Jetblue ranked #1

[MercuryPilot]

Immelman,

Thanks for the kind words. I'll offer one possible explanation for the extra a/c on the ramp on Sunday. Anyone who flew into NYC on Saturday was likely affected by the bad wx & extreme winds that caused delays and cancellations for most carriers. I know my commute on Comair was nearly 3 hours late getting in for this reason. What you probably saw on Sunday were a/c that had not been injected into the system yet due to crew legality issues, failed commutes, a/c diverts, etc. I launched on a simple Florida turn Sunday morning and was delayed an hour and a half waiting for a replacement F/A for one who got back too late from her previous pairing to make our trip. I believe what you saw at Terminal 6 was a unique situation for that day for some of the reasons mentioned above and is absolutely not the norm for JetBlue. Thanks again for the observations.

Hey thanks! That does make sense. Our flight was one of the few to make it out w/o a delay, so I suppose I took that for granted.

Well, it is sort of like apples to apples......

No, completely different. The #4 ranked airline operates 25% of its seats in Asia. Be number one flying 777, 747s, 767s, or your Airbuses around the globe and it'll be the same.

You can be #1 at flying the lunar lander to Ithaca, NY..

But if you can't make money doing it.... your days are numbered...

Almost all the airlines out there have been very cyclical...
Relying on the gravy days to get them through the lean times....

The dynamics are changing...

Some of the legacies are trying more than others...
Some are just waiting..

But don't blame the free market..

So, Jetbluers: How's that 8 in 24 exemption working!?


Why stop there! Let's make it a 12 in 24, now you're reaaaally productive!

Gotta love it....

Oh, for CHRIST'S SAKE!!!!
It's a TEST. Data is being gathered for analysis.
If it's not safer, we won't do it.
If it's not good for the pilot group, we won't do it.
If we distrust management's motives, we won't do it.

I have been told we will have a vote.

Duane's motivation here is to DIVERT attention!
Get the legacy guys (more) pissed at us and they won't notice ALPA isn't getting their pensions or concessions back...
(or his $476,000 salary).

I really enjoy your use of the three dots...
You got a bit of track...
Sometimes you use two dots instead of three dots..
work on it...

It's hard to comment on something you know nothing about. Let me ask you this, do you like A/C swaps, crew changes, multiple leg days, Back side of the clock flying, "4 hour productivity" sits, 16 hour duty days, day sleeps, stand up overnights, the rule "legal to start legal to finish" must I go on......
