I guess that explains the black and blue color scheme of JetBlue.

What they don’t tell you is the cabbie made the two pilots sit out in a parking lot with the doors locked, with no bathroom, and no refreshments for four hours, while he waited for clearance from his dispatcher.

Well, it takes some heat of off us, we own the two TYS pilots..

[blam]

These two piots should pay his medical expenses then go to jail for a while.
Forty year old men should know better...even drunk.

I wonder if “Juan” was legal.

[rbbeachkid]

WOW, and I’m flying Jet Blue to Chicago on Friday. Yikes!!!

[cardinal4]

while he waited for clearance from his dispatcher.

Because we are too busy dealing with every other crew who is stuck behind a groundstop, on MX, or waiting on flow times. Take your headache multiply it by the 13 birds I have and you have my headache..

It’s not flying, it’s “jetting.”

Fellas, there is no sex in the champagne room. I know that. You know that. For God’s sake, don’t take it out on the cab driver.

[El Cid]

Ah, that's how they keep the prices down on Jet Blue.
They pay the pilots peanuts...

[Mjaye]

Rats, I like Jet Blue, and I hate to hear this.

[Aaron0617]

A lone cabbie gets out of his cab to confront two men about money he was owed at 2am? I'm glad his injuries weren't too serious, I'm just suprised he did that.

I mean this is Miami.

[Clemenza]

I wonder if “Juan” was legal.

And how is that relevant? I lived in Miami and can name at least five "Juans" that are legal.

Of course, you probably believe that all hispanics are brown, poor, and illegal, and deserving of violence. Nice.

So we find out that Jet Blue Pilots are not Gods but men. That still leaves out the guys in the major airlines.

[biff]

After serving their jail terms these two flyboys will be lucky to be flying crop dusters. Airlines do not take kindly to hiring felons.

[tioga]

is that a joke or true?

[farmer18th]

Joke. Bad one. These two deserve the slammer it looks like.
