Well, the music has stopped.

But, we still need JetBlue to succeed. We need the product to sell. The burn it down bull$hit sucks. I hope there’s a plan on the horizon to steer the ship. Is that a buyout or Europe on 4/11? I’m out of guesses.

I think "burn it down" and GAS meter at zero are two different things.

Reference Peter Gibbons in the movie"Office Space". If I work my arse off, what's in it for me?

I guess none of you were here for the pens we received in '04 or '05. The reigning VP of FLOPS at the time paid for pens with a catch phrase to encourage us to save money on fuel. Something like "2 million dollar challenge".

Unless I get another pen handed to me by a member of management Jetblue can kiss my rosy brown arse 'cause that APU will be cranking away in the heat or summer or the cold of winter.

I would never encourage burn it down either but in my tenure the only time management has ever taken notice is when a concerted effort to stop caring has occurred. There is a distinct difference.

If everyone would simply do their job and nothing else things would change at a much higher rate but jetblue pilots are jetblue pilots sooo...

You're just angry and immature according to Bozo and 360KIAS. This is the best job ever and management takes great care of us! And they pay us darn good to not even work.

How would you feel - and this is just hypothetical here Peter - about an incentive program?

Default Our First Neo

Our first neo, while not yet complete, was caught out of the hangar recently in Hamburg.

Does that have to do with the flex cabin? Gives you greater options for mint / core seating attangements ?
