JetBlue Swings To A Loss In Q3; Plans To Reduce Growth Rate By Cutting Fleet - Update
Tuesday, October 24, 2006; Posted: 11:47 AM


You were saying.

Go back and clean the cabin son.

put down your ALPA magazine and let me given you reality check regarding jetblue for the 4th quarter 2006, per James Parker Ph.D of Raymond James. (if you need more analyst info on jetblue, ill be happy to provide it)

• revenue and cost better than originally anticipated.
• jetblue now projects a 4Q passenger RASM increase of 22-24% y/y and ex-fuel CASM to increase just 3-5% y/y (down 2 points from prior guidance)
• removing seats to a 150 confiquration creates a net savings of 30 million over 5 years.
• based on these positive trends we are raising our 4Q and 2007 EPS estimates of $.12 and $0.50, respectively, up from $(0.01) and $ 0.45. our 2008 EPS estimate remains unchanged at $0.80.
• moreover, we reiterate our outperform rating and $16 target on JBLU.
• as momentum clearly is continuing to build for the company. JETBLUE in our view, is well on its way to double-digits margins.

all without being in bankruptcy. can you give me independent research outlook on delta (not what your CEO is selling to prevent a merger) so i can compare??

now, be a good DALPA B#tch, and spread those butt-cheeks for Grinstein.

jbucpt,

C'mon you work for crap wages and no retirement. Some big profit sharing checks too, huh? So you can say what you want about other carriers, but you know your "agreement" sucks. I know I worked there...

Now go clean that cabin....

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

He's working, are you?

 

[furloughed dude]

Why yes I am.. Thanks for asking though. I don't clean cabins either...

Wow, I guess the third time is the charm. I kept wondering what in the hey "butt-checks" were!

now thats really funny!! whats even funnier is i make more flying an a-320 than those flying the a-320 at the legacy ALPA carriers. whats the funniest of them all is; the jetblue e-190 pilots now make more or equal to what the ALPA boys do at USAIR. and the biggest laugh of all is we didnt pay 1.95%.

i dont know if you were asleep (dreaming about becoming an ALPA pilot again) and missed what happened to the "retirement plans" at the legacy carriers over the last 6 years, but i'll rely on my 401K, roth IRA, and investments before i trust ANY airline providing me with money at retirement.

 

[furloughed dude]

If you are proud of your pay you are definitely an idiot. The pay and benefits suck. I'm glad you won't trust an airline to provide for your retirement because that isn't gonna happen at Jetblue anyway. But at least you have dreams of profit sharing....

JBCpts opinion: worthless!

JB Pilots opinion: Judging from the crewrooms lately...ALPA is the majority winner so far. That is the current snapshot...it could change, but not likely?

Please understand that we recognize that jbucpt is an un-informed neophyte.

His opinions represent a minority of pilots at jetblue, and his crude attempts at discourse are an embarrassment to the profession.

If you're still legally making roth IRA contributions, then you don't make enough money to rub anything in anyone's face regarding compensation.
