They have been "paying for those airplanes" since day one.

 

[rayford steele]

[Whiskerbizkit]

Always someone that doesnt work for us that thinks they know more.....Wait, you do work here.

 

[Fins Up]

I thought maybe he was being sarcastic since that idiotic argument had been put to rest a long time ago. Guess not. Wow - the ignorance is almost unbearable.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.

I'm glad B6 in back in black. They deserve it. I would argue that most of the nay sayers have never flown on B6. In my opinion they do it (all coach) better than everyone else. Great people, great product.

Good luck.

I hope JB makes big money now because February is just around the corner... Those JFK delays get costly.

Hey congratulations on the profit!

I see to celebrate, you announced you are pulling out of BNA and CMH. That's always a good sign.

Maybe you should start a code share with Skybus. You could combine forces to pull out of cities more efficiently.

Hey congratulations on the profit!

Thanks Frank!

I don't think JetBlue has a better chance of being profitable than 100 other predecessors with new airplanes, new employees, low fares, all touchy-feely ... all of them are losers. Most of these guys are smoking ragweed.

 

[EMB170Pilot]

too bad your father did'nt pull out

hahaha

 

[EMB170Pilot]

Shocking they made money! I thought Big Balls Airline was "mounting the competition."

nope, i smoke sensimilla bud. that's the goods stuff.


so if everyone that works for low cost is a loser, what traits make up a pilot at a big airline that i'm sure you work at? hey, want a hug?

 

[Sailpilot]

Wow, you JB guys sure cleaned the house this quarter!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I can't stand this guy... but that was funny.

 

[tie1on]

BFD, if you can't make money with everyone else making money they should shut down

 

[AWACoff]

I just want to thank the poster "Frank Lorenzo" for existing here. Here is a person that welcomes people crapping all over him yet posts realistic management drivel. In an ironic and sarcastic way, Frank personifies FI in the truest sense. Thanks azzhole!

 

[SNOWBUM]

did anyone actually listen to the earnings conference and did they talk about their new 5 year plan or is it still top secret?
