It's "knowledge". It's not easy to see that when your management says that you are pulling back capacity to Florida, then, my friends, the writing is on the wall. Your fingers turn Blue due to lack of circulation, right before they fall off. Jet Blue's management type is like the Billionaire Boys Club, trying to sell an image versus really selling a product. Ego, and the desire to really screw your baby smurfs, led to the EMB acquisition, with substandard payscales to add to the pitiful operational performance that smart people like me said would happen.
As far as my source, it's Neeleman himself, bragging about the costruction of his new toy while pulling back capacity. Didn't I already say this? Oh, helicopter pilot, I guess you just hover along thinking that Neeleman really cares about you. If you're actually employed by Jet Blue, the good news is that the ship is only starting to show leaks, so there's time to get yourself ready for life after furlough.
If you're lucky, maybe you'll merge with Frontier, or Alaska (but I doubt Alaska would take a chance on you, as you're a risky investment, as you can see by your stock prices).
If I were you, I'd plan to be in a place where you can pay the bills without needing your smurf paycheck, because it most likely won't be there ten years from now. I know that must really stink to hear that, but I owe it to you to tell you the truth. Stop living a lie and start getting ready for life without Jet Blue.
Hey, don't shoot the messenger, as there are plenty of other non-smurfs out there that also see the writing on the wall.
