If Jet Blue needs the plane in Boston, they should drop off their passengers in Worcester and then fly it there. Putting people on the ground somewhere other than where they paid to be because they messed up their Boston operations is unacceptable.

Right, but they're a business. They can easily compensate the people who don't want to be in Boston with something free.

It's a pretty safe assumption that a good portion, if not a majority, of the people flying on the plane live closer to Boston anyways.

Not sure this is what happened anyway, but to your comment:

If they are flying into Worcester, isn't it a pretty safe assumption they either have their car there or someone is waiting to pick them up?

If they live closer to Boston then why wouldn't they just fly into Boston?

Because flights into Boston are generally much more expensive and you're only losing an hour flying into Worcester and hopping over to the commuter rail.

Not everyone has a ton of cash to fly out of wherever is closest to them. I've driven to Rhode Island for flights when they were more expensive out of Worcester even though that's only 10min from my house.
