General Lee said:Here we go again, the expert RJ pilot who knows everything about Song. We don't have the room(gates) at EWR, we can't expand there.
Delta Express had 15 daily flights from EWR at its peak, but somehow Song couldn't expand when it was only operating 2 flights to MCO. If DL management wanted to expand Song service at EWR, the gate space is there. They chose not to because Song couldn't compete at EWR.
Can you really say Jetblue is profitable? How about they don't lose as much as the others, including us? That's better.
The last press release I read said JetBlue had 17 consecutive quarters of profitability including the 1st quarter of 2005. So yes, I can really say that JetBlue is profitable. I can't say the same about Song, because DL management won't publish any Song numbers. What are they hiding?
I said in my last post that I THINK Song is doing well by my own accounts, and that Grinstein said he uses Song as a tool against Jetblue. He said that, and he knows a lot more than you or I about what is going on.
Bye Bye--General Lee
Grinstein says a lot of stuff. He also told you that he doesn't like RJ's on long flights (remember that?), but guess what? DL keeps putting RJ's on long flights. Earlier this month, Comair started flying SAT-MCO...1,036 miles.
Since you are so fond of Grinstein quotes, here's another one for you:
"However, as (Delta chief executive officer Gerald) Grinstein paraphrased Vince Lombardi in a recent interview - 'sometimes the clock just runs out.'"
