RE: Virgin Red-New US low cost airline

I haven’t flown on Jetblue, but my cousin does on a regular basis from JFK-ONT. The fact that he can avoid LAX is godsent, considering his proximity to ONT. He loves them. I have flown on SW only once, and it was exactly what you pay for. It was only an hour flight from ONT to Vegas, we got peanuts and a drink. But then again, SW has been able remain successful as a result. Would I rather pay a little more and get better survice, damn right! The amazing thing is, on similar routes, ‘scheduled carriers’ aren’t much more expensive than Southwest! At the time I used to pay $115US to fly from ONT to LAS on United, via LAX, and non-stop on SW I paid $99. Big deal, 15 lousy dollars. I’d rather pay that, get my mileage, get my assigned seat, and not have to worry. To get back to the subject matter, JetBlue is doing pretty well right now, and their growing. I’m sure maintanance problems will be dealt with as they arise. They have brand new aircraft. If I had a choice between the 2, I’d take Jetblue.
