	JetBlue Airways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It attracted international exposure on September 21, 2005 when JetBlue Airways Flight 292 performed a dramatic emergency landing in Los Angeles, all of which was shown on live TV around the world.
		In 2002, JetBlue acquired 100% of the ownership interests in LiveTV, LLC for $41 million in cash and the retirement of $39 million of LiveTV debt.
		JetBlue is one of only a few U.S. airlines that made a profit following the sharp downturn in airline travel following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

		He and JetBlue staff have made 3:00 A.M. phone calls to alert passengers that their 6:00 A.M. flight is delayed and not to bother going to the airport early.
		JetBlue desperately needed a good deal on the airplanes--one competitive with the major carriers--and Airbus was anxious to prove that the A320 was suitable for low-cost travel and short hauls.
		JetBlue won't disclose which markets are profitable or what the per-seat profit picture is, but Neeleman claims to make money in all the carrier's markets.

	JetBlue tumbles on J.P. Morgan downgrade - Oct. 24, 2003
		JetBlue (JBLU: Research, Estimates) earned $29 million for the quarter, or 39 cents per share, versus $12.2 million, or 18 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter, marking its 11th consecutive quarter of profitability.
		JetBlue's foray into the competitive Atlanta market sparked a turf battle with Delta (DAL: Research, Estimates), whose Song airlines was seen by industry insiders as an attempt to grab a share of the ever-growing low-fare market segment, and fellow low-cost carrier AirTran (AAI: Research, Estimates).
		JetBlue is scheduled to end its Atlanta service on Dec. 4, after only seven months of service, in response to the increased competition from both carriers.

	JetBlue Complaint
		JetBlue specifically represents that any ticket information collected by JetBlue "is not shared with any third parties, and is protected by secure servers," and also claims to have in place security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of consumer information under JetBlue's control.
		JetBlue now claims it has rescinded that agreement, and JetBlue's Neeleman claimed on or about September 22, 2003 that JetBlue was not participating and will not participate in CAPPS II, despite earlier contrary statements.
		And while JetBlue attempts to take solace in the fact customer names were not disclosed, the information made publicly available was of such a detailed nature that for less than $50 and a few minutes on the Internet, the names of passengers could be easily obtained.

		JetBlue shares fell $1.86, or 5.4 percent, to $32.75 in late- morning trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market after the deal was announced.

	Fool.com: JetBlue's Challenges [Commentary] September 19, 2003
		JetBlue's senior managers, without exception, agree with me that maintaining such a strong culture is the single biggest challenge facing the airline.
		So many new planes give JetBlue an enormous cost advantage in its first few years, but this advantage is certain to diminish over time as JetBlue's aircraft and engines reach the age at which they require multi-million dollar overhauls.
		JetBlue strongly disagrees that there is any shortage of attractive routes to expand into, and cites data showing hundreds of routes with decent levels of traffic, in spite of current high fares.

		It's a great joy to sit in Row 22, watch everyone in front of you spring up to grab for their carry-ons as soon as the fasten seatbelt sign is extinguished upon arrival, and realize that there is an exit right behind you and that the cattle herding time has been cut in half.
		JetBlue seems to have shaken up the airline industry with its innovative business model, and I'm hoping more airlines like them will appear on the scene in the next few years.
		I recently flew one of jetBlue's new routes from Orlando to Boston and was extremely impressed with the airline.

		JetBlue's presence is almost certain to drive down air fares at Logan, at least to the cities to which it will fly, airline industry specialists said.
		JetBlue became one of the most sought-after airlines, thanks to its low fares and a reputation for putting the passenger first, and Massport changed its mind.

		In Neeleman's words, JetBlue looks "to bring humanity back to air travel." The airline sector closely watches JetBlue's success: Delta Air Lines started a rival carrier called Song, United Airlines started another rival called Ted, and major airlines like American Airlines are seeking to launch their own low-cost carriers in the future.
		In 2004, JetBlue announced it will add 100 channels ofXM Satellite Radio, Fox TV programs and 20th Century Fox movies, to its in-flight entertainment.
		JetBlue's fleet currently consists entirely of Airbus A320 aircraft having placed firm orders for 173 [1] (http://www.airbus.com/en/presscentre/), all of which will use International Aero Engines (IAE) V2500 engines [2] (http://www.iaenews.com/index.php?dtype=detailandID=142).

		It was as tangible as the pile of concrete, steel, flesh and ash smoldering at Manhattan's southern end on 9/11, the day he was in the north tower of the World Trade Center.
		All of which makes JetBlue's decision to hand its passenger records over to a firm doing a government terrorist-screening study even more maddening to Gruber.
		All of this, combined with lower-than-average fares, lead to high growth rates: 65 percent last quarter, in an industry that's been shrinking 10 to 15 percent a year, according to John Ash, with the airline consultancy Global Aviation Associates.

	Upstart JetBlue Airways defies skeptics
		Indeed, JetBlue's costs are the lowest of any big airline when measured by what a carrier pays to fly one seat 1 air mile, or a seat mile.
		JetBlue recognizes those maintenance costs will rise as its fleet grows older, but all the new planes on order will keep JetBlue's average airplane age the youngest in the business, said Dave Barger, president and chief operating officer.
		JetBlue's many similarities to Southwest stem from Neeleman's brief stint with the king of low-cost carriers in 1994 after Southwest acquired Morris Air.

	USATODAY.com - JetBlue leaving Atlanta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		ATLANTA (AP) — Discount airline JetBlue Airways (JBLU) is pulling out of Atlanta six months after it arrived, canceling flights to the West Coast because of intense competition from Delta Air Lines (DAL) and AirTran Airways (AAI).
		JetBlue had entered the Atlanta market to challenge Delta' dominance between there and Long Beach, Calif., and the move roughly coincided with Delta's launch of its own discount airline, Song.
		JetBlue's Atlanta-Long Beach flight was the first non-stop service to the West Coast by a discount carrier, resulting in fares for advance-purchase flights that were as low as $176 round-trip at the height of the price war.

	Wired News: JetBlue Shared Passenger Data
		The contractor, Torch Concepts, then augmented that data with Social Security numbers and other sensitive personal information, including income level, to develop what looks to be a study of whether passenger-profiling systems such as CAPPS II are feasible.
		Torch Concepts acquired the data by contacting the Transportation Security Administration, which says it facilitated the transfer of the data from JetBlue to Torch Concepts, according to TSA spokesman Brian Turmail.
		The company's presentation concluded that "known airline terrorists appear readily distinguishable from the normal JetBlue passenger patterns," but said differentiation would be enhanced if the system had access to a passenger's annual, as well as lifetime, traveling history.

		She likes working for JetBlue because the company treats her well, she is already quite senior (meaning that she has her pick of routes), and her fellow flight attendants work as hard as she does.
		By contrast, at United, she said relations with management were terrible, and she was often frustrated by burnt-out, unmotivated colleagues who -- knowing that their union would protect them -- were rude to passengers or simply sat at the back of the plane during the bulk of the flight.
		JetBlue is no doubt benefiting from the excitement and esprit de corps associated with a new, rapidly growing company.

		By ordering the Embraer jets, JetBlue will be able to meet its original goal of flying to 42 markets from its hub at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport.
		In order to accomplish this, however, JetBlue needed a smaller plane that would carry fewer passengers and meet the landing limitations of smaller airports.
		JetBlue also explored the possibility of purchasing other aircraft, such as the Boeing 717 predominantly used by AirTran Airways, the Airbus A-318, and the Bombardier CRJ-900.
