I am not into this boycott France rubbish. Who cares? If it were my company and I thought Airbus was the best airplane for the lowest price for a discount flyer, I would buy airbus.

...not if my customers care.

And I Care. JetBlue will never see any of my business.

If Iran made the best airplane, would you buy it from them?

Economic security is just as important and we need to defeat our enemies, i.e. the Frenchies, there also.

I like Jet Blue and I am a member of their sky-miles program. I have always had good experiences with them. However, one thing that always troubled me was the use of Airbus planes. It seems to me that when I read about a large passenger plane crashing for no apparent reason, 3 times out of 4 it is an Airbus. And as I recall from my reading, one of the main things that makes it attractive is that it is cheaper than most of its competitors. That does not necessarily reassure me.

Al-Qaeda members selling cigarettes in North Carolina, they were a lot cheaper since no taxes were paid. Would you buy them?

Shoes made by slave labor in China. They use the money to buy missiles, planes, etc. from Russia to build up the capability to take out our aircraft carriers. The shoes are are cheaper. Would you buy them?

Cuban cigars are the best and are reasonable. But you support a bloody dictator. Buy those?

Henry Ford did a lot of good business in Germany around World War II. Right thing to do?

France attempts to stymie our foreign policy, block us at the UN, accuse us of imperialism while their troops are in Ivory Coast unilaterally. They leaked intel to the Serbs during Bosnia and provided intel to Saddam in the run up to the current war. They provided Iraq with WMD material and nuclear expertise. They have used EU anti-trust bodies to attempt to interfer in mergers that have been approved by our own government in the attempt to reduce our world competitiveness. They take us to the WTO but continue to subsidize their armaments industry to be able to compete against ours. They promised certain things to our diplomats prior to this war and then did the exact opposite in an ambush style. They attempted to interfere in our electoral processes by putting WTO approved tarrifs almost exclusively on Republican congressional districts in order to increase joblessness there and get Democrats elected.

But you are free to save a buck while you can.

And I'll bet you'd use products for a hunting trip made in China. You are not alone, some of my very best friends are that way too. I will boycott just about everything that represents anti-Americanism to me, and many people will always look to get the most bang for their buck.

IMO, it's selfish shortsightedness. In REAL life, that's America.

God bless America, where I can't force my ideals on someone else, and no one else can force their ideals on me.
