as for hyperbole vs. fact...this is a fact. we gave up the slots because we are incompetent as an airline on the west coast. this is not hyperbole. maybe you guys saying these things are not based in long beach and do not know or understand the level of sheer incompetence and farcical history of pathetic corporate decisions that has led jetblue to have such a poor presence on the west coast. those of us that live and work here know the history and the truth of the matter. there is not debating how poor a job jetblue has done on the west coast. i find it amazing that someone would either a) blame the long beach city council for our poor business performance here and/or b) say that these are not facts and is instead hyperbole. there really is no defending the company on this one, guys.
