JetBlue Direct TV taken over by FAUX
Anyone else notice that little change displayed on the LCD screen in the seat in front of you when you flew home for the holidays? I did.

At least they played Dodge Ball and I-Robot for free.

Is JetBlue an active political contributor? I love the airline, but its not quite the same as it used to be back in the day when it first opened. Its also increasingly starting to accumulate the kind of nonsense you got sick of from flying Delta and American.

2. Don't diss Jet Blue...the change has to do w/Direct TV's deal w/ Faux for
news....Jet Blue's CEO (forget his name) is VERY BLUE (met him at some fundraisers) as is the majority of its employees....

3. I apologize for the insinuation then, Direct TV will be on my shit list...
And JetBlue is still a wonderful airline to fly on. I said it was starting to look like Delta and American b/c well, its gotten so much more popular now and is getting more crowded to get on a flight than it used to be. But I'm sure the company will adjust for it by opening more routes and purchasing more planes.

Its a great airline, fast friendly service, and even better its deep BLUE too!

Thanks for the point if clarification.

4. Yes - go with DISH
I hear that Charlie Ertegen (CEO) contributes equally to the Repub and Democrats

6. JetBlue is all Airbus at the upper end
because Boeing would not sell them New Planes only "lease" them 20 yo planes.
