JetBlue – Our Pilots Will Beat You Black And Blue

October 3. 2008

Two JetBlue pilots in Florida beat down a cabdriver over a $9 fare. Yes, that's right, a $9 fare (I can talk smack, because I fly Air Jamaica, Spirit airlines and AA). Who knew pilots were such good wrestlers.

Note to the cab driver: Dude, if you ever fly JetBlue, you are so not getting your soda and if you ask for a pillow, they are going to give you a metal box to sleep on.

Sidebar: Why is it always Florida. The election gets messed up, it's Florida (2000). The terrorists take a vacation before 9/11, it's Florida. Faux terrorists allegedly try to blow up a FBI building, it's Florida. Man puts offensive sign on his lawn about the first black presidential nominee, it's Florida. People, give Florida a break already.
