Airplanes are huge capital investments. When Jet Blue sends their business to France, it is a huge stimulus to them, and not to us. If they buy Boeing planes, it is a big stimulus to the US economy and there for benefits its passengers and all of us. Given that Jet Blue and South West (the only 2 successful airlines currently) both have a single plane strategy, I say boycott Jetblue until they are willing to switch to a Boeing single plane strategy. This would have the bonus effect of being the HUGE effect as well as story about "consequences" No wine and cheese boycott would have the effectiveness of a major and rapidly growing airline switching from Airbus to Boeing. That would hurt france bad...and very very publicly. No denying that boycott's effectiveness.

I would bet that somebody for Jet Blue got a big fat, under the table kickback.
