JetBlue Compensates for High Fuel Prices
JetBlue figured out how to compensate for their continuing loss in revenue. Passengers now have the option to buy JetBlue’s “eco-friendly” pillow and blanket, since they have done away with their standard overly-used pillows and blankets. For $7, you get piece of mind knowing your item is new, clean, and has never been used by a stranger! Not too bad since you keep it and it comes with a $5 coupon to Bed Bath and Beyond. Not only is JetBlue making a little extra, Bed Bath and Beyond will cash in too! If you have a little extra height, don’t worry there is an option for you too. For $10 extra you are put in one of the front or emergency rows which provide “much-lusted-after” space. This alone is expected to pull in an estimated $40 million.

JetBlue Sued Over Flight Spent on Toilet
A New York man, Gokhan Mutlu was denied a seat on a JetBlue flight before a flight attendant offered to give up her seat and fly in the airline employee “jump seat.” After an hour in flight, the off duty flight attendant complained to one of the pilots that she was uncomfortable. Mutlu said he would sit in the jump seat, but the pilot became aggravated and told him that the jump seat is for airline employees only and that he should “hang out” in the bathroom, on the toilet, for the remainder of the five hour flight. Mutlu is suing JetBlue for $2M USD because the flight experienced turbulence and he had no seat belt while on the toilet, claiming he was scared and humiliated.
If this is true, then Mutlu will definitely get something out of this lawsuit. I do not believe he will win the full amount he is suing for, but I don’t blame him for being angry. I would not want to pay for spending four hours in a lavatory on an airplane. I wonder if he was still offered his meal and beverage?
