Jblue is the epicenter of finger pointing. It’s easy to do when there are a thousand middle managers and VP’s of nothing. Just throw something at the wall and hope it sticks. Cabin refresh? 165 seat A320’s? Sharklets? Carts? 5 minutes early for inflight? Boarding without pilots? It’s all led to a $310,000,000 loss in 2017 delays. That’s a stunning number. Heads should roll.

Anyone heard of planning software? Take a look at mid-day delays. Look at MCO BUF RDU. Clockwork. Not D0. Something else is at work. What is it? That’s where you figure it out and fix it. Take a look at the Cush 2 day trips on Jan 31st in the bid. Anything significant about Jan 31? Picketing in JFK. IF THEY CAN PLAN THAT THEN THEY CAN FIX SYSTEMATIC MID-DAY DLEAYS!!!!! Invest in a new software package. Spend big. $10mil. Save $310mil. Genius.

We’re moving into a new realm as an airline. The problem is we have no one who’s manning the helm. No direction. No goals. No timeline and goal gates. Just vacant rumors and the same nonsense that’s been rolling for years. Oh yeah, no CBA. I like the truthful and sobering comment that we just lost 3% Jan 1, 2018.

Yeah, but are other airlines buying WIDEBODIES and going to EUROPE and GROWING at a blistering 5%/year?

No new planning package required. We have the best aircraft and crew routing system out there and pay through the nose for it. It's a garbage in-garbage out situation. As long as aircraft are routed with 35-40 minute turns, front and back end crews are split, and they permit mid-day crew/aircraft swaps in the planning solution the delays will continue. We can have a 90% or better fleet launch but have half of the hulls behind schedule by noon because the delays continue to cascade throughout the system.

You can't jumpseat on another airline in jeans, and get defensive when someone gives you crap for breaking a policy. Some guys won't care, some will. Hell, I probably wouldn't say a word. But if someone does want to uphold the standard, that's on you, not him.

Don't apply. We don't want you.

Disregard. Unprofessional response.

I liked it- some guys here need to hear the hard truth from those outside the bubble.

Not uncalled for at all. I GUARANTEE he's a Pilot-Janitor. Even if he denies it.

It’s called for. As an outsider, it’s hard to understand.
