    No, it's not. It is by far my least favorite airline. I flew WN once, and I have refused to subject myself to that awful experience again. WN simply cannot compete with B6's product. Plus, WN's planes are ugly enough to make me want to vomit.

    But back to your original post, what possible reason would B6 have to fly to ISP? After all, they already fly to the airports that actually matter in the NYC-Long Island area.

    David Neeleman and crew should be on that plane :) N179JB (the 2nd one) left a little while after the unveiling of N183JB at JFK today.

    Now Now

    Guys,

    There's no real need for sniping at WN or ISP--just agree to disagree.

    Personally as one who flies about 150K miles a year, I will never set foot on a WN aircraft--for me a simple choice. I will not fly anyone who does not have advanced seat assignments--and I will NEVER wait in one of the cattle call lines. More of an issue for me however, is the lack of interline agreements. If US Airways messes up, they can put me on DL, CO, AA, etc. and they have on occasion. With WN or even B6 for that matter, it is not an option.

    That said, I am sure WN is good at what they do--and I am sure they meet the expectations of those who fly them.

    I flew B6 once and may again next week--I can't compare a $400 fare on US for a Dash 8 to ROC to $160 on B6 for a new Airbus--really a no brainer. My one experience with Jet Blue met my lowered expectations.

    I would like to see B6 or any of the majors make another attempt at ISP though--I believe US is keeping 6 buzz buckets a day to PHL-I have discussed other stations with their management like CLT, but who knows.

    My best to you all....
    It's the fares, stupid

    Now your talking Josh!

    I would love to see B6 have some shuttles from ISP like BOS and ACY! That drive through Staten Island is getting old fast.

    Joe would probably cry if WN got run out of ISP! :cry:
