Amongst the bad news from numerous airlines, the SF Chronicle has printed a long, interesting interview with JetBlue Airways CEO and founder David Neeleman. This airline that I was still considering a tiny upstart is now the largest carrier flying out of JFK in New York. Neeleman sees success in the various airlines concentrating on home hubs instead of the branching out that the big ones had begun. He talks about continuing to maintain the loyalty of his employees, something he believes sets JetBlue apart from the other companies. And he’s excited about the Embraer 190 aircraft from Brazil which fits their market and entertainment offerings. Neeleman also discusses his family and background.
