Jetblue CEO says its considering 787/A350 for Latin America

[Headfake14]

If they really wanted widebodies in 2015 then the orders better be placed today, especially with the backlog of 787/A350s

More likely they dont really intend to have widebodies in the next few years, but want to keep the dream alive for those hanging on tight.

I personally NEVER assumed Barger meant we'd have them on property BY 2015. I think the "order" will be...IF we go that route...sometime around 2015..or slightly sooner. I think actually having them for operations in 2015 is just a hair too soon. A couple years later....sure.

I'd be VERY surprised to have a 'heavy' in JB colors by 2015. There is a LOT of stuff we'd still need to do before then...first class, many more FA LODs, ETOPS, FA training for first class, part supply, MTX training and hiring T5i phase I....and god knows how many other things behind the scenes that us troops on the front line have no idea about.

...just a lot of chapters of this story have to take place before a twin isle comes in JB paint. I say just a bit later than 2015...

Frank Doss once told my class "Never believe it until you raise the gear handle on it!"

FRANK WAS RIGHT!

Classic! Awful place to work but man was it a great teacher. And for that I will never forget

There is only ONE reason for this "announcement"... another Ford and Harrison advised 'carrot' to keep ALPA away.... The ONLY reason.

won't work this time brother...

I hope the rest of the troops will understand that if the BOD and CEO want to get a bigger plane here...they'll do it REGARDLESS of union or not.

Yes he was!

"This ain't no expletive airline, it's scheduled charter...organized confusion."

The Barger lies

First, T5i will not be completed until at least 2015. So not having orders right away isn't a big deal. As for the Caribbean and Central/South America, our highest yields are coming out of places like BOG, SDQ, and SJO. By November, we'll probably be announcing JFK- SKCG and SKCL (3/4 times per week). Dave Barger seems to be impressed with the cargo flying that is coming by way of LAN CHILE and a larger aircraft will allow some of that. Who knows what will happen. I don't think anyone predicted the A321 so soon, so who knows what could be on the horizon. At least we're not talking of anything smaller, like the 190, lol...

Probably not a good idea to announce new destinations of our publically traded company before a press release is out.

I figure the asset transfer will already be in full swing by 2015.. Ya right jb pilots flying the 787 what a joke we cant even buy shirts or make a jungle jet run long enough to fly to california.

What the article doesnt say is that we will blow smoke and then just sign 10 more codeshares

Blah blah blah f-ing blah. It's just noise. I'll believe it when I see it.

Jeez. And you guys call me negative.

Its only the top 300 or so guys that would see it in the next 15 years anyway, so who the F@#k cares. Once again again a two-tiered society here at the Bluejet.

Isn't it always the top guys that fly those types
Of planes? It must be all the jr guys at Airways that fly the
330's. All airlines are a "two-tiered" society.
Since I am sure your are senior to me at "Bluejet"
could I have your bidding power and that way we could take the
first step to getting rid of this "two-tiered" system.

Why do you guys stay in this business when your always so miserable? Must be a horrible existance.

Because we're the best at what we do. No one else could or would do it. And we're Dangerous.
