Re: Re: JB a Major?
Congratulations Jeff. It still seems a little silly to call an airline with only 50 airplanes a major. But those are the rules. Hopefully Fresh Air (or whatever the hell they are going to call the new Delta LCC) will cut into some of your market share.
Interesting times are ahead.
Take care Jeff.

Jeff G said:Last quarter, JBLU brought in $165.261M in revenue, with an average of 28.4 aircraft. That comes out to $5.819M per aircraft for the quarter. Let's be conservative and say that in the future each aircraft will only bring in $5M per quarter, or $20M a year.
JetBlue will have 50 aircraft by the end of next year, a little more than 12 months off. 50 x $20M = $1000M in revenue = major airline status.
That's in a little more than a year. "Along way to go" indeed. JetBlue will achieve major airline status sometime in 2004, at the latest.
