JetBlue CFO Resigns Suddenly


By Avi Salzman

JetBlue (JBLU) CFO Ed Barnes has resigned, the company announced after the market closed on Tuesday. The airline’s shares dropped 2.4% in after-hours trading after rising 4% during the day.
The company did not explain why Barnes, who has served as CFO since 2008, is resigning. JetBlue announced that Treasurer Mark Powers will replace him on an interim basis.
“Under Ed’s leadership, our company has benefitted from a stronger financial discipline, allowing us to plan a sustainable growth strategy,” said CEO Dave Barger. “The financial team Ed built will continue to serve JetBlue well, and we wish him well in his future endeavors.”

All the chatter picked up is very interesting. It is what it is. Hang on men.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

There's 1193 short-sighted dopes here that don't care.

Perish the thought.

I agree with you on this one. This merger might not work out as well as others.

Impossible: aa/b6. Dave was on the Jumpseat and said no way. However he did say he had a meeting set up with vx CEO on oct 8th. They called him and he had no idea why. But he said no way to aa, f9, vx, and spirt. impossible. And I'm sure he would have told me otherwise (it's not like it's illegal or anything)

Staple! j/k, I doubt anythings going to happen.

 

[$$$4nothin]

Staple!

Oh come on. No one likes an a$$hole. At least give us date of hire.

Nothing beats a good rumor when you are bored out of your mind on reserve in a crash pad
