...president of the Boyd Group, an aviation consulting firm based in Evergreen, Colo., says that JetBlue will weather the storm. "When it comes to customer service, these people rewrote the book," he says. "The product is damn good. It's just that their operational systems haven't been very robust. But they'll fix that.
