i saw this today in an advertising class i walked in on. it was an old jetblue commercial. if anyone can find this online please post the link.
it starts off with an airline captain walking out to his car early in the morning going to work. his son comes running after him all excited and screams "when i grow up i wanna be a JetBlue Pilot just like you daddy." the father smiles and then informs his son that he does not fly for jetblue but instead flies for US Air. the son with a sad face now responds after quickly thinking "so thats why mom left!"
it made me laugh. i hope us air pilots dont take offense. comical i think.

RE: Lmao Pilot Joke/commercial
In all honesty - the pilot doesn't say he flies for USAirways - He only says he doesn't fly for Jetblue - still a cute commercial
Oh how I miss Midway Airlines. A class act right to then end.

>>>"so thats why mom left!"
>>>comical i think
With all due respect (to both you and Jet Blue), I think the ad is pretty insensitive...
There are -real- people that have suffered from USAirway's cutbacks and layoffs over the last few years. -Real- people like families, as well as the employees themselves. I have no doubt that these financial stresses have translated into some relationships, and it's not unreasonable to presume that some marriages have failed as a result.
I like a good creative ad campaign as much as anyone, but when it mirrors what may well be a painful -reality- for others, -that's- when it's crossed the line.

The ad says nothing about US Airways! Vicious rumor alert!

OPNL:
Lighten up dude. They aren't making fun of USAirways at all in these ads, they don't even MENTION another airline. All the kid says is he wants to be a pilot just like his dad, blah blah blah Because JetBlue is cool blah blah blah. And the dad says "But I dont' fly for JetBlue."
The dad is still employed, not laid off, not fired, not furloughed.....EMPLOYED by an airline in the ad.

the uniform with the black and gold... and the pilots name tag under the wings is acutally almost a delta uniform.. but again he is just a pilot for an airline.... no one in paticular
RE: Lmao Pilot Joke/commercial
Come on, they never said UsAir, it could have been "any" airline

Oh Man!!! I agree, lighten up!
It's a TV COMMERCIAL, not REAL LIFE! Jeesh! If it opens wounds, or hurts your feelings, or messes with your karma...then DON'T look at it! Simple.
I get so tired of hearing about how "insensitive" everything is these days...GROW UP!
Life sucks, then you die.
And yes, I know what it's like to lose my job...and my company...and my marriage. I'm a -REAL- person too. And, I think the commercial is funny and memorable from a viewer's standpoint...which means it succeeded in at least one case.
Jeesh! What's next? Banning cosmetic ads because cosmetics are tested in the eyes of bunny rabbits? Or because they used to be? How about banning nylon pantyhose ads because nylon is also used in fishing nets, and fishing nets can be used in areas where dolphins are, and those nets can sometimes snag a dolphin?
Darn it! And I was in such a good mood...

I'm a big fan of all their commercials especially the "Paper Airplane" series and the "Mockumentary."
"Mockumentary" is one of the newer ones, its well done, and I have to love the pilot, "We takeoff, fly around for awhile, then land.....somewhere else."
Check them all out at:

Its the same as the link above, but again for convenience doesnt hurt

Man, this thread itself made me laugh more than the commercials...
Fallout, sounds like you need to lighten up yourself before you go telling others to, lol. Your whole little rant was much more intense, if you will, than OPNLguy's or anyone elses. And learn to lighten up on the exclamation points; they lose their meaning after you use them at then end of 6 of your first 7 sentences.
Have a good day all!

I agree with Pl4nekr4zy, the thread is quite humerous, moreso than the commercial. If you take the commercial that seriously, the above joke applies to you.

RE: Lmao Pilot Joke/commercial
Question for ye Jetblue fans out there... many of those ads talk about flying new planes. What does Jetblue plan to do when those A320's get some to their midlife crisis? Do they plan on turning over their fleet, dumping those A320's on someone else, are they leased?
Cute ads btw Now if only Jetblue flew to any of my destinations or my departure city, I'd give 'em a try

It's sad to say, but airline pilots have a much higher divorce rate than the norm. It's due to being away so often. The women don't like it. It takes a very strong marriage to make it through all the years of separation from trips.
I have seen it many times.
