Jet Blue fined

[Wardogg]

Fine $2,000,000
Revenue $9,600,000,000

Percentage of fine to revenue 0.02%

That’ll show ‘em! I’m sure there is a board meeting going on right now to ensure this never happens again.

U mad bro?

I’d just like to point out that fine to revenue is a bad model. Try fine against profits, that’s a more realistic understanding of the impact the fine will have.

Not in the least. I find it laughable.

I’ve never flown on jet blue.

So they’ll just add it to the net loss?

I wonder if it’s tax deductible. A business expense.

I’ve flown on them. It’s a great product. Carry on.

It is, but I agree that negligent planning is evil. Same with airports allowing airlines to start flights that don't fit knowing hundreds per day may misconnect due to the domino effect of that crap.

Not so quick. They're loosing money. Fine may hurt.

 

[SteveC]

Better tighten that money up.

Sounds like they need to tighten their purse strings.

Ahem.

 

[🦈💜]

Better tighten that money up.

You beat me to it.

 

[Wardogg]

Better tighten that money up.

I’m sure the government will be along shortly.

Big case, big headline, surprisingly easy work to prove. What young, ambitious, DOJ attorney could miss such a ripe target?

That’s what I’m wondering. I’ve always given JetBlue grace when it comes to on time performance. When your operation is predominantly in one of the most saturated areas in relation to airspace it’s a wonder they don’t cancel more. During my 9E days other then being a commuter there was a reason I bid mostly AM flying in NYC. After 3pm it usually hit the fan.

The DOJ can fine all they want but will it fix the ATC system that’s obviously broken? When it’s a beautiful day but there’s a ground stop due to system outages there’s a problem. But these are the hard hitting issues .

 

[ERfly]

jetBlue, have you tried being more on time?

 

[bp]

kind of interested to see what the side effects of this will be- add an hr of taxi time to each NYC bound flight in the summer?

We have entire regulations because of that airline.

Indeed. Ten pounds of poop in a five pound bag isn't a business strategy.
