"Systems operation looked at the manifest and said `Well, gee, look at all these connecting flights to Orlando. Let's just over-fly New York,'" said Tim Luceno, a spokesman for JetBlue. "It was almost like the JetBlue bus to Florida."

I wonder if the airline's spokesman really meant to compare his company's service to riding on a bus.
 
So everyone on that plane was going to Orlando? I doubt it.

From another local newspaper I read (it was big news here in Vermont) there were something like 150 booked on the flight. Of those, 120 or so were going to Florida (if you've ever been to Vermont at this time of the year you'll know why :) ).

JetBlue dropped most of those in Orlando and flew the rest on to Fort Lauderdale. Sure there were 20 or 30 passengers who were unable to get to New York on the flight, but considering the only other option was cancellation, I give JB credit for showing some initiative.[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
