Speaking of jetBlew, I occasionally peruse their L&G thread and can't help but notice the constant belly aching about being the lowest paid "Major" airline. Apparently our $1.39B in revenue doesn't cross the $1.0B threshold to be considered a major. Also, I understand that they are still the only airline in North America to fly sharklet 320's, and the oldest "stand-alone" airline since deregulation. I only bring this up to predict that we may finally be considered a jetBlew peer in August, when our highest hourly rate passes theirs.

One other interesting tidbit, as of the close Friday, market cap:
SAVE : $2.37B
JBLew: $1.74B

Thank you, that was therapeutic.

Yeah, that was the point. We have two, one was flying 10 days after B6 took the first one. They are not the oldest "stand alone" (ie never been merged / sold) airline since dereg either, despite what they or their company like to put out.

It's a pretty funny pic.

Love that pic of the A321 though, very sexy looking airplane. And, that's from someone who flew the Sexiest of All Planes: the Mighty C-130J!
