Didn't Jetblue just sign a mx package with IRAQ Air? I thought it said they would fix or give C checks to all of their A320s for FREE, as long as they take our troops out of there. Maybe Neeleman bought off on it. He sounds desperate.
Bye Bye--General Lee
Heh General,
Since you are a general, why don't you go over to Iraq and lead our troops? You guys have it all wrong. JetBlue isn't taking troops out Iraq, I heard we're helping the Air Force take more troops TO Iraq so we can mount a spring offensive into Iran. Let's see, we invaded Iraq because Sadaam was a nut, he might have WMDs, and he might aid terrorists. Thus, we should have been in Iran years ago since Iran has a President who is a nut, they already have facilities to make nukes, and they've had a long history of funding terrorist organizations. I give it a few more months. This action has to be taken before a dirty bomb or nuke goes off in New York or DC or LA. Sure, I'm an idiot for saying such a thing. Then again, no one here can say that this won't ever happen given how any terrorist who is determined enough will do exactly that. The US didn't want to go into WWI or WWII or Korea or Vietnam. Nothing against Democrats or Republicans but it was a Democrat that got us into all of those wars eh...but a Republican Nixon that got us out of Vietnam. Clinton got us into Somolia, what happened there? Clinton got us into Yugoslavia and we're still there.
Now, lets talk airline stuff. General, how many times have you heard a Delta customer get off your airplane and say, "Thank you for a great flight, Delta is my favorite airline--you guys are the greatest and I'll never fly anyone else!"
I know where you are buddy, I heard that positive thank you once or twice from a handful of drunk NWA customers getting off our 30 year old DC-9s.
Here at JetBlue, most all of our customers get off the airplane with a smile and say, "JetBlue is the greatest airline I've ever flown on, you guys are the greatest, the TV's and XM radio were awesome, thanks!" Sure, we got a black-eye a couple of weeks ago. No excuses. Give these customers some free tickets and some blue chips and they'll all be coming back to fly us again and again. Maybe some won't. Those who won't will just fly on Delta once and will come back to JetBlue again and again too. Ouch!
New Yorkers are hard to please, but we still get 6 years in a row #1 Best Domestic Airline awards for service. We'll probably still earn that award this year too! Wouldn't that be funny. If you are proud of your Delta product. Great. But more than TV's we have great employees. That's why even TV's on your SONG could not compete with JetBlue. Heck, most of the refunds, round trip vouchers, etc you hear about today with the "Passengers Bill of Rights" were already being handed out like candy for years before the ice storm. Now, it's just in writing for everyone to see.
Ok, now you all think I'm a hard ass. Not really. Yesterday, we were flying a trip from MCO to SWF. The lead flight attendant told me halfway in the flight that the airplane was not stocked with ice when we left MCO. So, on our descent into SWF, I appologized to our customers on the PA stating, "We are sorry for your inconveniece that we were not able to have any ice for your drinks. I guess after our problems we had a few weeks ago, JetBlue doesn't want to have anything to do with ice. Can you blame us?"
