Next time It fails see if you have voltage at the jump point in the engine bay. If no voltage most likely failure at the BST contact that is somehow opening and closing. If you have voltage at the B+ under the hood the problem almost certainly is key related: switch/ews/key.

Try the other key. If the problem goes away likely bad solder joint on the ews in the key there is a guy will fix for $60
Not the key, both have the same issue. If it were the ignition switch wouldn't my accessories not work? and wouldn't it not always start with a jump? Also when it won't start, voltage at the B+ is very low, below 1.
