It was a rather dreary Saturday here in the Southeast, so here’s hoping your weekend is warm, dry and without any flight disruptions. Speaking of air travel, TPG’s aviation team had its hands full last week keeping track of some network shake-ups by airlines. Most notably, [JetBlue revealed plans to cut numerous routes]( as part of a larger push to return to profitability. Most affected: shorter-hop routes on the West Coast, though the airline is pulling out of a handful of domestic and international cities, too, focusing on its “bread and butter” routes. We also saw [Delta Air Lines cut (and add) some flights]( last week, and — in a somewhat surprising move — low-cost Frontier Airlines announced it will [fly for the first time to New York’s John F.
