The rumor that JB doesn't pay for a/c
I wondered about this myself, but it was very easy to pull up JB's 10Q and 10K (quarterly report and annual report) and it includes the exact amounts paid by JB for aircraft leases, and it looked comparable to what we pay for ours . . . a good deal, but they are definitely paying for them- tens of millions per quarter.
Jeff G said:How many times have you heard that JetBlue doesn't pay for aircraft, for instance? It's everywhere. On the net, on the radio (I actually was challenged on clearance delivery once by another aircraft), in the terminal, from jumpseaters. It's difficult being a target of this kind of scorn. "Y'know, you're only making money because you don't pay for your planes." If I never hear that again, it'll be too soon.
