On the recordSeptember 5, 2002
I want to make the point, though, as you name the names of folks who are good folks and good business-people--some better business-people than others--they have not embraced a lot of things that you and I embrace. In this case you agree with them, But they are not in the planes. They fly around in their own corporate jets. I say to my friend, it is the flight attendants, the pilots, and the passengers in the planes. I honestly think if you want to look to who the leaders are on safety, I would rather look to the pilots and the flight attendants. But I know my friend feels very strongly about the cockpit doors, and I so agree with him. The Kevlar doors, which have been put into some of the JetBlue planes, to me, are a tremendous answer because you cannot penetrate that Kevlar door if it is kept shut. So I want to know if my friend had seen a demonstration of that Kevlar. And as we work together on the committee, I want to work with you on those doors.
