Jetblue A-320 to Land at ORD 1030AM CST

[Zipperhead]

I saw it too! There was a truck with "BFI" painted on the side of it pulling up to haul the JBLU passengers away.

Good one...MORON....

As usual,,General Lee can't help bash B6...I could say about a million things about UAL ,but I don't. Try to say something positive for a change General.

I have something positive---unlimited jumpseats on DL for all Jetblue pilots! Welcome onboard!

We are getting better though, and are starting to post some modest profits, which will hopefully grow.

Easy to do when there is only one place to go when the bottom of the pond has been reached?

 

[Fins Up]

Your own management is under scrutiny by investors and analysts too. Bye Bye--General Lee

Investors and analysts are so worried that our stock went up after the earnings report came out and jumped again after we announced Newburgh and Chicago.

True dat. Which way are you guys heading?

Sure, your stock also went up when you announced slowing growth. Seems like you can't sustain that huge growth you used to have. Selling planes, slowing deliveries, good for you guys. SWF should be fun with Airtran there, and ORD will smack you around like a bi-atch. Enjoy that. Your on-time performance, which already is in the toilet due to JFK and our numerous Dash 8s in your way, will slide even more. Good times.

Ok Ok....

I only have one thing to say....

GENERAL LEE, I love your signature.

As I stated before, DL management throws D8's and RJS into JFK like there's no tomorrow. Yes, it hurts our on time perf, but yours as well. The big difference is, we have to pay our bills right now and you don't, so the more 37 seaters the better, right? There should be some accountability at some point, but that's not the way the current system is set up. So it goes...

Hey, you are welcome to try the CHAP 11 process. It is open to anyone, any company. IF you really want to try it, do it. I don't suggest it though. Not fun. But, if your company gets into deep do do, then you would be happy to have the option. That is the way it goes. And, the Dash 8s and RJs hurt all of our collective bottom lines, but we actually get feed from them onto our planes to go here and there, while you only see the negative, higher gas bills and on time performance in the toilet at your major hub.

I was personally responsible for most of the 2300 early Captain retirements a couple years back. I guess they "finally flew with the BEST....."

How do you feel about mine?

Hey, you are welcome to try the CHAP 11 process.

Can you even imagine what a Bankrupt JetBlue would sell ticket prices for. He11, we might just relocate our entire operation to ATL and then pay people to ride us.

I gotta jump in here. I worked that JBU flight out of JFK while working JFK depature control today. I noticed ORD on the flight strip, and figured it was the inagural flight, but didnt say anthing because of other priorities at the time. Congrats to JBU.

Anyway, I'm a controller at NY TRACON in the JFK sector, and I must say, that our volume is going up and and up and up. First it was JBU A320's, then lots of RJ's, then E190's from JBU, then a host of new Intl carriers, then the rise and fall of Song, now the Dash 8s. I heard that we were holding at CAMRN and LENDY (for those of you who know the airspace) at 8am the last few mornings due to volume. I have been working in the sector for 7+ years and have NEVER seen us holding at 8am, unless we were on ILS 13L or the weather was really really crappy. We held those days for VOLUME, on a clear and a million day nonetheless. For those of you who fly into JFK a lot, you might expect holding around 3pm or 6-8pm, but never on a day shift! I can also remember working midnight shifts and early day shifts (530-130p), and working all the redeye's over LENDY between 4-7am, then it was dead until noon when the ROBER traffic showed up. These days, at 7am, we are pumping traffic. Throw in a wrench such a any kind of wind or bad weather, or JFK tower telling us to stay off the overflow runway (22R, 4L, and 31L), and we are at capacity quick.

Just some thoughts from a controller as to the delays I think JFK is going to start to see in the near future due to sheer volume. Remember people, you throw a few heavys into the mix at JFK, and the finals start getting real stretched out...

Wow, that was a classic. How long did it take for you to come up with that one? Academy Award for writing....
