Do you have a source? I know that they were originally sharing the space with other carriers, but this is news to me. I am not sure if it is just one gate but I know there was some information in the past that Lufthansa will be the primary airline. I forget where I saw that. T6 will have 10 gates w...
Jump to postORH was said to be doing well in a pocket session. And they are adding more flying to PVD. ORH isn’t going anywhere thanks to the Massport connection. And as stated, the fall schedules give PVD a nice boost. I’ve always thought that B6 made a misstep of not expanding at PVD during the 2010s when WN...
Jump to postThe reason why ILS4 at LGA must be handflown is because there are two roads that pass right by the runway, Runway Drive and Grand Central Parkway. When vehicles pass especially trucks, you get fluctuations in the ILS indications. When handflown, it is easy to continue flying on a steady course and ...
Jump to postI feel B6 needs to return to its roots and its original core structure that made the airline wants was under Dave. Operating secondary markets to places like JFK, BOS, MCO and FLL really put B6 on the map. They were unique and different and gave those of us in the suburbs a really wonderful experie...
Jump to postPsyops going on here, and lots of fish on your line. JetBlue’s OPSPECs date back to 1998, and they don’t mention Live TV. OPSPECs are a living document, boilerplate, but they can have sections added, or subtracted as the need arises. Spirit’s OPSPECs would have had no bearing on the operation under...
Jump to postThe PDEW for BOS/TLH isn't that impressive; Q3 2023 generated only 52 (or 26 one way). NYC/TLH PDEW is a bit better, but not that great; Q3 2023 generated 85 (or 42 one way). If anything, I could see B6 adding New York from TLH, but it'd have to be with E190's and into LGA instead of JFK. The e90 i...
Jump to postWhile archaic language, “the end is nigh” is just as correct as “the end is near.” More to the point, what is the basis for this 15% maximum shareholding?

Jump to postB6 launched TLH at the start of the year with 1x daily FLL-TLH. Anyone know how the route is doing overall and if there's any potential at adding more service to either FLL or JFK or BOS? I don’t think JFK or BOS have been considered to any extent. However, this is a very pivotal time for B6 so any...
Jump to postThe A220/A320 don’t have the range, and the market probably isn’t big enough to support an a321neo. It’s easier to funnel people through FLL, JFK, or MCO.

Jump to postYou’re assuming there will be an investigation. All I see is a navigational error and a FR24 reading; which are not always accurate. It was close enough for the tower to call the go around. I bet they will want answers. Maybe. The controller will file a report, the pilots will file an asap, and all...
Jump to postTo ‘pull the CVR’ you have to remember it’s protected by US Code. Accident investigation only. So the NTSB would need to open an investigation. Is this a NTSB reportable event? Per the regs probably not. But neither was the United Maui event and they picked that up. So we’ll have to wait and see if...
Jump to postRunway 4 is a non coupled approach, they probably got a bit behind the jet hand flying in that crappy weather and executed a go around.

Those were all very competitive LAX markets it's exiting.
The E90s will be reduced to a small subfleet isolated almost entirely to BOS by years end and will be completely gone 14 month later from now.
Jump to postI’m not sure that name will work well. Seems like it’d be a headache of an airline, with cramped seats and irritable employees. The red paint scheme also might not work with the Florida heat.

The threat model that requires that the Pilots are covered the same as passengers is not about the pilots performing the bad actions, as noted they'd be perfectly capable of doing all sorts, it's about them being coerced into (or even willingly) taking goods through security to pass to someone else...

A good chunk of customers is already agitated no matter what, but will somewhat relax in their seats and don't affect safety of flight until they are...
Jump to postMaybe it's the way you're saying it, but everything you do say on this issue just reeks of privileged exceptionalism. So being subjected to the same level of scrutiny as the self-loading cargo is enough to make you feel sufficiently " riled up " that it's a " menace to flight safety ...
Jump to postLet's be clear on something here.... The pilot blew a .04 which is coincidentally the legal blood limit for flying in the US. That's not *drunk*. The legal limit to drive in most states of the US is double that at .08. The guy probably had a fun night out before enjoying Edinburgh and hadn't quite ...
Jump to postWhy is the US limits relevant in Edinburgh?. Because the flight is under US certificate and jurisdiction I'm also surprised about this idea that flight crew should have different rules. That's nonsense. Of course they should be subjected to the same rules as everyone else and if they need to, then ...

Jump to postYeah. The A220 is poised for growth at Jetblue.
It’s a pretty impressive machine. The most impressive thing I’ve seen is fuel burns that aren’t that far off from the CRJ-200 I flew 20 years ago.
There's nothing saying Airbus will build the A220-500, they lose money building A220s. And while an A319 burns more fuel, it's cheaper to acquire and has commonality with existing A320s and A321s. I would get rid of the A220s and get out of the order because Jetblue doesn't have the money, they are...
