B6 strikes again!
 

Can't wait to hear Gman spin this one:

Ouch
 

..........that is going to leave a mark!

Thinking about picking up some of that. I'm glad to see the JB folks were pay protected.

What type of spin do you expect? It is what it is... The Embraer 190 has some problems that are being addressed aggressively. Do I like like the fact that were doing this? Absolutely not... The only reason I don't like it, is because we are going to be providing an inferior product to our customers. No offense to Express Jet, but I flew the E-145 in a past life and I still commute on it regularly. I can honestly say it's the most uncomfortable aircraft I have had the pleasure to ride on. The good news is that Embraer is picking up the tab, and we are not going to be cancelling flights to fix these problems with the E190. Thanks for being so concerned.:rolleyes:

Av8tor, the story also talks about in April jetBlue delayed the delivery of 44 aircraft for four years.

I am guessing this was April of '06?
What kind of growth is jetBlue looking to have or has the growth stopped?

I believe this year we are taking delivery of 20 aircraft. 10 of each kind. I think this is scheduled to continue for the foreseeable future. About 14-16% growth.

As the green man always says you guys need a union and a scope clause.

I just love that pink tank top!

Just curious, what kind of software problems does it have? Why does it have problems that say a 170 doesn't?

It's funny that everyone yaps about how Jblu needs scope when they're the only major that's flying the big Emb's with their own pilots.
