I think you are counting the E90 future deliveries, which probably won't happen. If they do, most likely they will replace older E90s. I doubt they grow the E90 fleet count from where it is now. But it is possible of course.
IMO, I don't think we will get the 190's. My prediction of 5500 pilot is with adding Long Range aircraft with addition crew members, i.e. 3 per leg. Ok maybe 5500 is a wet dream, but staffing for 30 LR planes with 600 pilots isn't too far fetched. JB is in sink or swim mode, they are motivated and the time is right.
I'll buy the next round, cheers!

Give me some examples? Read between what lines? What statements?

Stuff you hear? Now that's funny sh!t blue juicer.

I have a feeling you won't have any examples of "statements"... Standing by for more useless words.

Sounds good. Glad you added "color" to your statements. Don't ask Bunker for anything to back his proclamations or that of his management plant buddy relax roll, he gets real defensive.

Lol....I don't owe you any more specifics than what I've written in posts on this message board. I've posted things that are my opinion. I've posted things I've heard from people on the flight deck. I've posted things from people in positions that I know would know what they're talking about.

Again, if you can't figure out the difference, I'm not going to waste my time holding your hand to make sure you get the info you think you're entitled to.

Stupid people get angry, and emotional when they can't keep up. I get it. Not your fault.

"Come to jetBlue," they said, "everybody is super cool to each other," they said.

For what it's worth, thanks to some crew room shenanigans performed by a CA, who is to remain nameless, I had an opportunity to fly the last leg of a trip with Paul Hocking a few weeks back. I asked him about the the San Jose rumor, and he said that that was one of 5 that the board, or whomever makes such decisions, was choosing from. Also among the 5 are SAN, LAS, SFO and LAX. Or as I promised him I would word this "SAN is a sure thing in 2017!" In truth, he said "they are all bad options, SAN is probably not the best bad option."

He gave me no reason to believe that there was any NDA issues with this information.

Why does he think they are all bad options, if you know?

Ha, you've said MORE than enough. Rather not have to hear more of your flight deck blue juice rumors any more.

I really don't care what you'd rather hear or not hear. I'll post what and when I please. Not my fault you can't deduce where and what the information comes from.

Your over infatuation with specifics and details of where information comes from is pretty ridiculous. No one owes you f.uck-all when it comes to telling you the source of the information.

You don't run this message board, and certainly aren't owed answers to your anal questions. No matter how much you pout and act like a 8 year old when you don't get them.

Grow up, dude. I'm done responding to you. I already have 4 pre-teens I have to deal with at home on a daily basis. I don't need to deal with another.

You are lashing out because you have been exposed as having your sources be flight deck gossip and opinion.

You should be embarrassed, I get it.

Our latest new SCP thinks that the east coast is where the money is at and their is no money on the west coast.

Name a single West Coast focused Major Airline that folded.

Then make a list of all the East Coast focused Major Airlines that folded.

Or lastest newest SCP will prove to be the worse and will say and do anything for the fatherblue.

There is no NDA because these rumors are false hope not plans or material changes. Jetblue does not leak material changes they leak hope or false rumors. Been that way since day 1.
