JetBlue Feb. Interviews?

Jet Blue is not a Major Airline

This is from the US DOT's website.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Airlines are classified in several different ways, however, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the primary government entity that oversees national transportation policy defines airlines based strictly on annual revenues as follows:[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Major Airline:
A major airline is one that generates over $1 billion in annual operating revenues. This list currently includes Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, American Eagle, ATA Holdings, America West, Continental Air Lines, Delta Air Lines, DHL Airways, FedEx, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United, United Parcel Service (UPS), and US Airways.[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]National Airline:
A national airline is one that generates between $100 million and $1 billion in annual operating revenues. The national airlines tend to serve particular regions of the country; however, some do fly long-haul flights. Some examples are: AirTran, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue, and Midwest Express.[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Regional Airline:
A regional airline is one that generates under $100 million in revenues and generally serves small communities. The Regional Airline Association defines regional airlines as "...operat(ing) short and medium haul scheduled airline service connecting smaller communities with larger cities and connecting hubs. The airlines' fleet primarily consists of 19 to 68 seat turboprops and 30 to 100 seat regional jets." Some examples are: American Eagle Airlines, Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Atlantic Coast Airlines, and SkyWest Airlines.[/FONT]​

Oh boy, but American Eagle is. What's your point? Should all of the posts about Eagle be moved over here since they are a "major"?

My point is simple..Jet Blue is not a major

Hope you feel better.......

My point is simple..Jet Blue is not a major

JetBlue posted operating revenues of 1.2 Billion in 2004 and 1.7 Billion in 2005. 2006 will be over 2 Billion. By the definition in your link to the DOT site, JetBlue is a major airline. American Eagle, ExpressJet, and SkyWest are also now classified as Major airlines based upon that DOT definition. That link is a little outdated buddy. Sorry to prove your point wrong. Here is the link to the JetBlue 2005 annual report with the financial info on operating revenue.

And according to that post, ACA is still around. I think that pretty much sums it up.

Out of curiousity, what is coming up on the caller ID when they call? I missed a few calls yesterday and no message left. Probably wishful thinking but.....

My home phone said "JetBlue Airways" when they called.

I think they call from SLC so it would be an 801 area code. All the calls I received came from the 801 area code.

 

[Charlie Brown]

It came up "JetBlue Airways", and was a NY area code.

[FONT=&quot]I don't harbor any negativity toward JetBlue or any other airline. I hope all the airlines do well....just not as well as mine. If you found the point pointless then why did you respond?

The link was from 2004 and clearly lists JetBlue as a regional even with 1.2 billion in revenues. The other airlines listed as "regionals" also have more than 1 billion in revenues yet there they are.[/FONT] JetBlue is[FONT=&quot] not a major airline they are a regional/LCC.[/FONT]

Delta is not in the best of shape right now, so please don't wish that kind of "wellness" on any of us......

Granted Delta has seen better days but things are improving. We are hiring pilots, getting new airframes and maybe even some black ink in 07. My intention with the post was to correct the perception that I had some ill feelings toward JetBlue or any other carrier. I do not! I hope 2007 is a good year for the industry as a whole.

Take care,
Todd

The number that came up on my caller ID when they called was an (801) area code from Holladay, Utah. Hope that helps.
