Actually, I have never quite figured out why JetBlue and WestJet (Canada) never had some sort of link up, especially considering that David Needleman pretty much started WestJet before going on to start JetBlue. It looks to me like their passenger bases are similar. I'm thinking, at least as a start, that Westjet and JetBlue could start to codeshare routes connecting hubs in Canada and the US, say Long Beach - Calgary, Long Beach to Vancouver, and JFK to Toronto. Then connect on Westjet to the final destination in Canada or on Jetblue if the final destination is in US. It alwasy seemed that it would be common sense, at least to me, but I know, these things are probably more complicated than they seem.
