A lot of people move around in the airline industry. No big worry.

If this guy was with the "old USAirways" Jetblue should be out of business within a year!

Interesting in the context of JetBlue having talked about getting their revenue/yield up the last few months, and they are actually hiring an outsider...

Interesting times

Now, if I can just figure out WHEN the virus will become symptomatic, I'll know when to place an order to short JB!

Talk about ironic...Neelman insinuates US Airways provides an inferior product, US Airways bleeds money and merges to survive...and then JB hires the former US Airways Revenue guy? Too funny

I worked with this person in EWR with PI for many years, and can only wish him the best at JB. Rick was not one of the high ranking people at the old US that can be blamed for any of thier woes. There are dozens of others that I would place blame on before him, many which date all the way back to 1989.

Unlike WN, B6 can't increase load factor to increase revenue. I suspect that their path is to become more like a legacy carrier to increase RASM.

DP started his career at AA, then went to NW. I think Bill Franke used a headhunter to bring him over to AWA
