5. WABC-7 will be added to the TV line-up.
Anyway, I would love to get to STL and GCM cheaply. If those routes pan out, I hope the fares mirror their Chicago/Aruba-Bermuda, etc. pricing trends, because the transcons are getting 'spensive! Which is a shame, because I love flying JetBlue.

Remember Color Calm Skies? Ok, that was something that jetBlue had and went bye bye and no one really missed it.... But, what bout a camera looking out the flight deck window that provide that live feed to all the TVs in the main cabin... that'll make every seat a window seat!

another idea for 2007...have music playing over the PA during boarding... like some type of music that would encourage everyone to board faster.

That one won't be happening. We have the TVs turned on during the boarding process right now so people can watch some TV before we start our demo, and when the PA is on it overrides the sound from the TVs. I use to play "Come Fly With Me" once during the boarding proccess thru my IPOD, but this was before we had the TVs active during boarding.

I'm glad to hear the TVs are "officially" on during boarding now. I had a few flights where they were on, but mostly it didn't happen until after the demo. I almost always get a seat in the back and board first, so the TVs will really help pass the time waiting to leave the gate!

My wishlist:
1. BlueElite - Blue elite card that can be used for Early boarding/free drinks/faster "premier" security lines at applicable airports/points bonus/free movies for frequent travelers (say 30+ segments/year)
2. West Coast coverage from PIT - OAK or LGB
3. Comedy Central to consistently work on the plane (been 2 for 6 on my last few flights)
4. Local Sports - e.g. NFL Network added during their exclusive football games or local ABC/CBS/NBC or Fox Sports affiliate when local destination/departure region planes are used
5. Better vacation package search feature that actually shows how much vacation packages will cost from airport X on date Y.
From the other lists, I'd second the blueberry juice, Canadian routes (Toronto/Montreal), and continuation of the online checkin bonus.
That's all.

Here's some of what I'd like to see/expect to see in 2007:
1. More perks for very frequent flyers - maybe a way to earn free change fees, bonus TrueBlue points, free drinks/movies, etc.
2. More ways to earn TrueBlue points - it's time for least hotel and car rental partners.
3. I really don't want to see higher-priced "premium" seats, but I do expect that more seats will be blocked off so people paying $399 don't get middle seats.
4. Some small-scale alliance with a carrier like Cape Air.
5. A return to Marketing more like the early days of JetBlue. "Sincerely JetBlue" is nice, but I'd like to see something more bold and daring.
My votes for new cities (from JFK) are STL, MCI, MSP, CLE, DFW. I'd also like to see a non-stop OAK-LAS, but doubt that will happen.

According to this article:
http://www.thedesertsun.com/apps/pbc.../1003/business
jetBlue and LiveTV will...
umm XM Radio on more A320
The kiosks will let customers change their flight
and LiveTV will introduce e-mail and text messaging servce.
