JetBlue’s Founder Aims to Reboot Discount Flying With U.S. Startup
Serial airline entrepreneur David Neeleman is determined to make his next carrier stand out in a market where rivals large and small shoehorn budget-minded travelers into cramped cabins. (www.bloomberg.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
"There is no reason for Middle East and Asian carriers to have better service". Yes, there is - called U.S. labor laws!
This, and the fact that no one from the US wants to travel to the Middle East, unless required for business--sorry to be un-PC, but it's just not a pleasure travel destination for westerners. So the airlines that beckon travelers there have to be over-the-top opulent.
i for one welcome Neeleman back into the american market for his next good idea well executed. This tantilizing aircraft will give comfort a new name in the skys, without the "pack them in, rip them off" mentality that we see too much of now.
I must have missed it. Where did the article mention the proposed seat pitch?
Any airline that will allow me to avoid LAX has my vote.
The second item to be addressed by a new airline is service. Neeleman may boast that he is a technology company, he is actually in the personal service business. There is no reason for Middle East and Asian carriers to have better service than American companies. It takes training of the front line staff, and a culture in middle management to provide better service than instant profits.
