JetBlue is one of those carriers that you always read about in the paper but usually for the wrong reasons. The stories sound unbelievable and have the makings of a bad Seinfeld episode. I have never flown with JetBlue but based on what I read about in the media, I think it will be in my best interest not to fly with them based on some of the following stories.
- 8 month toddler removed from plane because she was on the no fly list - May 10, 2012
- Passenger put pilot in chokehold when he started acting strangely - March 28, 2012
- A passenger accused of punching a flight attendant and trying to bite his face - Nov 30, 2011
- Passengers stuck on tarmac for 7 hours on a plane - Nov 7, 2011
- JetBlue flight attendant flips out, grabs beer, quits job & gets arrested - Aug 10, 2010
You would think that these incidents would deter most people from flying with this discount carrier. Well you are wrong. JetBlue actually surpassed their profit expectations last quarter and banked thirty million dollars. Yikes! And surprisingly, Skytrax has designated them as the highest rated airline in the United States, and the country's only four-star airline.
As Canadians, we are pretty much stuck with two airline carriers. And although they have both let me down from time to time, I would rather fly with these guys than have my next flight incident uploaded to YouTube. Now if the government could only fix those taxes…
