Ain’t that the truth…

Guess the F9 investors don’t have quite the same enthusiasm about a transaction as the JB shareholders.

So if that is the case JetBlue still has to deal with the anti-trust trial in September over their Northeast Alliance with American. Any idea how long a trial like that would last? I googled it and saw that sometimes these things go on for years. Also, with Spirit opening bases in Houston, Atlanta, and Miami, would it be a fair assessment that they are covering their bases in case the merger with either JetBlue and Frontier falls apart? This is all out of my area of expertise and just guesses on my part though.

Sorry but if the company truly wants better reporting on delays, hire people to do just that. Have supervisors who ensure flights go out on time and report why when they aren’t, instead of stacking the pressure on one contract gate agent to do it.

I’m sorry but it’s getting tiresome with the continued crap that gets tossed on us because they literally won’t hire the people to run an airline.

Repeat after me…

“We need rampers at (insert gate)”
“Waiting on a jet bridge driver”
“Waiting on paperwork”
“Disconnect the air, it’s hot”
“Any idea when the gate will be open?”

Day after day, year after year, we keep saying those same phrases and now we are told if we only make detailed delay reports, it will help fix it. Haha. Sure

Sorry Teddy, when you’re done playing Monopoly Millions, you have an airline to run. Until then, call me Capt Bare Minimum
Oh, I agree 100%. (I'm the guy who said "I'll provide details.") But if they want detailed delay reports, I'll happily give them and I won't hold back on the myriad of reasons.

Half the time the gate has already just blamed the FA's.

Ummm what? -15% vs -45% since each airlines initial announcement. Place antonyms for Enthusiasm here.

Jetblue guy here. Reading this post, I’m starting to think we’d be a perfect match. Good luck and clear skies to you guys, whichever way it goes…
