You don't lie to your own doctor. You don't lie to your own attorney, and you don't lie to your employees.

The airline business is the biggest team sport in the world. When you're all consumed with fighting among yourselves, your opponents can run over you every day.

Watches are the only jewelry men can wear, unless you're Mr. T.

In airplanes you have a choice between chocolate and vanilla. One year could be vanilla or it could be chocolate. I don't attach any relevance to which one.

Since 1978 the record pretty well shows that no start-up airline . . . has really been successful, so the odds of JetBlue having long-term success are remote. I'm not going to say it can't happen because stranger things have happened, but I personally believe P.T. Barnum was, in that respect, correct.

We're a stupid industry led by stupid people.

It's not a testosterone-driven industry any longer. Success is making money, not in the size of the airline.
