It was sort of fun while it lasted, will the last guy leaving please turn out the lights!

If you guys do shut out the lights, will it be hard to find new work in Yonkers or Ozone Park?

No where this month includes new service to Montego-bay and new service LAX-JKF and LAX-BOS twice a day.


Where is JKF? Also, you have to compete with your new version (Virgin America), and you may lose money on some of those routes in order to do so. Also, those routes already have established carriers on them, and also are long enough to maybe cause a fuel stop during strong headwind Winter days. It will be interesting no doubt. Remember also that other airlines on those routes also have live TV (we have Dish Network on all flights over 1700 nm on 73Ns and 757/767s) and CAL is adding liveTV also.

My prediction, is all airbus operators merge together and become SWA with airbuses. You know someone somewhere has the plans drawn up. I would guess the keep teh Jetblue brand.
 
Why only on flights over 1700 nm, general?

Well, those same planes do go onto places that have shorter distances of course. Those planes often do FLA turns from ATL after doing transcons, or short flights from SLC to the West Coast. The aim initially was to equip all planes flying on those routes over 1700 NMs to compete with JB A320s. Also, we have more than one or two types of planes (JB has A320s and E190s), and we also have 800 mainline planes now after merging with NWA. So, we will equip certain planes that do warrent those TVs. It is easier to do it when you get a new plane and have time to install the TVs etc. When you already fly those planes, taking them out of service may cost you more. I do have the feeling we are installing more though now, since we don't need all of the lift during these slow months currently. I bet all 757s, dom 767s, and 73Ns will be equiped shortly. Some FNWA planes like A319s or A320s may also eventually get TVs too. Our INTL birds won't get them because we can't get satelite coverge everywhere on the planet.

Endangered Airline?.....If it makes you feel any better, you could look at the upside. We wrote down $53 mill for the drop in value of our action rate securities and we wrote down another $58 mill for crappy fuel hedges so we could report a year quarter loss of and a year loss of $76mill ....the good news is that our airline made an operational profit,which is money made is flying planes form A-B. Look at the 2009 forcast, we are looking to make $$ (For the full year 2009, JetBlue expects to report an operating margin between 12 and 14 percent. Pre-tax margin for the full year is expected to be between six and eight percent.)

Is that a record for the word "also"?
 
We lost $53 million on a security that was supposed to be as safe as cash.
