On April 12, the day his company went public, David Neeleman appeared to be everywhere yet nowhere. The chief executive of JetBlue Airways watched its stock price and trading volume soar in a private room at the NASDAQ building in Times Square. He ventured outside, greeted passers-by and tickled a baby in a stroller. He choked back tears as he thanked his family and the JetBlue crew at a news conference.

All the while, as the company celebrated the best-received initial public offering of the year, reporters, executives and family members repeated the question: "Where's David?"

At Morris Air, the discount carrier he founded in Salt Lake City in the early 1980s, Neeleman created a mechanism to tap in to callers awaiting a reservations agent and assure them, "This is David Neeleman, the president of Morris Air. I know you've been on hold for 10 minutes. Just hang on."

THAT'S service! Where do I buy stock in this man? He will be rising for quite some time.

"Crime/Corruption" fits.
Because American Airlines will resort to the moral equivalent of such to
snuff out JetBlue (as it has with other upstarts).

Yes, I know it's free enterprise and AA is free to do as it wishes...
thank heavens there are people like the group at JetBlue who occassionally
ignore the fact they will most likely be squished by one of the majors like AA
(And one of AA's head lobbyists, one Mrs. Tom Dashcle, will do her part).
