I figure "caveat emptor." Enjoy industry best the Live TV product & avoid outsourced RJ's, but know, if the stuff hits the fan, options are limited.

It is my personal opinion that the market response to Alaska Airlines is in part due to their alliances with Middle Eastern carriers. It is likely that Jet Blue will find itself in the crosshairs of Continental, American and to a lesser extent Delta ... not that they are really after Jet Blue, but rather as a respose to the threat posed by the revenue ravinous operations coming from the Middle East.

The hits just keep coming for my carrier as well. Last night the fuel valves through which flow the jet a for the Atlanta Airport froze shut somewhere under the ramp. World's busiest hub with nothing but a couple of trucks ... ugh oh.

First off, I don't work for jetBlew, I'm a fully "professional", ALPAtized pilot.
Second, regarding garbage men, I refer you back to Reductio ad absurdum.
Third, (and I'll type really slow so you can keep up) It's YOUR assertion that union affiliation is what makes the professional - I disagree.
