If the protestors show up at this funeral, I hope they are surrounded and then engulfed by a sea of blue and nothing but a bloody mud puddle left to mark where they stood.

Thank you, JetBlue. The gathering of officers from around the country means a lot to the family and shows respect from fellow “brothers” to the deceased ... it’s an important part of the funeral.

Bravo Jet Blue! Awesome! Suggestion: jettison the latrine waste over De Blasio’s house just prior to landing.

I’m sorry, this pisses me off.

Some of the biggest ripoffs are family traveling when a loved one dies. Airlines charge the highest rates within seven days and most times, this hits ALL funeral attendees hard.

I venture to bet the latest percentage of revenue an airline makes is from funeral travels.
