The company I work for, JetBlue has actually done the opposite by not only adding staffing this year but we have taken delivery of 3 A320s and 5 E-190s. We have opened up several new cities and routes this year so far including Montego Bay-Jamaica, Bogota-Columbia and yesterday LAX. Below is a short list of cities slated for later this year to be opened: - Boston, MA (BOS) and Santo Domingo, DR (SDQ) starts June 19, 2009. - Boston, MA (BOS) and Baltimore, MD (BWI) starts September 9, 2009. - Barbados (BGI) and New York, NY (JFK) starts October 1, 2009. - Saint Lucia (UVF) and New York, NY (JFK) starts October 26, 2009. - Kingston, Jamaica (KIN) and New York, NY (JFK) starts October 30, 2009. So while others are cutting back, we are expanding. I enjoyed listening to Paula Berg from Southwest Airlines and the Australia desk as well as Adam giving the report on the biwing event. I hopefully will be able to contribute some news also as soon as I get a microphone and can make you an mp3. Take care and keep up the good work on the podcast.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to comment on the news story about American and other carriers dropping staffing and airplanes/routes.

So while others are cutting back, we are expanding.

Take care and keep up the good work on the podcast.
