Upgraded: JetBlue's New VP of Flt Ops

Captain Bushy to Oversee Pilot and Crew Services Functions

JetBlue Airways has named Captain Dave Bushy, Vice President, Flight Operations. Capt. Bushy fills a vacancy created by the promotion of Al Spain to Senior Vice President, Operations.

Capt. Bushy joins JetBlue after a 24-year career with Delta Air Lines, where he started in 1979 as a Boeing 727 Second Officer, and held numerous management positions during his tenure at Delta, most recently as the company's Senior Vice President, Flight Operations.

"We're thrilled to have Dave join the JetBlue family," said Dave Barger, JetBlue's President and COO. "Dave is the perfect choice to lead the more than 750 JetBlue pilots as we continue to grow our Airbus A320 fleet and as we look forward to the delivery of our first EMBRAER 190 in 2005."

Capt. Bushy served as an Officer in the U.S. Army from 1974-1977, after earning his BA from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME. He began his commercial aviation career in 1978 with Pilgrim Airlines in Groton, CT, before joining Delta in 1979. Capt. Bushy returned to college and earned his MS in Industrial Relations from the University of New Haven in 1986, while serving as a pilot for Delta.

Capt. Bushy, a New England native, will be relocating to the New York area to work at JetBlue's Forest Hills headquarters location.

JetBlue is a low-fare, low-cost passenger airline, which provides high-quality customer service. JetBlue operates a fleet of 53 new Airbus A320. The airline recently placed an order for 100 EMBRAER 190 aircraft with options for an additional 100.

The first EMBRAER 190 is scheduled to be delivered in mid 2005.
