JetBlue Blows It Again

May 14th, 2008 by J Diggles · 3 Comments

What the hell is wrong with this airline? Aren’t they the ones who last year stranded passengers for over a week with delayed flights and made folks sit on planes with no food for 8+ hours on the tarmac waiting for the plane to thaw (which it never did). You would have thought that after that nightmare they would have trained their employees properly. But no.

A New York City man is suing JetBlue Airways Corp. for more than $2 million because he says a pilot made him give up his seat to a flight attendant and sit on the toilet for more than three hours on a flight from California.

Sit on the toilet? I mean that doesn’t sound half bad, it’s like your own little office in there. But come one, the pilot must have known that this was completely against federal safety regulations. What a bunch of morons.

Other highlights:
- The flight attendant was originally sitting in one of the standard flight attendant “jump seats”, but complained it was too uncomfortable for her and got the pilot to move the passenger. Really? This sounds like a man who is seriously whipped And by whipped, I mean he is totally thinking that if he does this he is going to get some flight attendent ass, which of course he isn’t.
- When the passenger said he didn’t want to go sit in the bathroom (totally reasonable I would say), the pilot told him that “he was the pilot, that this was his plane, under his command that the man should be grateful for being on board”.

Let’s see Jet Blue. Your stock was $16.57 before the original incident last January and has now plummeted to $4.77. Well done! Not going to lie though, those damned TV’s in every seat will bring me right back to you. Like crack.

    Really, he didn’t enjoy the extra leg room?

    If he had been flying back from a week long vacation in Mexico he probably would have paid extra for his toilet seat.

    Hmmmm.

    According to one story the guy hadn’t bought a ticket but was instead flying on a “buddy pass”. I.e. an employee of JetBlue gave the guy a ticket. I guess it’s a perk for employees maybe.

    So he wasn’t a regular paying passenger.

    That said it is completely against FAA rule to do this kind of shit.

    Do you think the stock might of fell due to oil prices? Let’s think back to 4/14/2007, they where not the only ones stuck on the tarmat, but they where the only ones to own up to it and give passengers there money back. Public apologies and sign in a passengers bill of rights. Great company and I’ll fly them any time I can.
