lowecur said:Neeleman said he is confident the airline can eventually boost its margin because oil prices will either decline or will rise so much that JetBlue's loss-plagued rivals like Delta Air Lines Inc. will be driven out of business.
"The 190's going to change things," he said. "It's going to change the rules of the game a lot."
So is Neeleman also confident that the stock market will either decline or rise?? That also has nothing to do with JetBlue's margins.
JetBlue Boosting margins will not be due to oil but the health of their competitors.
The only reason the 190 will change things is because, right now, the other carriers are unwilling to pose a challenge. It is a brilliant idea to offer starving pilots a chance at a job where they can eventually be an A-320 Captain making 130K a year. The promise is a fairly quick upgrade for low wages today. Very slick.
If someone else manages to get into the 100 seat fight the future will be different than Neeleman sees it. Right now I'm betting on Neeleman moderate success, but I don't count others out. Neeleman may get blind sided in a few years.
