It's JetBlue's fault, and airlines should be serving alcohol.


There, I cleaned that up for you.

Yeah, one flight should be a good enough market study for these silly
claims alright.

Most FA's can give an educated guess on an average amount. If that's not
good enough for you, then I guessed about a dozen people per flight -
avarage. Prove me wrong.

It's not my job proving senseless morons wrong. It's their job to
prove they're right. Fat chance, hey moron?


And a diversion is extremely rare.

The total cost still may be surprising.

To who? You?

Damn right! I was suprised. You on the other hand, know it all, so maybe
not to you.

It's no surprise to anyone but you that the pilot is captain of his
plane and can take it wherever he thinks appropriate in circumstances
like this. Just demonstrates once more how little you know about the
airline business. Which also surprises no one that sees the drivel
you post.

It's not JetBlue's fault, but airlines shouldn't be serving any
alcohol at all.

Sure. Lose even more revenue. Brilliant solution.

Is it really more revenue?

Yes. Why do you think they serve them?

Maybe a dozen people on any one flight spring for a drink or two.
Minus the fact that FC is all freebies. They seem like they may
cancel each other. Then a situation like a diverted flight comes up.
(This wasn't the first alchol related diversion.) Big bucks were lost
on the diversion.

Ridiculous. There is no free lunch. FC passengers pay for their
drinks in their tickets. You have no idea how many drinks they serve
on a flight. You just made that up as if you knew. And a diversion
is extremely rare.


If you took mxsmanic's knowledge of aviation and multiplied by a few
million orders of magnitude, you still wouldn't fill the head of a pin.

He doesn't know **** from shinola about aviation. He thinks that because
he "flies" in Microsoft Flight Simulatior he is a qualified pilot who knows
all the answers regarding aviation.

What I said was a guess.
guess - verb
1. to arrive at or commit oneself to an opinion about (something)
without having sufficient evidence to support the opinion fully

Looks like someone needs a course in reading comprehension.

Yes John-John the captain can do what he wants. You're a real Einstein.
It's no surprise that you have no idea what you are reading. And *your*
drivel has no connection to "cost of a diversion". It's obvious who the
moron is here.

It's better than losing a flight.

John Kulp writes:

Tradition. They could make more money by serving cigarettes, but they don't.

Airlines should not be selling or handing out drugs on a flight.

John Kulp writes:

Sure. That's why all the passengers are willing to pay what it costs
to transports themselves right now so none of the airlines are in
financial trouble. You really know nothing about the airline business
do you?

Nobody unaddicted to alcohol is likely to choose a flight or class based on
the availability of alcohol.

Which is as close as you will ever get to being accurate. You're so
stupid that you would take the word of some FA on one flight and
assume it's accurate. Hmm. Let's see. You board a morning shuttle
flight between Boston and Washington, ask the FA how many drinks she
served on the flight and take that as an accurate projection of how
many are served on all flights. Everyone knows that people drink as
much on 1 hour flights as they do on transcontinental flights.
Everyone knows that people drink as much for breakfast as they do
later in the day. Etc., etc. This surprises no one who sees your
ignorant blathering, but don't let that slow you down. And never mind
that this costs the airline no more anyway because they are serving
other drinks as well, so why not? Completely stupid.

Yeah, you. These incidents causing diversions are so rare that, when
spread over the number of flights flown every day, which are
thousands, much less yearly, they are infintesimal and important only
to an ignorant moron like you.

Because they're not allowed to genius. And who says they would make
more money anyway other than you blathering? Got any proof of this
great assertion of yours? Post it.

So, if someone gets a headache they shouldn't give them an aspirin
then genius?
