Don't. FYI Our complete operation is in chaos. Makes 07 look like child's play. Just want to make sure you guys use another option before blowing a day trying to get to work on us.

117 implementation not going well, or is it just leftover from JFK mess?

Gee, when you run the company on Marister math with 29 minute turns, crew members cleaning, new policies that "help" turn the plane quicker that doesn't work on clear days, why in the world would anybody think things would go well on bad days.

The people running Jetblue should be embarrassed, but when they are already going down the road of the scapegoat of "117 and winterstorm" ( that way you don't have to compensate passengers) when we all know the real reason is lack of crews and a company/ crew scheduling that can't place the remaining crews properly.

This will be Dave's reason to leave, but would wish Rob to go first.

( p.s. Benz on another thread indicated this would be the reason for NO profit sharing...exactly right)

Appears to be the real deal, JetBlue website shows almost no flights in the entire system that I can find after around 1:30 pm.

What exactly is going on? The Hercules storm is gone so why the problems now? Aren't there reserves to cover whatever issues that result from 117 flight time limits that regular line pilots experience?
