SS was the one who fielded the question, but I agree 100%. Said our international flying doesn't quite compare to Middle East or Africa flying. I haven't flown in either of those places, but our international flying is certainly no walk in the park and presents its own unique challenges. I think it's crazy that bias can play a role in the decision. They're international destinations, stop playing games.
You're right, it really does go to show you how little power the student council, sorry PVC, has over things.

Plus buying JetBlue would give them access to a fully up and running training department, AQP program and 4 new simulators and building. Plus they would get the E190s to farm out to Eagle or other regional carriers that fly for AA in the future.
Sad, but the part do fit.
Just my opinion......

Your service would automatically go to the lowest common denominator. And another unique airline culture would be lost. Not everyone may agree, but you have to admit that B6 and VX tried to bring a new paradigm to US air transportation.

Post of the year!!!
Love it... Now airline pilots are akin to twinky makers and stock boys... Yep, we all da same man. Dang.
More over jetBlue is hardly Bankrupt! In fact we have posted record profits. Yet some how, the company bean counters find a reason to NOT pay us the agreed to wage set. They also found it profitable to raise the ins. premiums by 300%.
Comparing a work group at a bankrupt company that makes hoho's and ding dongs to highly skilled, educated professionals at a very profitable company is beyond scope.

Gotta tell you it would be sad to see the AA Borg absorb you for a couple reasons.
