JetBlue gets a new CEO

Yes, we know JetBlue Airways doesn't serve PHL. But it is a pacesetter airline, having raised the standards for in-flight service and is very popular with its customers. David Neelman, the founder and CEO for nine years, was replaced today by Dave Barger, the president and experienced airline operations guy. Opinions vary whether the move is directly related to the widely reported service meltdown JetBlue had Feb. 14 at its Kennedy hub. Read what Neelman and others say in an AP story.
