Just proves you don't have to be smart to work at JB. Come on guys, think a little!!!
Amen to that! The "boys" at Blue wanted this change so they could do transcon turns and enhance their ability to pick up more time to offset their crappy pay rates.
Looks like they tried to backdoor the FAA to get the data.
Mama FAA doesn't like that.
The best part about the article is B6 passengers are finally waking up to the reality of you get what you pay for.
At Blue, you get to be an unwilling lab rat. Sort of like when B6 sold passenger personal data to advertising companies a couple years ago.
What a slimy outfit.
