Ride For Free On Jet Blue (If You Can Get Yourself "Trapped" In The Cargo Hold)
A Jet Blue employee hitched a free flight from JFK Airport in NYC to Logan Airport in Boston this past weekend, after getting trapped in the cargo hold before takeoff. Police aren't charging him with a crime, but they told the Boston Globe that, "Even after talking to him, we were a little uncertain as to how it happened." He apparently called the company from the cargo hold once the plane was in the air—which is exactly what we would do to deflect suspicion in a scheme like this. Tokyo, here we come via new part-time job as a baggage handler! More » -

JetBlue Passenger Forced To Cover Arabic Shirt Gets $240k From JetBlue, TSA Employees
In 2006, Raed Jaer, an Iraqi-born U.S. resident, was forced by TSA officials and JetBlue to cover his t-shirt—it read, "We Will Not Be Silent" in both Arabic and English—before he could board a flight. The airline and the two TSA officials (TSA was not named in the suit) settled out of court last week for $240,000, although JetBlue still denies they did anything wrong, and the TSA says they don't "condone profiling in any way shape or form."

Here's an odd problem. Reader Austin bought some airline tickets for a business trip and wasn't sure who was going to go, so he booked an extra ticket with his name on it — thinking that the name could be changed later. Whoops. More » -

JetBlue Flight Attendant Offered Nude Pics Of Himself, And Sex, To Passenger
The first thing we thought when we read this article was, at least something is still free on an airplane! Unfortunately, in this case the passenger claims it was unrequested and wouldn't stop, and the flight attendant, who no longer works for JetBlue, has been arrested "on charges of 'obscene and indecent exposure' and 'for making sexual advances.'" He has yet to enter a plea. More » -

The Video That Got A Grandmother Escorted Off JetBlue In Handcuffs
JetBlue really doesn't know when to leave well enough alone! Remember Marilyn Parver, the grandmother who was arrested for videotaping a fight between two other passengers, and then refusing to delete it? Well, it seems that after the whole thing had blown over — JetBlue had to go and send the woman a nasty email in which they accused her of being “argumentative, condescending and belligerent” and refusing to obey the instructions of crewmembers. Dumb! Now Parver has released the tape in question and we can't see anything wrong with what she did. The fight is one of those basic "I've been on a plane for a really long time with your out-of-control child and I'm having a nervous breakdown" altercations. Nothing cookies and hugs wouldn't fix!
