Jet Blue

[private joker]

I was in the Hustler Casino at the time, and people were slowly gathering around the TV during the circling period. Being that it was local, everyone had major interest in this.

I found it pretty thrilling to watch, and it was a very welcoming and refreshing sound to hear hundreds of gamblers erupt in applause when the plane landed safely.

I've flown JetBlue 8 roundtrips SF<->NYC in the past few months. JetBlue is great.

Or are you flying out of Oakland?

I fly them all the time (good prices from LAS to JFK nonstop) and after seeing that I'm happy I do. Plane malfunctions, and the pilot still brings it in safely. I think it's a terrific ad for the company.

You can't always avoid mechanical malfunctions since there are uncontrollable variables. You can make sure that you have an excellent pilot, though.

The TV's were on until 10 minutes before the plane landed, when they were all shut off.

As for flying Jet Blue, this doesn't make me any less inclined to fly them. What makes me less inclined to fly them is that they really aren't the "low cost" carrier they used to be. Fares have steadily escalated the last 18 months or so.

You are aware that a very significant cost is substantially higher, right?

Gee really? Planes use fuel? Thanks for the friggin' tip.

My anecdotal experience is that JetBlue's fares began rising well before the recent spike in oil prices, and have risen by a higher magnitude than competitors. Whereas a search used to nearly always reveal JetBlue as the lowest (or very close to the lowest) fare for a given itinerary, I find this is now rarely the case.

But thanks for realizing what I was saying and not being a dick....oh, wait...it's OOT.

i would like to say yes, but it's hard to watch tv while cleaning freshly shiit bricks out of one's pants.
