Flyers are raving about the so-called JetBlue experience. It begins with pricing, which is competitive and doesn't torture consumers with requirements like Saturday-night stays. There are 12 one-way fares from New York City to Orlando, for instance, ranging from $70 to $199. On Delta, by comparison, there are 41 fares between the two cities ranging from $70 to $584.

The son of a sharecropper and one of 11 children, Hooker ran away from home at 14 to make music in Memphis, Tenn., and didn't stop until 1997--more than 100 albums later. In 1989 Hooker won his first of four Grammy Awards for a version of his 1951 million-selling single, I'm in the Mood, which he rerecorded...
