JB and codesharing

JetBlue looks at options for international flights​

JetBlue doesn’t plan to be flying overseas anytime soon, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the New York-based discounter won’t be able to offer you an international flight. "We are actually in the very early stages of figuring out a way for customers to [fly] with any international airline that wants to partner with us," spokeswoman Jenny Dervin tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The paper writes that Dervin’s “comments appeared to be the first remarks about JetBlue's partnering plans since late January, when the airline's top executive commented on the topic.” CEO David Neeleman said then that JetBlue “could have something by the end of 2006." Could JetBlue be trying to speed up that timetable given Delta’s recent announcement that it would create a large international hub at JFK by September? "That's definitely a date on the calendar that's interesting to us," Dervin says.
As for any possible deal, JetBlue’s Dervin said that any possible alliance would likely operate different than the typical code-share deals many U.S. airlines have with international partners, where they place their flight numbers and sell seats on each other's flights. Airline expert Darryl Jenkins seemed to agree that was the most likely scenario, saying: “The term in use is 'marketing alliance.' You do things to increase traffic but not increase cost." He adds that JetBlue is "the 800-pound gorilla" at JFK, so "anything they do beyond that on international flights is really gravy to them." What potential partners could be in the mix? Jenkins mentioned Virgin Atlantic, MAXjet and Air India.

I thought the blew was best served solo. Seems that they have too many airplanes and not enough places to fly them profitably.

When do the furloughs start? Still going to hire 600 this year? I am so blue at the thoughts of blew going bye bye.

nice try LT...you wont be engaging nearly as many b6 pilots anymore...they have their own forum...most have scattered from here!

What a D!ck

Thats the only thing that came to mind after reading his post.

 

[starvingredtail]

Sounds more like another case of "thinking outside the box" that upsets the small minds that didn't reapply after 6 months.

Scattered like cock roaches I would say. Watching the air blow out of the blew sails is downright enjoyable. Perhaps they can all get jobs with Virgin Red. Or the fact that they shut the doors will not mean anything. Those pilots will be absorb back into the system. At least that is the argument made by the blow hards about my company. So pardon me if I enjoy a bit of squirming in the smurfville.

Real nice jackass.

Real nice jackass.

Didn't see too many of you guys calling the blew boys names when the rest of the industry was going through troubles. You had all the blew genius youth here telling everyone that blew would rule the world. Just nice to see some reality scattered on those airbags.

WTF? Grow up.

No, just 530 as originally projected. And don't worry, you can reapply in 6 months, not 12 like you originally thought. That will save you 265 numbers.

While you're waiting, don't you have a scope clause you could be loosening or something?

Ya know... I actually think I feel sorry for you. Its rare to find someone so blinded by hatred.

Tell me how adapting a plan and offering more service is a bad thing again?

So blind...

Hoookay, 32Lt...

Submit something substantive, something that contributes to the board, or you'll be asked to take a hike.

I can stand people taking pokes (sts) at JetBlue. Dave Seigel is quite adroit at satire, for example. While I detest his messages, at least he is somewhat funny in his approach.

You, however, are simply posting flamebait. That is against the rules and you'll be treated appropriately if you continue.

Well, let's look at which alliances JB might look at. SkyTeam (DL, AF, NW, CAL, KLM, CSA, KE, etc)? No. Star Alliance (UAL, LH, Sing, etc)? No. One World (AA, BA, QA, EM, etc)? No. So, who would hook up an alliance with JB? Anybody? Who flies into JFK that is NOT part of one of the previous alliances that would bring in enough passengers to feed JB flights as connections? (I guess BOS too can be included)

Bye Bye--General Lee

Man you are sooo smart. You should be in airlline management. I think the management team at JetBlue might have a better idea of available code share partners then you. By the way this is OLD news. It's been tossed around for at least 6 months.

Hey retard, you never gave me an example. Do you have to wait for management to tell you everything? How about you come up with something and I will debate you? Maybe you don't know enough about the possible hook ups. I do. Come on, just try to come up with one, or maybe two. How about Bangladesh Biman---twice weekly DC10 service from Brussels (changing to Manchester this Summer). I bet a lot of people in Dhaka, Bangladesh want to connect on JB from JFK to FLA. You never know.

Come on retard, come up with something.

I think you must be a tad of a imbecile to wish ill fortune on any group, shame on you you bitter little squirt!

Wow even you have reverted to being a "mud slinger" I thought better of you GL. Maybe you are having a bad day and I will give you the benefit of the doubt?:erm:

 

[Phaedrus]

elag777: actually, GL was simply calling him by his screen name. If he goes by "retard", then call him "retard". GL had a valid point in that retard never offered any substantive rebuttal of GL's position.

Wow I guess I have to explain my sense of humour to everyone, a feeble attempt I guess at a "Play on words," sorry if you didn't get it Everyone is a bit touchy today?

 

[Phaedrus]

How, exactly, was anyone supposed to "get it"?

 

[elag777]

How, exactly, was anyone supposed to "get it"?

Me thinks it was a bit too subtle sorry get over it!

 

[G4G5]

Skyteam
Aeromexico, Airfrance, KLM, Alatilia, Continental, Korean, NWA, DAL, TSA

Star
Air Canada, New Zealand, ANA, Thai, Asiana, BMI, Austrian, LOT, SAS, Lufthansa, Singapore, Spanair, TAP, USAir, Varig

These folks are not STAR but will allow the use of miles. They would be up for grabs with Jetblue. I know that Swiss tried on more then one occasion to get into Oneworld but were turned away.
Aeromar, Air China, Aloha, BWIA, Emeriates, South African, Swiss

Oneworld
Aer Lingus, JAL, Malev, Cathay, AA, BA, Finair, Iberia, Qantas, LAN

The other ones that come to mind would be
Jamaican (works with DAl but not partner), Air India, Saudia, Aeromar, Air China, Aloha, BWIA, Emeriates, South African, Swiss, Aeroflot

The above list would provide more then enough feed for Jetblue.

What would concerns me more is if Jetblue could work out an alliance with EasyJet or Ryan. What happens when one of these folks figures out how to connect across the Atlantic?

A company like Jet(India's LCC) which is flying A340's or Air India could easily drop hundreds of Indians on Jetblues door at JFK every day.

Their is plenty of alliance market share for someone like Neelman to grab.




Jet, Ryan

Yes, your overwhelmingly subtle, comedic intellect escapes us all.
Just fess up that you dinged the General without realizing he wasn't being p!ssy.
I f@rt in your general direction.

Yup you got me there!:erm: now go into the forest and find me a shrubbery!

O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a

Yeah they even have a cleaning forum!

Eaglefilp,

How is your research going on the events you said never happened? Did you find any information?

As for the difference between what I post and Sigel, riiiiiiiight.

 

[32LT10]

I think you must be a tad of a imbecile to wish ill fortune on any group, shame on you you bitter little squirt!

Did the JBLU group on this forum not openly tout the death of the majors? Just recently there was a post that if one of the Legacy carriers disappeared the pilots would be soaked back into the system at other carriers. This is the exact same wish I have for JBLU. Just want to make sure we are all playing on a level field. Good times are great. But when you start having to pay for things the future does not look so bright.

Was it the entire jetblue pilot group, or just one poster, does the author of that post even work for jetblue? Should we condenm all of United just because of your atitude?

But when you start having to pay for things the future does not look so bright.

Well, we will find out, now that UAL is out of Ch.11.
