Hmmm, new interiors, better ground equipment at outstations, a little less aircraft utilization so we can have a few more minutes to turn a plane and actually be on time? Or even paying people a market rate for the excellent work they do?

Buying back stock is short term gain for a few spun to be “good for everyone”. It’s like a pilot who sells back all their PTO. Quick boost to earnings, but maybe you should have invested in your long term health and ability to continue working by taking care of yourself. Instead the money will be gone soon and you’ll be calling in sick with no PTO to cover it.

I think we’re good at what we do. Invest that money in growing jetblue and then “everybody eats”.
