Rob, you and the CEO should be fired! You lost OPERATIONAL CONTROL again!!! Every storm it is the SAME OLD STORY from JetBlue mis-management. If 23 other flights diverted to Hartford, why is it that ONLY YOUR flight was stuck for 8 hours? It is because you and your fellow managers failed! Just admit it... Then I hope your BOD fixes it by firing the top leaders. You need leaders not apologists!

Dave Barger and his team spent more time preventing employees from unionizing then running the operation. If they only spent a fraction of the time and money used in preventing unionization to prevent operational disasters, this would be the BEST run airline in the USA!

Interesting to watch the facial and eye reactions this clown is transmitting. Very telling that he is lying and clueless. How can this fool be a COO at a major airline. Where is the CEO?

Sad that thie seems to happen every few months at Jetblue and no other airline. I used to fly Jetblue but they have failed me too many times. Glad I did. I hope that some new leadership can turn them around. I also agree that this was preventable.

Why don't you post the CA's video reply he was forced to make? You paraded him around like a POW so the employees of jetblue will live in fear if they say something negative about jetblue over the radio.

Baghdad Rob Maruster, you're "FIRED"!!!!

Accountability - Zero.

Why do these people always get a pass from the media? Just because Dave Barger can recite fuel hedging crack spreads on Fast Money on CNBC, doesn't mean he knows how to run an airline. Multiple fiascos each year, during each weather event, means this management team is incompetent. Someone on the board do the right thing for the entire company and its shareholders and dump this management team. It is time for change.

First I need to agree with the majority of comments in that JetBlue management needs to be replaced. I have flown JetBlue, I know JetBlue employees, and I am aware of all the issues with poor management at JetBlue. I see it as a customer! This video is an attempt to control public opinion that lacks any credibility. Why is the COO speaking and not the CEO? Where does the BUCK STOP? The CEO was made aware of constant operational deficiencies and has ignored them. JetBlue is on the downward slide!
