Jet Blue Bloggers Speak Out
Just after I wrote about mommybloggers (see yesterday's entry), it appears there are even Jet Blue "hostage" bloggers. Yes, it's an entire blog dedicated to the now infamous Valentine's Day incident at JFK.
These folks aren't happy, either:
"Who lets 100+ people sit in an airpline on the tarmac for 8-10 straight hours? No matter the weather conditions, at the three-hour mark it's time to unload the plane and review options.
But instead, after 11 hours of no food, overflowing toilets, fetid air and justifiably distressed passengers, Jet Blue finally unloaded stranded passengers because ... wait for it ... the crew's flight time had "expired."
Lesson of the Day: Companies that screw up have no place to hide. Years ago, I was in a similar incident with another airline and had to revert to calling the local newspaper on my cell phone. It resulted in a tiny blip of a news story (two -- count'em -- two engine failures on two separate planes trying to get back to L.A.), but that's another story. Had I been blogging, the story would have been all over the Web.
Kudos to Jet Blue, however, for inviting the blogger to visit with the CEO. The power of the blogger is tough to ignore.
