Jetblue fined $2M for being late
Maybe this will spur them to get some accountability in the operation.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/03/t...ast-coast.html Mgmt has been doing a lot of good fixing the operation but in reality there is only so much you can do with the tools we have. If anyone has any ideas to solve the issue then I guarantee Joanna and Warren would be all ears. As far as the DOT fine goes, this is ridiculous and feels targeted at JetBlue only. Are we the only airline that had chronic delays in the past year? I find that hard to believe. |

It is no doubt that JB has had operational issues throughout our history, but you’ve got to place some blame on ATC as well. Imagine a world where NYC airspace never had any EDCTs. We’d run a far far more on-time operation than we do today.

Between June 2022 and November 2023, the flights were chronically delayed five months in a row. More than 70 percent of the disruptions for these flights were caused by the airline, according to estimates from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. https://www.bts.gov/topics/chronically-delayed-flights |
I didn't even know they could fine an airline for being late...
That seems like a market forces, product differentiation competitive factor, not a regulatory issue. If people keep buying tickets, why does the government care? |

JetBlue wants to play the premium product game and be seen as a competitor to entrenched companies… well then prepare to be held to a higher standard. Stop making woe is ATC excuses and be on time. |
The plane is late out of SDQ because the turn times are too short, but yeah, it's definitely an ATC delay.
