Interesting, the most active B6 thread I have ever seen here, and it is because US people are involved.
One thing that will be interesting to note in the longer term (next five years or so), is how JetBlue will be able to properly support their aircraft without the network behind it that the majors have. AOG-N-IT correctly pointed out the issue regarding Non-Procurable parts. While the majors that fly the Airbus product (UA, NW, US) have shops in house, I do not believe B6 does. If we really need that hinge that is Non-Procurable, or U Channel which is only in Hamburg, the majors have the ability to get a repair drawing to the sheetmetal shop and go to work. At the same time, the low cost carrier without shop support in house has pulled up the part number for wheel chocks and awaits the part from across the pond. This flies in the face of the low cost carriers model of high aircraft utilization. Parking an aircraft for two or three days is much more painful to JetBlue than it is ever to a major. As AOG-N-IT has noted, the lack of corrosion protection is a huge issue here, and it will be seen in the near term at B6, and only get worse, not better.
As for the CrownVic, the explosions noted remind me of the side saddle fuel tanks on the Chevy Silverado pickups, where Dateline added expolisve materials to Get the image to look better on film. It is the media chasing something which does not exist.
BTW AOG-N-IT, if JetBlue adds proper stock out West, that would be a first, considering how many times they call US for parts in their hometown.
