Jet Blue Passengers Seeing RED

Jet Blue has a lot of PR and fence mending to do in the wake of passengers being left waiting JetBlue_stuckin airplanes on the tarmac for nearly 9 hours. Passengers aboard JetBlue flights were seeing RED Do to the harsh winter ice and snow storms that hit the northeast many plane flights were grounded and cancelled; however, Jet Blue passengers had a nightmare all unto themselves.

The airline said 10 incoming and outbound flights at John F. Kennedy International Airport were “significantly delayed” with customers on board during Wednesday’s storm. Reasons included congestion, frozen equipment and an effort to keep planes ready to go in case the weather broke, said JetBlue spokesman Bryan Baldwin.

More than 250 of JetBlue’s roughly 500 flights nationwide were canceled Wednesday, but “fairly normal” service resumed Thursday, he said.

Calling Wednesday’s delays “unacceptable,” the airline planned to offer the affected passengers refunds and free flights.

To Cheryl Chesner, 26, “unacceptable” was hardly the word for the 11 hours she said she and her husband, Seth, 27, spent trying to take a JetBlue flight to Aruba for their honeymoon. (Yahoo News)

Serves you right for going to Aruba in the first place. Don’t worry though … Jet Blue’s treatment of you is only a precursor of things to come when you arrive in Aruba. Call it “karma” for buying the ticket to the location in the first place.
