12 million bucks, 1Q 2009.

 

Finally some better news!

Hopefully we se some start ups, recalls, anything to get the system moving again, the stimulus has done little for pilots, and the other employee groups of this industry.

 

*Subsidized by the below industry standard pilot compensation package.

 

CRFguy,
Just shows how bitter you are. Instead of trying to be positive, you instantly go into attack mode.

Congrats to B6 pilots on the profit. Keep it up!!

 

I think he is positive that they have below industry standard pilot compensation.

 

Nice job for making a profit - hard to make money this last quarter.

 

Of course I'm bitter.

I see through the smoke and mirrors, unlike 66% of our pilots.

 

Congrats "to the pilots" for what??????

The pilots of B6 don't even earn industry average pay!

This profit is significant for the shareholders. Not the stakeholders!


If the day ever comes that B6 decide to INVEST in their pilots, perhaps you could congratulate them then!

Until that day comes, the pilots of B6 have very little to celebrate!

Apparently with new cash, they are not laying down to SWA.

JetBlue to launch Boston-to-Baltimore flights
Carrier will begin four daily routes to BWI on Sept. 9, starting at $39

NEW YORK - JetBlue Airways Corp. said Thursday it will launch four daily nonstop flights from Boston to Baltimore in June, following a similar move earlier this month by rival Southwest Airlines Co.

The Forest Hills, N.Y.-based carrier said Thursday it will begin four daily flights to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) on Sept. 9. It already runs six daily flights between Boston and Washington Dulles.

JetBlue said fares for the new route will start at $39. It has launched aggressive sales on various routes as competition from Southwest and Virgin America heats up.

Southwest plans to begin service at Boston's Logan Airport on Aug. 16 with 10 daily nonstop flights to Chicago and Baltimore.

Dallas-based Southwest said it would operate five flights to Baltimore starting at $49 each way.

JetBlue also said Thursday it plans to launch service from New York to Barbados, adding to a large number of flights from its home base at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to the Caribbean. Pending government approval, flights will start on Oct. 1. JetBlue will also begin service to Jamaica on May 21.

Earlier Thursday, JetBlue posted a first-quarter profit as it paid less for fuel and reined in other costs.

It was the first time the carrier made a profit in the first three months of the year — historically a weak period for airlines — since 2005.

But I thought that pilot pay has no effect on the bottom line...
