I have actually noticed a HUGE decrease in the use of rear boarding/deplaning.
Of my last ~20 flights into/out of FLL, I have not noticed it done not even once. They used to do it ALL the time - especially at C4/C6. Have not been to PBI in 12 months, but last time they utilized it. Year and a half ago at SEA I was pleasantly surprised to experience it. SAN did it. BUR, this past March, did it. FLL....not any more! What is going on there???
Well, what can I say, jetBlueNYFL. I'm quick. I guess that FT yellow flows through my vains co-mingled with the blue that comes with the Rangers, Yankees, and of course, B6.
Outside having to do it with HP 3 years ago due to jetway problems at EWR , its the one thing that I enjoyed about B6. Its something a little different that makes life with B6 nicer, more time efficent, and unique.
My thought would be the change came from either the management or insurance company at B6's or FLL's end. But that's just my guess. Then again, that is an obvious guess. I'm thinking it maybe a little of both. I wonder if there was an incident that may have prompted this change.
