Isn't it also the case that JetBlue tried to be better but the stock analysts forced them to also race to the bottom?

I was delayed 12 hours from Orlando on
@AmericanAir in June with a scenario very much like this: not enough crew. -

What looks to the beancounters like fat to be cut, looks like a resiliency buffer to operations types. There’s a tension there, but if things move too far in one direction, bad things happen.

They do this because passengers select their flights primarily based on price. And running non-bare-bones operations makes your flights more expensive than the other guys.

Or, radical idea: they could run non-bare-bones operations, not raise fares, make a TINY bit less short term profit, but make life better for their passengers. And maybe in the process create customer loyalty that would increase profits long term.

When this was happening all the time at American, it was because labor was unhappy, and they were delaying flights on purpose, within the rules.

Same with my last United flight, which is my last United flight. 4 hour delay for a less than 2 hour flight while all the other airlines to same destination took off on time. They used to be just great.
