Shares rally? How do you figure since it was announced after the market closed?

 

[redflyer65]

After hours rally of 5%.

I guess the investment community has been wanting this move for awhile after reading previous articles.

They did want this change, but not as much will change with our product as Wall Street thinks. Some bag fees and some other ancillary revenue, probably nothing else.

 

[Splert]

According to robin our product, offerings and network will evolve which is bluespeak for change.

 

[Smarta$$]

That's what I said, but not as much as Wall Street wants. We will not suddenly be Spirit. By the way, the stock is down.

 

[B6Driver]

Do you want to be like Spirit?

Oh that is what "probably nothing else' means.

Whew!

Yeah, we did just announce changes to the "Where We Jet" feature on our website, so I guess I was wrong....

No I don't personally. No offense to anyone.

I love when pilots, who have nothing to do with the product once the cockpit door is shut, give up money because they "want to be proud of the product". Would you move the aircraft differently if you charged for bags, added a few more seats?

Last I checked you receive a 5% profit sharing check? You should want to be like spirit. For those that were at Jetblue in the beginning think how big that check would be if your stock was at 68 a share versus the 10 a share it is now??

When it's all said and done, what counts is what you retire with. Not the silly statements like the one below....

"Design plays such an integral part in our story," says Lisa Borromeo, JetBlue Director of Brand Management and Advertising, "While others may push revamped logos or disorienting paint schemes, we feel it's important to build a visual language as we grow. Our tailfin patterns will always reflect a fresh style, with a timeless appeal that is core to who we are as a brand."

Lol, a visual language? I'd say Jetblue gave you guys some "visual language" (and some physical) when they fisted you with your healthcare costs.

For those that are defined by their job, the company work for or the product in the back , no offense meant. For the rest that see their job as a means to an end, go after the cheddar. No pun intended.

Do you want to be like Spirit?

Yes I do, I want to be as profitable as they are. No I'm not applying, I'm senior to you.

As a pilot for Spirit I do wish we did some things like Jetblue. Such as, take pride in the cleaning of our cabins... Sometimes it's very embarrassing, but most pilots are very adamant about getting the cabin cleaned when it's bad, even if it means delaying a flight.

 

[B6Driver]

I'm glad you're happy at Spirit.

Um that's a pr person not a pilot.
I want to make money while treating people well, and I think you can do both.
Or maybe we could just do things the Spirit way.

Just hope the government never decides to tax all your fees.
But in the end it's a free market and people fly who they fly, jetblue will adapt or die.
