Update from David Neeleman - YouTube
An update from the first video about last mont's meltdown:

It seems like there has been much improvement over the terrible meltdown last month. I think it's so cool that the CEO of a company is posting videos to customers on YouTube!

I think its even Cooler that Gerald Greenstein CEO of Delta, announced that he wouldnt be taking any of the 10 Million Bonus that he would have once DL exits Chap 11. Hes leaving it for schloarships and other needed items for the other workers, and not the Execs at that. He walks away with $0 over his reg salary. Thats CLASS

It's better that he's out there than not -- although most of the six-minute video is Neeleman insisting that things are getting better and better. But YouTube is the flavor-of-the-month solution for PR types and message-spinners of all kinds, and this production is about as "authentic" or "spontaneous" as the Bank of England is "zany." It's got professional PR fingerprints all over it, from the slick animated open to the "CorpComm" YouTube moderator warning that critical/dissenting comments are subject to deletion. And you better believe it was scripted down to its toenails.

Cool beans!
I'm glad mother nature got all the snow and ice out of her system just in time for my flight to Arizona next week.
I'm looking forward to giving Jet Blue more of my business, because for the price and the experience offered you can't do better.

Care to wager that he'll get something else of similar or greater value within a year? If he was worth 200 million, 10 million wouldn't matter much.

I'll take You up on that, but GG is suppose to retire once DL is out of Chap11 or whatever # it is. So I highly doubt that theres any provision that he is suppose to get a ton of anything down the road.Its usually a 1 shot deal, unless you are still employed by the company an dthey issue further deals later on.
Even if hes worth 200 mil , it does matter since how many others in the same situation gave away their Bonus??
