and we didn't "lose" the slots. we voluntarily gave them up instead of actually, you know, using them and flying airplanes to other airports with paying customers on them. the thing that other airlines have no problem doing but that jetblue cannot for the life of them figure out how to do west of the Mississippi. or the Hudson, more specifically.

jetblue sees the most populous state in the country...the 5th largest economy in the world...as a place to fly "to" from the east coast. they cannot understand or figure out that there are lots of people out here that want to fly to other places. that this crazy "west coast" of the united states has people that fly "from" here. unbelievable.
