    JetBlue May Move Corporate HQ Out of NY

    The lease on JetBlue's Forest Hills headquarters expires in 2012, and the company is looking to consolidate operations in three area offices to one location. They've yet to rule out any options, including moving employees to their Connecticut or Long Island offices, moving to a place like Orlando, where they have significant operations already, or staying in their current location. There are no plans to move their hub away from JFK, so I doubt they'd move too far away.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Well they are moving most IT functions to Orlando and overseas so anything is possible. They don't have to have their HQ in NY even with JFK as their main hub. AirTran's HQ is in Orlando and their hub is ATL so its certainly possible. I'm sure their stoking the fire to hint that "hey we want some tax breaks."
