    We didn't need high speed tugs back when. The mx guy would just throttle up all 4 engines on the dc-8 and blast our way from the cargo area to (old) T1 :)

    haha that is true.. but fuel was also alot cheaper! we save alot of money running these tractors then burning the fuel on the engines and using there run up time!.. and dotn forget.. jetblue is all about return to profitability.. so anyway to save a buck... and not screw up like they did last night!
