Jet Blue's CFO Just Quit

[johnsonrod]

I just read in today's WSJ (11/9) that Jet Blue's CFO (John Harvey) just quit to pursue "other professional interests." Hmmmmm. I guess working in the airline industry for most of his career (including time at SWA) and then ascending the ranks to CFO of a growing LCC airline wasn't good enough for him. That sounds odd to me because he sounded like an "airline guy" who enjoyed this crazy business...

Is this an ominous sign? What could this mean? First the founder is out. Now the CFO unexpectedly resigns. Any thoughts?????

Netjets is by far a safer and better company to work for. Better Pay, No Commute, No crash pad in Lovely Queens, No airport car. FREE HEALTH CARE for the ENTIRE FAMILY! Our owners are much better equiped to ride out higher gas prices that are coming. Yeah you might be flying a small Business jet vs a Mighty E-190 Commuter Jet but does it matter? Maybe to the 27 year old with the Frosted tips hair cut and the Ipod in his ear new Hire at jetblue.

We stay in 4 and 5 star hotels get to keep all the Hotel points and Airline Miles. Taking the Family on vacation by Non reving on any airline is a thing or the past. Just look UAL is thinking about parking 100 jets if fuel goes up.

Oh yeah instead of Overdosing on Blue chips on your next Red eye you can eat a lot healthier here as we can order pretty much what ever we want for food and as many time 4 meals per day.
