i have not heard any good things about jet blue,nor spirit airlines for that matter..those came into being because of passengers wanting cheaper fares..however,they have not managed to maintain a great reputation for customer service..americah has struggled to keep its reputation and build it up since the merger,so im not sure an agreement with jet blue is so great,especially in todays environment where everyone is already tense and expecting to be treated extremely" one on one"well by airlijne employees!

bentwing..respectfuly sir...i m not sure what the point is you are making,other than to show your political leanings! i met a gentleman a few years afterward, who lost both his wife and two young daughters on that flight..he was not open to discuss the incident as you can imagine,but he had already been interviewed excessively regarding his loss and what he thought..you are free to think whatever you like,whether you believer the "missle theory", or the one put out by the investigators regarding the fuel tank explosion,and although the "total reconstruction of the aircraft from pieces is to be destroyed,rest assured there will be pieces kept intact for further study and historical purposes..

from reading the stoy,it seems as though the man,a delta employee,was working on this idea on company time and did openly and willingly share the idea with delta,his employer..there are clauses in employee related paperwork that you sign for any position, that deal not only with percs and healthcare, but with ideas and what you can or cannot do..i think huis suit will be heard and dismissed..

mr branson is a billionaire,yes..he is also charismatic,a giving person who actually does contribute his time,money and resources to causes other than himself,and were i to have a "favorite" billionaire,(i personally dont know any)he would be the one..give the man his due..of course he had a great time and of course he deserved the first ride..the company he founded,virgin,has worked on this project for years..no..he did not go "into space" as have the nasa astronauts,but he came very close!!

the "polaris lounges" in the airports seem to be vey luxuroius..the inside of the aircraft "polaris first" class" cabin however,at least to me,seems less "relaxing,and more like a "mini office".i am guessing that is the plan..i suppose companies wishing to lure their employees back might offer this as an amenity..

the videos of the actual aircraft leaving the "mother ship" were fantastic..mr branson is very wealthy,yes,but he also gives a lot and works for causes other than his own self aggrandizement and monetary gain..this is only the beginning,and if i had to say i have a "favorite" billioniare (i do not know any!)i would say its mr branson as despite his wealth,he does have some humility and seems like a truly "nice" guy!

i think we all understand teenagers wanting to "party",especially after they had just graduated from high school..the question is however,did their parents and the chaperone not advise them that rules are there for a reason, and the mask wearing was required to fly,and they should follow the rules so they actually could have a good time?

respectfully adxbear...airlines are a BUSINESS just like other businesses run by people..those in charge are not "soothsayers" who can predict that a pandemic will come and travel will be stopped or curtailed..the airlines were grateful and happy when there was funding allocated for them to keep from furloughing or laying off employees..they did however, as airlines have always done when times are tough,offer early retirement and buyouts to employees,including the pilot group..weather delays and the present shortage of employees ,as well as not having all of their aircraft back in service,have affected all the carriers,specifically southwest and american who also have had computer issues..if your preference is to drive,then by all means do so..by the way,frontline airline employees do take a lot of "flack" from people they do not deserve,and the covid issue has made it worse..courtesy is a two way street..
