Jetblue LGB base?

Heard someone mention Lufthansa may buy them and we'd lease them back at a highly discounted rate. Anyone else hear something like this.

LH is totally into wasting cash. That is what they do. Afterall it is sooooo easy to earn it may as well burn it.

...if there were any additions to the west coast, look north, but that won't happen for awhile. Have heard a Bay area (said, sfo-oak-sjc) domicile in the future. All other additions to flying are bos and island flying.

On airlinepilotcentral.com it says there is a OAK base. Thought LGB was the only west coast base.

What about those old rumors about someday adding A330s for the North-South flying to South America? Anybody want to put odds on that rumor?

OAK is a "satellite base" of LGB -- the only pilots eligible for the OAK-based trips are current A320 LGB-based pilots who choose to bid for OAK trips on a monthly basis.

These trips represent a small percentage of LGB flying; they both originate and finish in OAK, in order to eliminate the need to commute to LGB for pilots living in the Bay area who are senior enough to hold these trips.

It is feasible that a LGB pilot may fly both LGB as well as OAK originating trips on a monthly basis, as no one is truly OAK-based.

OAK is the only "satellite base."

Just FYI guy

All new hires will go to E190...JFK,BOS,MCO. If one was hired today for them to hold A320 they are looking at 3 to 4 yrs...I think more like 5 but what do I know... as we have many E190 FO who are waitting for A320 class to open up so they can move over....Now things could change if we start taking more planes.

JetBlue quietly just deferred 6 more A320s in 2011.
