US Airways to JetBlue: You Suck

Apr 19th, 2006 | By Jared Blank

US Airways and JetBlue are in a bit of a pissing match after JetBlue’s CEO said that passengers in Charlotte have "overpaid for substandard service," a likely reference to US Airways. In response, US Airways’ CEO sent a letter to employees that can be viewed here. In it, he says that JetBlue’s problems are "serious and structural" while adding that JetBlue’s on-time record is far worse than that of US Airways: "To characterize arriving late in JFK with a TV in front of you as
better service than being on-time in LGA…suggests that JetBlue may be looking at the wrong service
standards."

It’s worth a read…

Airplane Xing: Gibraltar’s bizarre runway - Look both ways before crossing the runway! Reader KB pointed me toward the Airport of Gibraltar, which has a road intersecting the airport.
