Fun fact: JetBlue only operates AirBus aircraft, as does Frrontier and Spirit. Southwest only operates Boeing 737s.

No way, the cheaper airlines use better planes?

Starting to think the hard-on for Boeing was just part of a trade battle, like most "buy american" shit.

Boeing used to be the superior plane, but their quality control has taken a serious nose dive

Well yeah. I mean jetblues market cap is $2.4 billion. Boeings is over $100 billion
