Lot's of Jetblue non-sense, but I still don't see where this present SWA model of opening 1st tier cities is going. If Gary intends to continue down the same path, the convergence of fuel costs and payroll expenses are going to meet. Gary will very calmly say, we need you guys/gals to get in line with the rest of the industry so that we can continue to be the LCC leader. He will then point out that you can't accuse mgt of not doing a great job. It will then be up to SWAPA to say yes you guys are the greatest and we can't hang our hats(like most of the other pilot groups) on what a bunch of greedy bastards mgt is and we are going to stick it to you.firstthird said:[FONT="]Okay, I just can't let it go. Moteley Fool is still pumping jet blue stock after their less than stellar 4th quarter (CY). Now, if you read the article you'll see that he's going to do a follow up whether to buy the stock. Gee, I wonder what he'll say. Okay. But at least get your facts straight.
Okay, rant complete. And please, as I stated earlier, this rant isn't aimed at Jet Blue or their employees, in fact some of my best friends work for Jet Blue (a little humor there, although it is true); but at the MF column for shoddy reporting and irresponsible speculation. There are plenty of reasons to see positives for Jet Blue down the road, but I'm not sure any of them were pointed out in that column.[/FONT]
Me personally, I believe the pilots are going to play hardball with ol Gary. It will be a knock-down drag out adversarial match where Gary will be welcomed to the real world of airline mgt.
After this is all completed and he realizes that SWA is no different than the rest of the pack, he will then award himself and all senior mgt a new record for stock options.
