Here's why IMO they are doing the IPO at this time:

&lt;snip&gt;

I suspect that the cache, or perceived "hipness" of JetBlue, its profitability, its expected growth, and its management team will make this an IPO with a great deal of retail and institutional demand. Investors will think they can get into a Southwest-like company at a much earlier phase.

Great comments! Admittedly, this is an industry I have not followed, and I know nothing about the financial metrics of JetBlue.

So you're saying 1,2, & 5 apply. I may just buy a buck's worth of this stock
