You know the guy that will gladly part us out to the big four and Alaska at a percentage of 24,24,24,24 and 4 if needed to allow for us all to be sent to the streets? How about we talk about the Earhardt pad and how tight it is over there or whether or not you’d trust the Sushi in T5 any more than you would from Wal-Mart? These are all examples of things in our Lane. While I agree with you that oversight is needed at Boeing or Airbus how about oversight of DeIce procedures in BOS? Not just for the incident but for the product provided. This P&W thing is big enough that we’re not growing. Our 10 year cycle is now complete. Settle in for the long and painful next I’ll guess 3-5 because they’ll not be nearly as fun. Unless of course in my opinion we get an over turn of the decision in Jun, but then can they close before Jul 24? I guess we’ll see. Oh and as for CBA 2? That’s also kicked Far outside of the uprights now. I hope you’re correct about an order, but frankly I’ll be surprised if it is us.
I have had two de-ice occurrences that were so unreal, they would sound made up. You will get no argument from me on running a tight de-ice ship.
Are you saying your opinion is that the merger decision will be reversed? Or did I read your opinion incorrectly?
I agree, Pratt and it's suppliers have made a mess of JetBlue's growth plans. And I have no illusions about our new "investor" or our CBA prospects in the short term.
As for the order, I still think it is highly likely it was placed by JB, likely contingent on the NK outcome, and was part of a package deal that included revising the delivery schedule for our previous order book. I never claimed to be 100% positive, but I remain fairly convinced. I also reserve the right to be wrong on this one. And will admit I was if another airline claims the order. Until then, we wait. I was wrong that one time before...
