Is this preceeding the furlough or shutdown ?

I suppose they could continue to burn the furniture to heat the house (sell more Airbuses), but that won't hold for long with JFK ground fuel burns and $100+ barrel crude.

Perhaps JB could dump all the buses and be a EMB-190 only operation. Maybe then AA will buy them and make the 190 the replacement for MD-80 domestic ops. It would at least save a lot of jobs, but you'd probably have to suck on a stapler. AA EMB-190's would make it through the LGA future limits and an AA BK could ax the pensions that would make these planes profitable.

Ahh..........just pondering.

Good Luck.............you guys are at the top of the "watchlist" for BK.

Didn't Neeleman just pull the ripcord on his parachute ?

Top of whose watchlist? Do you mean top of your wishlist? Go away tool.

JBLU's got enough cash on hand to not have any issues for the near term. It's not on any credible analyst's BK list.

I don't think there's a company out there that isn't worried about these issues affecting the "near term."

The money from Lufthansa was not a gift, but an investment. If they see their cash going away they might pull it, just like the investors did to Skybus. All those Columbus area businesses saw their investment was about to up and vanish. It is not all about how much cash is on hand, but how much of that cash is actually yours.

Whats really sad is that you actually wasted some of your precious free time to even reseach his posts.

If I wanted to gamble on Jet Blow I could have applied years ago.

I passed.

Nuf' said.

I kick Karma's ass every day...........and the "bottom" has kept me fed quite well. I make more then most of your pilots.

Could Jet Blue pilots be the next dead fish stinking up the beach ?

After all, as a "middle feeder" you're closer to the surface (and the beach) then I am.

Good start.

You forgot $127,000/year, weekends off, drive to work, 100% match on 401(k) and almost 90% of my seniority list below me.

I thought American was trying to sell American Eagle. Have they given up on that?

Yeah, didn't I read Mesa was buying them....oh wait I think it was Trans States.

 

[Skybus]

You just described the status and income of the top 100 or so flight attendants at SW. Welcome to the big leagues. However their 100% 401K is 7.3% on every $$ and historical profit sharing of about 8-9%. How do you compare now???

They tried to sell or spin it off late last year. The M&A market's dead, so I doubt they could get a halfway decent price for Eagle.
