He reminds me of friends I have at Delta, always asking when I'm going to make the move to come over. No thanks, my pride doesn't revolve around telling people I fly for AA/United/Delta.....
So here's to becoming B6 soon it looks like after receiving that letter from Frankie today!!

I do believe the ULCC model of doing business has been exaggerated greatly, with respect to how big the market is and how much traditional airlines should fear it. I'm sorry if those beliefs offend you.
On the other hand, you would have to not be able to read/speak and understand the English language to have missed all the "JB will be extinct/bankrupt/out of business" because of the ULCC model comments made by ULCC pilots the last few months. I didn't see you taming any of your own...
Popeye, if this goes the way it looks like it's gonna go, you guys have my full respect and are all welcome here.

When I attended an interview with Alaska, all they kept saying is that they were going to "win the west"....that was 6 years ago. I know now I should have taken the B6 job when I interviewed in 07🤬😂😂😂

It's too soon to say for sure, but they at least seem to be playing to win right now.

Not from JetBlue or Robin’s mouth, but JP Morgan said Jetblue “would” be willing to trade the NEA for Spirit. Sounds more like an educated guess.

Who has the planes to actually fly the domestic part of the NE alliance these days? Who's getting the most efficient planes (321LR/XLR) to fly across the pond?

Here's a hint: you won't be able to find anywhere where he said that, because he didn't.
