Jetblue Loses 42.4 Mil

[WatchYourElbows]

I predict at least 5 pages on this thread, mostly from guys who are going to be absolutely ecstatic about this news. Although, I should consider that it takes longer to type with one hand working the keyboard so it may take a long time to get to 5 pages.

You guessed it!!!! Who would have know there was this much hate thrown at anyone besides United. wow

Super.....that proves you may need help....good luck with that. Hated...what an amazing way to get through life (or could that be jealousy???)

Yeah, but most pilots are just about willing to sell their first born just for a job with them (LCC's)

Do you have any idea what LUV is hedging? Do you think that the hedges are in Jet A? Do you know that Jet A doesn't trade on the futures market? Do you understand the term 'futures market?'

Yes, No, Yes, Yes....whats the problem Andy?

I was reading a copy of the WSJ this morning with my morning coffee when I noticed Dave Neelemans statement about fuel prices

Neeleman said Jetblue can expect to pay $1.98 per gallon in 2006. This is also be verified in their 2/1/06 SEC8K filing

This is what UAL had to say.

On Jan 27, 2006 from UAL's 8K filing
The company expects mainline fuel price for the first quarter to average $1.92 per gallon, and for the full-year to average $1.81 per gallon (including taxes). Currently the company has no hedges in place for 2006.

Average mainline fuel price for the quarter (Q405) was $2.09 per gallon (including taxes).

This is the one I love
From UAL's 8K on Jan 17, 2006

United assumes a long-term crude oil price of $50 per barrel for 2006 to 2010, or an equivalent of jet fuel price of $1.48 per gallon (before hedging expenses). So

I wrote this on the UAL page to drive my point home to those guys. I post it here because. Neelman and Jetblue stock are taking a direct hit this week. When Nelman has been nothing but honest and offers a realict fuel cost expectation of $1.98 for 2006

Yet Tilton and the folks over at UAL seem to think that number will be 17 cents less at $1.81 and people are jumping up and down about how great UAUA stock will be and that now is the right time for UAL to exit ch11.

I would much rather have Neelman running my airline.

Your statement that hedges never expire indicates that your answers are incorrect.

Oh yes I forgot, Continental, FedEx, and UPS are hiring but I am not Mr. Military so FedEx is clearly out and I lack the 2000 PIC and 2 dozen recomendations that the other 2 would require anyway.

That's not all you lack...

A spine, a brain, and the desire to work hard and advance your career come to mind. The nerve of an DAY carpetbagger calling LCC's names. Put your kneepads on and get back under Tony Romeo's desk....

You apparently don't know me in the least. I would be the last person anyone would consider a company man. And the fact I don't kiss the asses of the company moles (certain captains ) out on the line to get ahead here proves it! This company is for 3 types of pilots...1. The old guys who wouldn't be hired anywhere else 2. Guys with marks on their records 3. people like myself just building time in order to get the heck out of here at the first possible moment.

See I admit this place is just a stepping stone. The LCC pilots defend their QOL, workrules, and compensation as if it were glorious. When it could be so much more if not for the fact that they see fit to work for half of what they could so people can pay bus fare to fly coast to coast.
