jetBlue announced as part of its turn around plan some months ago it would slow expansion, delay delivery of new aircraft, and lastly sell some of its older aircraft. I'm not sure I agree that selling older aircraft is a good long term fix, it seems more of a short term fix.

Let's hope MR. ADHD keeps the airline on track. Eiutherway I think B6 is on its way to one day surpassing WN (wishful thinking)

More like delusional thinking!! LOL j/k I'm sure some said back in the 70s when WN was flying around with a few planes they might one day become the largest Carrier in the U.S, and some said "No way." Today they are, based on number of passengers boarded.

I think that the characteristics of "ADHD" are actually excellent tools for many people who aspire to be successful, and David Neeleman is a good example of it.

Was not intended as a knock on the bossman I was just sort of taken aback at the energy he has in person yesterday and all

But there is another white tailed plane in the B6 hangar. They just moved it in, off the tarmac, at around 11:15 am. Does anyone have any information on this third aircraft?

they are all going to Veuling as far as I know and the number is 5 being sold from what a few people have told me. It is weird to see such young birds going out of the fleet already.

With these leaving the fleet, have 320 deliveries been frozen (643 was the last one received?), or this airline now like a pigeon, with airplanes coming out as fast as they're going in?

I saw one today landing on 13L, I took a shot but you can't make out the reg. The aircraft had a white tail and the blue bottom.

The correct reg number on the AC you have seen flying around with the white tail is 526. Shoukd be here at JFK for another week or so. Currently it is a spare AC and sitting at PZ.

526 is still around for those trying to get a shot of her.
