Jetblue may sell more planes, reviews strategy again

[elag777]

Sounds like Jetblue is finally enjoying the hard-aches of the rest of the industry!! Cheap airplanes, free training from Airbus, reduced rate MX, sounds like the good times are over!!

wow! now there is a really well thought out prediction!

What's a "hard-ache"? Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Maybe it's that "priasis" (an erection lasting more than four hours) that they mention on the comercials for the viagra?

Could be the beginning of the end for JetBlue.

No, I think it's actually a new beginning for JetBlue. Time for a new biz plan. The old one worked while the legacies were in a slump, but now we have to take a new look at our plan a see what must be changed.

If our management just sat around and figured that "everything will be OK", then I'd have to agree with you, but that's not the case.

Right now we have 75% new management in a think box, looking at how to take our airline to the next level. The jury is still out on whether that group can do it.

Clearly we are starting to stagnate a little, but I don't think that will last very long.

No airline is out of the woods yet. US Airways stock has gone from the $60s to the $20s after showing huge profits.

Every airline is trying to find where they fit in the industry right, and JetBlue is no different.

Every day is the beginning of the end, if you start making wrong decisions.

So when does "The New JetBlue" campaign start?

So when does "The New JetBlue" campaign start?

The JetBlue 2.0 "Hey, let's make money" campaign.

Jet Blue's new mantra :

"We burn the furniture to heat the house".

My bet is within 5 years Neeleman Airways will be a thing of the past.

Neeleman has a fairly substantial track record of strolling away as the implosions and carnage are happening in the rearview. If it's not the case this time, it would be an exception to the rule.

Sorry. Duplicated post. Crappy hotel internet connection.

Continued articles like the one above, in addition to the recent MEH filings, AAI's interest in combining, UAL wanting a merger, etc....underscores the issue that there are WAY too many seats flying around at WAY too low a price.

We really need MASSIVE consolidation. A few of these folks really need to go away, or merge, or whatever it takes to get these seats OUT OF THE SKY.

As soon as that happens, fares go up, airlines make money, folks can more easily non-rev and commute to work, no sitting next to stinky slime-balls, and EVERYONE ONE IS MUCH HAPPIER...most importantly, THE INVESTOR!

It's only a matter of time....the sooner the better.

That's a great theory. In reality - when seats leave the sky fares do go up - for about five minutes. Then every moron with a little financial backing starts an LCC to help in "keeping the big, mean legacy airlines from ripping everyone off".

As long as the finance industry runs the airline industry (and it does), there is huge money to be made by passing out new airplanes like candy. Capacity reduction just isn't gonna happen, no matter how low fares are.

Morris Air sold to Southwest, started WestJet and grew while he was there and is Canada's second largest airline (I know, not many). I'd say he has a better record than most CEO's in this crazy business.

Really?

Westjet is doing well. June Morris had more to do with Morris air than DN.

Y'all are giving Neeleman WAY to much credit.

Please expound on your assertions....sir. Certainly you must have facts to back them up, right?

I'm a little unclear on what carnage & implosion you are talking about. Morris Air was bought by SWA and Herb made DN sign a five-year 'non-compete' clause as part of the deal. Maybe my definintion of 'carnage' is a little different than yours.

Educate us, please, and cite some specifics.
