I remember the apology, I appreciated it then, as I do now, and would like to think I d have had the same respect to do likewise we’re the roles reversed. In this case, I believe they are not. Lastly, no need for me to relax. I’m calmer than you are. Drinking my coffee.
You are right I did quote you. Again I was wrong that’s 2 I owe you.
I am obviously suffering from reading comprehension issues.(among other things )
Anyway my point about regional guys not wanting to come here was not specifically for you just a general statement because that would be what some on here would say.

But to your LGB thing in no way do I want it to suck for you guys.
BUT I do stand by my point of what jetblue is. It would be the same if I was at ALK and wanting them to grow jfk after the virgin merger.
I’m a big fan of know what you are getting into. I’m not trying to be harsh just realistic. To be very honest with you I would not be shocked in the slightest to see LGB shrink even more. We are playing with SWA out there and those flights are some of the lowest yielding. Add to that the issues with the airport and I bet jetblue moves some of the fleet elsewhere. That is just a guess. Due to miscalculations from the past with LAX vs LGB and our failure to merege with VA I think most focus will simply be east south and over the pond. But again just an opinion.
Trust me super senior guys are out in LGB so it does me no good to have them come out this way.
