No Kudos from me.
My problem is with the way JBLU chose to "study" the issue.
This should be done in a SIMULATOR, not on a revenue flight with passengers on board.
Study this issue with trans-cons, but also include an 8 leg day of out and backs from a major airline hub.
Study the issue, fine. But NOT with REVENUE PASSENGERS! Remember a change to the FAR's applies to ALL airlines, regardless of the stage length they fly.
