Pepsi
 

Well you can officially sounds the alarms. Ive always said the switch to Pepsi is the last straw before and airline goes bankrupt. This may not be the case for B6 but its a huge red flag. Theres tons of data to support this too.

That may be a little dramatic.

To make this kind of a change though we are talking about MILLIONS in cost savings.

Their spin that customers somehow want this though is complete hogwash.

It's scary that they need to do this... They are running out of things to cut and furniture to burn...

Next year they're switching to 7-11 brand soda... You know, because the customers have been "asking for this".

I’m sure there will be a lot of complaints from customers. Hopefully it gets reversed in not too long of a time.

Wait, you want to take the "Blue" OUT of the JB beverage experience?

Did this really deserve its own thread? Both products are poison and will kill you anyway.

So do IPA's.....but....some things aren't worth living without

Ill never forget my Fiscal professor saying when an airline switches to Pepsi all fiscal cuts have been exhausted. Look at the history. It doesn't bode well. It doesn't seem like much but its just as much physiological as it is finical. Just like how airlines, hotels, etc don't use 13. TWA did it right before bankruptcy in 86 i believe UAL did it 2002 after bankruptcy and it didn't work Branson and Virgin tried it and he admitted it was a failure. Northwest had Pepsi right before their merger. Alaska tried using Jones Soda and it was a failure. I may have wrote a case study about it. The findings were troubling. But what do I know Happy Jetting and Thanks for not Flying.....Jetblue.

Pepsi clogs the spray nozzles, dispersing the chemtrail inefficiently. :p

Merger! Merger! Merger!

Pepsi gives me the gas. Fact!

But then again so does breathing...

If we merge Jack and Pepsi's are on me!

Doubt it. Why would the acquiring airline want to un-ring that Bell???

Funny, Pepsi owns Taco Bell...

Yum brands owns Taco Bell. Now somebody go get me a Gordita!

Yup it’s all over :)

More likely that the airline "leadership" are desperately trying to make their EPS and margin promises... This may be an indication of how confident they are in making them...

Next, I expect an email telling us they replaced the crew-"services" and dispatch "super computers" with iPods. That's not a typo, I didn't mean iPads. iPods. But, blue iPods, so they work better.

But but it will help our PS oh wait......

Right. And crew"services" Bluemembers have been "asking" for iPods to do their job.

At least it’s not RC cola or Shasta.

And there’s one CA who buys Pepsi every day despite free cokes from catering. So at least one person is happy.

Next year it's changing to Super America Cola.

I'm just glad passengers will stop asking me when we're switching to Pepsi. Gets old.

Two liter bottles?

I didn’t know Coke was overwhelmingly favored over Pepsi until today. I was kind of always indifferent. I can’t even really tell the difference.

If you fly with me before/after you’ll notice a difference...

Toot! Toot!

Ha.


I do think the absolute cost cutting obsession is interesting. Gee if only they had the employees rowing in the same direction maybe it could work better :)

I do wonder if it was look you either get costs under control or we go with a new plan

Could be...

At this point, I think I choose plan B.

I’m not fighting to help them out. This place runs terrible. Our coo needs to go. She has run the operation further into the ground since she has arrived. It’s a tough pill to swallow but she has been an utter failure of the CHIEF OPERATIONS officer.

I hope we merge! You can have all the Coke you want.

Northwest had Pepsi long before the Bankruptcy and merger with Delta. At least as far back as the early 90s. Believe it or not some people like Pepsi over Coke.

Facts are not wanted here. More stories can be told with the emotional drama than with reality.

There's got to be a board member connection somewhere?

According to a.net “The former head of product development and onboard service left jetblue to go to pepsi. Maybe he had something to do with it”

No idea who that is or if there’s any truth to it, just some dude on the interwebs saying it.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was as simple as Pepsi is headquartered in Purchase,NY. Jetblue is New York’s “Hometown” Airline. We also don’t like Delta.....Delta is synonymous with Atlanta, just like Coca-Cola. :)

I’m just glad they are getting big water bottles! I mis those

Yes. Yes.

I heard from my good unreliable source that switching to Pepsi saves the company $.0002 per can.
( just moving the decimal point every so often)

Hey that would save a yyyyuge amount of money. Rough average of 25 bucks a day. Means we would save a ton! Makes profit sharing check yyyyuuuuggggeeeer

The Pepsi savings are a rounding error compared to the cost of my APU usage.

Wanna save money? Share the profits.

Amen to that. I start the apu every time and three engine taxi quite often.
