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”.
The "leadership" only cares about buying another vacation home.

The long term health of the company or goodwill of the empolyees isn't on their radar. I know we all wish this weren't true but it is. Unfortunately short term bonuses drive corporate thinking these days. Our ELT is no different.
