Let's hope our politicians get an energy program going quickly. This will be a small window to take advantage of a bridge to energy change until new technologies can be brought online economically. Pickens program definitely has merit, and I like the fact that $$$ will be going to American Companies in lieu of foreign.

Agree completely, that should be priority number 1!!

WHO THE F ARE YOU PEOPLE? You immediately discount their intellect because of a TYPO? Huh? Never make mistakes, huh? Never type a post quickly on your phone? Or late at night? Drunk? Or at least tipsy? You are a constant beacon of all that is right and just -- a shining example of military precision and both spelling and gramatical excellence?

Okay, so this thread is about JB. I think. But the arrogance is hilarious (and typical of pilots). Get the thread back on track you "loosers".

A typo is one thing--that's an accident. "Loose" instead of "lose" comes from someone who never learned how to spell. You can call it carelessness or drunkenness, I'll just call it stupid. I guess I sound harsh, but don't you have any pet peaves that just piss you off? This is one of mine. Sorry for the thread hijack, but I didn't start it.

Uh, that's peeves.

It's ok, not need to apoligize [sic]. By the way, my peeve is listening to the guard nazis "protect" 121.5 with their snarling, "you're on guard!"

Gotcha!

Touche!

Was wollen wir trinken?
Sieben tage lang.
Was wollen wir trinken?
So ein Durst.

Wir haben kein Bier
Und haben kein Wein.
Was wollen wir trinken?
Hau doch Rein......

Oh, and it's "Shiite", not "$hite".

Machen Sie abbaut Bier! Machen Sie abbaut Bier! Und Sie dürfen ein paar haben!

Get outta here, dude, I already got him...

I'm the spelling nazi around hier!

BTW, I think those ascots are there to catch the jismatic overflow, and shouldn't be ridiculed.

We have quite a few MALE-(disco dancing friends of Dorothy) FA's, not sure why or how you know this.
Personal experience??

In a web board environment, there isn't much to judge a man on. There is the content, and there is the manner in which it is presented. When I see a blatant misspelling such as "JetBlue looses 7.0m," I immediately discount the intellect of the poster, and I don't think that I am alone. I don't see the harm in a little public shame--maybe it will help educate those that were cutting class when they went over basic spelling and grammar.

If you guys are this anal about spelling, how long does it take you to pack your overnight bag? Make sure the socks are lined up with the logos on the same side.

Jetblue's actual cash right now is close to $675M, since on 7/15/08 they needed to buy back some old convertibles that were due. The recent convertible offering was just a wash on that. They have another round of about $175M due to be bought back the remainder of the yr if I am reading things correctly, and you may see more convertibles offered to pay those off if cash flow is not sufficient. Lufthansa may step to the plate if the marketplace is not receptive, although I doubt that would be necessary.

They are obviously not getting any viable offers on Live TV. Whether they choose to sell it at a discount or be forced to do so depends on oil and economy the rest of the year. It will be hard for them to shrink themselves to profitability because they are so highly leveraged and need cash flow, so you will probably see a first class offering and the beginning of charges for Live TV. They could put the new terminal up for sale either partially or in full, although I doubt that's in the cards. More 320 sales will occur in 2009 but it's just a matter of whether it's 3 or up to 20. They've already said layoffs are in the cards, but exactly how many will depend on projections for a/c sales into 2009.

Oil cost reductions will benefit all as it will keep all legacy boats afloat and allow the orderly reduction of capacity. The downside is a slow death for some. Jetblue's fortunes will be hinged on the price of oil, management making the right moves, and a loyal workforce. Hopefully the stars will be in line by the end of 2009.
