Mgmt has been doing a lot of good fixing the operation but in reality there is only so much you can do with the tools we have. If anyone has any ideas to solve the issue then I guarantee Joanna and Warren would be all ears.
As far as the DOT fine goes, this is ridiculous and feels targeted at JetBlue only. Are we the only airline that had chronic delays in the past year? I find that hard to believe.
No but New Yorkers are the biggest douches on the planet when it comes to complaining, I’m sure we’re up there in complaints to elected officials.
JetBlue wants to play the premium product game and be seen as a competitor to entrenched companies… well then prepare to be held to a higher standard. Stop making woe is ATC excuses and be on time.
