| It's not myaltitude but my attitude that riles me. |
Leaving Burbank, Ca. is hard enough, leaving on time is even harder on JetBlue. My last day with my grandkids was marred by the incompetence of JetBlue both in New York at JFK and at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank. As you can see below, the flight home was supposed to be at 2:16 PM. The limo service picked us up at 11:50 way before the promised time of 12:26 PM.
Now, we have had bad delays before from Burbank, it is nothing new to us but sometimes it gets frustrating if you fly East and start arriving at 3:00 AM in NY, have to get the airpark service to pick you up and then drive the Belt Parkway at that time.
We get to Burbank Airport and since the flight is at 2:16, we get a text:
Original departure time: 2:16 PM
Updated departure time: 4:05 PM
We decide to eat lunch at a nice restaurant at the airport. I had a pasta dish of Pesto with mushrooms and mozzarella cheese. It was very good when accompanied by 2 (two) Jack Daniel Manhattans. As we sit there and try to guess if the lady across from us eating alone is gay or a man, it was really hard to tell I get another text message:
Original departure time: 2:16 PM
Updated departure time: 4:38 P
So, there is no hurry to finish lunch that we do and casually stroll down to the waiting or boarding area and as we settle in, another text message comes across.
Original departure time: 2:16 PM
Updated departure time: 5:40 PM
You are talking four hours and change waiting for a five and a half hour trip across the country. This situation has gotten out of hand, the airline is running very poorly and I’m tempted to start taking Southwest with their stupid seating policy. Most time going home after a wonderful time in Burbank, the morons screw up the departures
