		Far from lacking in mental acuity, Neeleman is CEO and the mercurial driving force behind JetBlue, the discount airline that's become one of the few shiny spots in a tarnished industry.
		Neeleman, 42, was diagnosed with ADD about three years ago after reading about it.
		Neeleman's sometimes erratic approach to life is just one of the quirks making him one of the fascinating leaders in an industry long known for larger-than-life characters.

		David Neeleman: Before 9/11, we had anticipated offering service between Dulles and JFK but now with additional costs on a per flight basis and the perceived hassles of extra security affecting short haul flying, more people are taking the train between the two cities.
		David Neeleman: The ability to put extra cash on our balance sheet to ensure our continued success in the future and to let every one of our crewmembers (employees) participate in a stock purchase program was important to us, so that everyone within the company could feel like they own a part of the company.
		David Neeleman: In addition to their base compensation, which we believe is very competitive, our pilots receive stock options, profit-sharing (which was 13.5% of their base salary last year), stock purchase plan, 100% match 401K plus all the traditional benefits.

		NEELEMAN: I think it was like, oh, a $150 a week for a condo, and so I ran little ads in the newspaper, and I would rent them for, you know, maybe $300 a week, and I would pay him the $150 and keep $150.
		NEELEMAN: And it was really the only airline that Southwest has ever purchased for the purpose of integrating, where they merged it into their operation.
		NEELEMAN: If I could have a magic pill that would take it away, I wouldn't do it, because I think with this distractibility and with this disorganization and the procrastination and all the bad things that come with A.D.D., and the inability to focus, comes creativity and a hyper-focus.

		Neeleman: Even though Southwest has only one plane, the 737, some of their planes were created 30 years apart.

	David Neeleman launches upstart airline JetBlue into the wild blue yonder - Oct. 6, 2000
		Certainly not, thought David Neeleman, and there is no reason, other than relying on entrenched and outdated business practices, that air travel couldn't be very civilized, affordable and just a little bit fun.
		Neeleman, 40, is hardly the firebrand one might expect of an airline entrepreneur who is taking on huge, corporate behemoths like Continental (CAL: Research, Estimates) and American Airlines (AMR: Research, Estimates).
		Neeleman is equally upbeat about plans to take the company public some time in the near future.

		It's all part of what Neeleman calls "bringing humanity back to air travel." Which is how he built a bona fide brand at a time when most consumers have about as much regard for their air carriers as they do for their phone companies.
		Neeleman's shortcomings are offset by his creativity and infectious energy, traits that are also associated with ADD (which is why he refuses to take medication).
		It was Neeleman's idea to establish operations at underused JFK Airport in New York, thought to be a dud as a domestic hub because of its distance from Manhattan.
