No spin needed. Good article.
We could either cancel flights while the E190's are fixed or we can stuff people into little E-145 Recession Jets wich is what all those great, unionized legacy airlines do on a daily basis.
Funny how people will consider this as subhuman if it has a JetBlue flight number but are willing to accept this treatment from anybody else, any given day.
Modifications will be done in April and this sorry RJ time will be soon forgotten.
Can't see how increasing the E-190s reliability can be seen as something negative by you JetBlue haters.

After the 190's get Cntrl-Alt-Del, what is to stop JB managment from retaining Expressjet and using it as leverage against the pilots ?????

Just curious.

Those are some harsh words about the E145 coming from another regional pilot. I call you that since that is what you guys are, flying those 190s for crap wages.

Complain to your union about the outsourcing of your flying. Oh wait you don't have one.

And don't want one either. JBPA - maybe. ALPA - never.

Your question shows the inherent mistrust of management which might be justified everywhere else but here at JetBlue.

We are more than embarrassed to have our product watered down by stuffing our customers in a RJ. This is temporary and paid for by Embraer.
Unless Embraer decides to pay for Express Jet forever I don’t see this lasting longer than April…

The E190 is not a RJ. If it is, then a Fokker 100 and DC-9-40 and B-737-100 is too. The E190 will outperform these aircraft in all performance aspects.
More legroom than any other coach seat othert han our own A320 cabin.Fly one one day and learn. If you don't like ours try US Air - they have a flock coming their way. No Live TV and XM Radio , but Unionized crews which will make you the PAX so much more comfortable.

Do not forget the 717 is in the 100 seat group but do not know if it will be out preformed by the -190.

I agree about the leg room...6'4" and was very comfortable. My second leg was on an AA 757 ORD-STL and I could not fit and could not sleep.

XM and DirecTV was great and that has nothing to do with any union.
