I'm sure he's gonna make some cash outta Jet Blue coming to Memphis. But this is good news for folks trying to go see Elvis and get to work.

A huge burst of optimism is coming out of Memphis International Airport...

"JetBlue is a great airline. Much like Southwest, they are customer focused," Jack Sammons said. "I expect they will come at some point."

Jack Sammons...said they were "profoundly interested" in coming to Memphis.

Southwest Airlines in Memphis..."They're overwhelmed by their success here," said Sammons. "I suspect at some point they may very well be our largest carrier in this market."

Only half-joking, after the word from on-high about someone (more likely multiple guys) gooning up the DH vs JS deal.
