Not at all. But, when management tells passengers "try again next week, as a standby" rather than run an extra section from MCO, it looks bad for our industry and has the potential to get some over eager regulators thinking about a new rule to prevent such abuse.

I figure "caveat emptor." Enjoy industry best the Live TV product & avoid outsourced RJ's, but know, if the stuff hits the fan, options are limited.

It is my personal opinion that the market response to Alaska Airlines is in part due to their alliances with Middle Eastern carriers. It is likely that Jet Blue will find itself in the crosshairs of Continental, American and to a lesser extent Delta ... not that they are really after Jet Blue, but rather as a respose to the threat posed by the revenue ravinous operations coming from the Middle East.

The hits just keep coming for my carrier as well. Last night the fuel valves through which flow the jet a for the Atlanta Airport froze shut somewhere under the ramp. World's busiest hub with nothing but a couple of trucks ... ugh oh.
