Not enough capacity already? Anyway, best of luck, to them, with the route! Hopefully they will be profitable to make them mainline service soon!

The CRJ700's are competing against an array of Delta flights, up to and including a B757.

This used to be a mainline route for some time. As for Delta flights, they seem to switch the New York routes back and forth from mainline to regional. For instance what used to be NW736 A320 0700 service to JFK is now Comair 6XXX CRJ900 service.

This was announced months ago, and it is a return of the service previously operated on MD80's.

However as you posted it was just launched though.
