Will JetBlue move its headquarters from New York to Orlando? - Flights: Airfare, flight tracker, delays, miles tracker & airport news - Today in the Sky - USATODAY.com

They will have their decision by sometime in march, and if they decide to do it, they won't move till 2012 when their lease is up in NY. This will also be around the time when the new medical city starts opening up, bringing thousands of more high paying jobs to the area.

It'd be great if the move happens. Jet Blue is a great airline.

yea i know, it would only make sense for them to just move the whole thing here. Most jet blue employees start there careers in Orlando anyways because the training is done in the new training facility they made at here in 2005.

I hope the local politicians are doing everything in their power to make this happen--we can use the jobs.

This may be pure speculation but I heard a while back that the decision will be based, in part, on how the downtown venues are progressing. Among the factors they consider in their decision is quality of life and culture. I believe at the time they started seriously considering Orlando the arena, Citrus Bowl and, most importantly, Performing Arts Center were all on steady footing. If we can get these projects back on track it will help considerably in landing this great move. In addition to the lower cost of living and no state tax, we have to convince them that we have some comparable amenities of living in NYC.

Are we talking headquarters (offices) or hub (operations)? Big difference.
