JetBlue CEO on Letterman

[Bavarian Chef]

Speaking of balls, I would like to compare and contrast Neeleman's ball's with Steenland's ball's. Discuss.

Did ya finally lose steam on that 8 million page thread? Balls v Balls? Come on man. It's like staring at the sun with binoculars. You don't want to go there.

In my opinion The JBLU passenger bill of rights falls short. The reason, they still will not endorse your ticket to a canceled JBLU flight over to another airline. After the Feb 14 storm many pax who flew in to NY were given refunds on a $156 (big deal) ticket only to have to go buy a one way ticket on the competition for $700. Looks to me like JBLU still wants to hold you captive.

Well, there are a couple of points to take away here.

#1 We don't "FIM" pax over to other airlines because when you buy a ticket on Jetblue it's "money up front" so to speak. We don't over sell flights and when you buy a ticket you really do get that seat. What a novel idea if you ask me. Now, you can change the reservation for a nominal fee, but the seat is yours to lose.
#2 The refunds you talk about ($156) where what they paid for the ticket? As far as having to buy a ticket on another carrier for $700, Well they are legally getting raped. Take a look at our "Walk up Fares" we don't stick it to someone when we certainly could.

So, tell me how JetBlue wants to hold you captive?

Go for it!

Not really germane to the topic, but knock yourself out.

Discuss.

Nah...I'm good.

Yeah, everyone ignored me there, so I came here to make new friends.

O.K. The point being at least he put them on display. They are bruised but intact. I can't think of another CEO who would do that.

Hey News just in, Mr COE of the year Gerald Grinstein is going to be on national TV to explain how he is sorry for letting everyone down for lining his pockets at the expense of labor and what he is going to do to put things right to win back the trust of those he swindled! oh wait he has no balls they are hanging from the back of the F150 I am stuck behind in traffic.
My hat is off to DN to stand behind the courage of his convictions.

That's "true"...just as saying Jeffrey Dahmer was a people person is also "true". Only from the narrowest of perspectives. If he went there to be accountable, then he chose the wrong venue. Letterman ain't news...it's entertainment.

Airline CEO's should be on Letterman only when they are brought out on a leash tethered by Jack Hanna.

I guess former Presidents of the United States fit into that category as well?

Well, no. I was very specific with my nouns. I said "Airline" and "CEO". A former President of the United States is not an "airline CEO".

Nouns are words we use to identify people, places, or things. If I mean a four-legged domestic feline. I type "c-a-t". That means I'm not referring to a four-legged domestic canine...which would be a "dog".

I select my nouns based on the topic and their applicability to the topic.

(lemme know if I'm going to fast for you...)

So you see, "former Presidents of the United States" doesn't fit into the same category as "airline CEO's".

Dismissed.

 

[Bavarian Chef]

Yeah, whatever. I guess I don't hold airline CEOs in high regard.

Occam, a bunch of words is no more a sentence than a pile of bricks is a house.

Rule 240 is in the vocabulary of every business traveler, and they know that B6 does not participate. I know of a few business travelers who have been burned by this. Why spend an extra night in a hotel away from the family when empty seats are available to get you where you want to be.

That is pretty fu!#ing funny.

Dave asked how are you gonna fix this he stumbled all over himself he had no answer

 

[clickclickboom]

David N is very good at speaking with someone like matt lauer in a controlled environment. David Letterman asking loaded questions with a punchline for the audience is a completely different animal.. I think he did fine under the circumstances

 

[My Man SMITH!]

Click, I agree! The response out on the line has been very positive so far!
