Boycott Jet Blue

[jarhead]

Might be a good idea to become a doctor. Not many would fly to India to see a doc, or have their appendix removed. On the other hand, it would please me if all the lawyers went overseas

It would be nice to see some executive jobs move overseas. How many brilliant Indian MBA's are out there willing to work for $50,000/year as opposed to $5,000,000/year.

Somehow, though, I doubt we'll ever see those jobs move overseas.

Glad to see Xenophobia in America is still rampant. Vive la France!!!

I will bet my Gulf War(I) Air Medal that most of our families couldn't speak english at one time. Si, Como No?

 

[LAZYB]

I am "actively" boycotting JetBlue...

I have not interviewed with JB - they haven't called...

I have not accepted a pilot position there - they won't interview me.

What more can I do?

 

[limodriver1]

what was before USA!

Before United States of America, many country in Europe already exist.

Without foreigners there would not be USA!

Without Airbus there would not be ????

 

[HAZ-MAT]

"Without Airbus there would not be ????"

There would not be the term... following the short bus to runway 36

Glad to see Xenophobia in America is still rampant. Vive la France!!!

Why do liberals always label things they don't agree with as Xenophobia, nazi like, or hatred? The nastiest name calling comes from political activists (Liberals) that claim they are for tolerance and fairness. Bull Hockey!!

Just calm down. I don't believe we should boycott anyone, especially JetBlue. But the theme to buy American is a valid one. I do buy foreign products but buying from Americans is a good thing. What if no one in America wanted your services and you couldn't find work???

Unrestricted Free Trade is a fallacy. Trade is managed and balanced to make sure people are protected. People should come first. Don't let some Jackass executive who wants to prop up his $10 million salary and "banckrupty" protected retirement plan tell you what is best for you.

Get a grip.

Idiot

I normally don't reply to morons, but this can't go by without a balanced response. First, don't whine because you're flying in the reserves after getting your ticket with my hard earned tax dollars. SUCK IT UP.
Second, Boeing DIDN"T EVEN WANT TO SELL airplanes to Neeleman. Aircraft sales were good and JetBlue was a new entry into the market. Boeing couldn't be bothered selling a few planes to an unproven customer. They lost BIG. Too bad, so sad, I'd rather fly the bus anyway. Good choice JetBlue. So before you star whining again pal, do your homework.

Krispy Kreme

I don't mind some trends but the jet blue and krispy kream (sic) ones drive me nuts. i feel so unoriginal when i participate in those products.
Please don't take me too seriously.

WHOOAAAAAAAA there sonny.....

Krispy Kreme ain't no trend - - it's an institutuion, a culture.

Sometimes it's OK to be "unoriginal." Nuthin' to "participate in" - - just eat the things. They're like manna from heaven.

Once again, I don't want to boycott anyone. Thanks for the info on why JetBlue bought Airbus.

Please stop calling me names, I may start to cry soon.

I am sure everyone will agree the new mnce/flight trng/sat tv base being built in France for jetblue is yet another example of the total disregard DN' has for american jobs and us industry....The local community in L'ordano de centrif de Florida ( a little known village in deepest darkest liberal France) is just brimming with pride as they toast an "oh la la"....all those mnce/sim/customerservice/hotel/transportation/construction/insurance/electrical/plumming/etc etc etc jobs going to those good for nothing frenchies.....the nerve as well of the local mayor, Monsueir Jeb LaBooosch, welcoming jb to the area.....it just makes me mad......

Delta- Flew A310-200 and -300 aircraft from '91-'95 (The -300's being purchased new from Airbus)


--03M

Delta received the buses as a part of their Pan Am deal. The Airbus spent most of it's service with Delta as white tails parked at ATL.

I thought we went to Libiya with F-111's.

F-16s, F-111s whatever it takes.

[100LL... Again!]

If you had any idea of the unpatriotic and globalist stance taken by Boeing, you would realize that there is no pro-US aircraft manufacturer.

I don't like airbuses, or the French, but I have to call them as I see them.

The original post is, essentially, jingoism.
