That is an excellent point. I have been at JetBlue for 13 years now. Our guys always talked about organic growth and how we don’t want to get into a messy merger or impact our “culture”. They also said they would never charge for bags and a first class product just isn’t JetBlue. I see no reason to doubt them do you?
