Apologies are the easy part. JetBlue's real issue is putting profit first and passenger safety a distant second. Their historic operational strategy makes it incredible that this problem didn't occur earlier.

What goes around, comes around. Jetblue was way too quick to diss every other company out there. I guess they bleed too!
