$27,500--I'll take it

[Cavity]

The chief pilot was worried that pilots shirts were different shades of blue and the company was busy getting ready for a Halloween silent disco at T-5 in JFK, that's why.

You speak the truth with that statement, you said it perfectly.

Let's face it, there's not much to like about Connecticut anyways... That place blows!!!!! This situation reinforces it for me. Sounds like the airport personnel are just a bunch of idiots - 7 hours to deplane people?????

We will only get better by working together. I know the passion everyone brings to the job sometimes leads to frustration when things don’t go right. But we can never, ever, blame each other for a service failure. I expect JetBlue Crewmembers to stand up and take responsibility for their part, and ask for help when help is needed. We either win together or lose together – no one stands alone. Part of this requires everyone to be willing to give and take feedback dispassionately, and not personally.

Corporate speak translated:

Don't make us look bad, even if we royally screwed up. Just whitewash it and throw yourself under the bus.
If you screwed up, be honest, take the blame and throw yourself under the bus.
You can always ASK us for help but, if we refuse to give it, STFU, or we will throw you under the bus.

Remember we're all in this together..

As expert commentator: "we've been having transportation issues since Donner Pass."

Gotta love it.

For those of you criticizing the use of BDL as an alt. I was watching the wx for my commute and the forecast was 6 to 8 hrs off predicting the storms arrival.

Yep. Thats what I said...and also someone else...in previous posts.

On paper it was actually okay...the TAF was no where near what actaully happened...and that was the same for other aiports as well. JFK wasn't supposed to get snow till after 2100L..it started around noon I think.

When 504 diverted...BDL was still okay, but the $hit was already on the way to the fan...unbeknownst to them.
