    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

    Maybe they're taking the very scenic route to Spain. :)
