It follows the maturity and emotional intelligence levels of high schoolers.

💯👍 I guess some people wake up wondering, ‘What can I make up today?’ Maybe they think starting a rumor about JetBlue’s acquisition would be exciting. If you’re going to lie, at least make it convincing. Thank goodness we can finally put this thread to rest.

As far as I can tell, Jet Forward is a focus on basic operational management which they should have been doing the entire time. There's nothing novel about it, beyond the name. Yes, it seems to be helping some, but I'm still waiting for them to present a coherent "Plan B." There's is no vision, it's a stay afloat strategy with a sprinkle of wishful thinking until something external changes our circumstances.

Please define "Jet Forward" for us. What is it you think they're accomplishing out of the ordinary which would make an investor spend "much much more." I would love to know that it's something more, but I fear you're overly optimistic.

Basic operation focus, reshuffle to east coast leisure network, get rid of uneconomic planes (190s), enhance product (first class, lounges). This should hopefully get us to some stable profits and we get a good valuation in a merger.

I think merger/acquisition is the only play left. We have no fortress hubs that allows us to control pricing, and always turn out a profit from. We are always one Hurricane away from wiping out an entire qtrs profits, when it tracks practically through every base we have. We’ll never be able to get to the margins that the big 4-5 have. Everyone has caught up or surpassed our product as of late. Back in the day, wifi and TV’s were a hot commodity, now it’s the norm. With out any business contracts, cargo, wide body premium, etc. If oil spikes, or the economy dips, there is no way we make a profit. We have no pricing power. We have all this debt to service, we dished out millions for a failed merger. This is all way above my pay grade, but I just don’t see how this continues long term without a merger.

I was delayed this past week for over an hour on a flight for no reason, which in turn delayed the next flight. Airplane came in on time from the DR, needed to clear and get towed over from international. No weather, no "ATC issues". Just incompetence, and this stuff happens every single day.
