So is this clever or what? We're not sure if JetBlue is trying to appeal to the folks these ads are seemingly addressed to or to every else and their resentments but we think the resentments will win. Labelled as an appeal to "bigwigs, muckety-mucks, private-jetters...," the new advertising campaign by the trendy carrier appeals directly to our hatred of the former fat cats and the (and we quote) "$5,300 an hour you used to pay for your private jet. Now in exchange for these shareholder-friendly prices, you'll have to share the plane with strangers," it says, touting JetBlue's fares and "unlimited free snacks." The carrier concludes with an interesting definition of air travel: "Just think of it as jet-pooling, only we find the other people for you."

 

This is JetBlue's second recent move to establish itself as the friend of the working stiff. About a week ago, the unemployed1.jpgcarrier said that it would refund a fare if the person who bought it loses his or her job in the next few months.

Thanks much for the great document. I am glad I've taken the time to learn this.

I love the expression. Everyone needs to express there own opinion and feel free to hear others. Keep it up :)

I really like the colors here on your blog. did you design this yourself or did you outsource it to a professional?

I also use wordpress for my website. The best thing is that comments add additional content. By the way, your chosen design suits perfetcly what is site about.

Nice blog here! Also your website loads up fast! What host are you using? I wish my website loaded up as fast as yours lol

Yo. First of all - fantastic blog! Secondly this article was also good and interesting to read, but I don't think everything you have said is real truth. I will need to google about few things you have mentioned in your artcile to make sure. But anyway thanks for taking your time to write intresting artciles and good luck on writing other articles. P.S sorry for bad English, I aren't English native speaker.

Insightful job. I am going to want a bit of time to think about your stuff.

Interesting layout on your blog. I really enjoyed reading it and also I will be back to read more in the future.
