A seat on a plane which is only 20% booked a month out is a different product from the last available seat the day before a flight. Regardless of weather.

Nope, Jetblue capped fares, then the other airlines were forced to respond. Now Jetblue looks like the good guy, while the others get bad press. Doesn't matter if the story is true or not to the public.

You are incorrect. Abridged version: "There was never scientific consensus that the Earth was cooling. That is a myth."

I'm going to try and steer this thread away from political and global warming debate... I can't believe it, but here's a positive article written about an airline! In the USA Today, also.

What a lot of these towns are forgetting is the log tail to support these things. The MRAP may be pretty but now you have to train people to maintain it and then source spare parts. Probably not worth the effort.

On second thought, with the number of meth labs in middle America maybe we should be giving them M-1s

Meth isn't a big thing anymore, It's heroin. Most, these junkies all end up od'ing so it works itself out.
