the Embraer 190 to Austin, Tx., and Richmond, Va., and increased service to upstate Buffalo and Burlington, Vt.
