JetBlue and Cape Air have had a partnership dating back to 2007, as the airlines have had a codeshare agreement since then. It has just been announced that this partnership is now being taken to the next level, as it’s now possible to earn and redeem JetBlue TrueBlue points for travel on Cape Air.

Doesn't Cape have similar arrangements with other majors? B6 might be playing catchup here. Though, in fairness, if one is behind, catching up is a good first step.
Very odd that you can only book itineraries that are exclusively CapeAir using TrueBlue points (i.e., you can't book a mixed itinerary where you fly JetBlue from LGA > BOS, then continue BOS > PVC on CapeAir). In contracts, Delta permits these mixed itineraries using SkyMiles.
Glad to see at least JetBlue is following Delta's example of a coherent partnership with Cape Air. United and American's way of doing things is insane. No earning unless the flight carries a UA or AA flight number (and no Cape Air flights in New England do, and in the Caribbean it's fairly random). I've never successfully redeemed UA miles for a Cape Air flight anywhere, and on AA you can only redeem AA miles on Cape Air flights in certain random cities.
UA and AA really need to get it together.
Good fit with the B6 hunker down strangely of focusing on the east coast (Boston) and Caribbean (San Juan).
Should B6 ever get its act together again, may be adventurous to purchase a commuter airline like Silver or Cape Air to handle smaller markets like New England via Boston; the Bahamas via Fort Lauderdale; or the Caribbean islands via San Juan.
