The question, then, becomes whether AA will charge more than NK to bus people on their final leg from PHL to ACY as opposed to flying them all the way as does NK. It will be interesting to see how people perceive the value of this service. Is there currently a bus that runs from PHL to ACY, in addi...

Jump to postI think B6 fans tend to way overvalue the JetBlue brand. It doesn't mean much outside of NYC and Boston.
