So much for their good intentions: JetBlue canceled 68 flights out of JFK this morning due to an overnight snowstorm that dropped a measly 2-4 inches on New York. Once again flights were kept on the tarmac for hours (though nothing in the ballpark of 10 hours) before being turned back to the gate. In accordance with their new air travelers’ rights “promise”, each of the inconvenienced passengers will receive a $100 voucher towards a future flight, and either a rebooked ticket or a refund of the cost. Yes, it’s generous on JetBlue’s part to help their inconvenienced passengers, but it still sounds like cold comfort to the people whose travel plans were grounded. Fewer cancelations equals fewer reimbursements, guys.
