EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of JetBlue Airways
Corporation for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on July 27, 2010, is being filed to restate our condensed consolidated financial
statements and other financial information to properly account for the expiration of points and
awards in the Companys customer loyalty program, TrueBlue. Management determined certain
financial amounts reflected in Items 1 and 2 as well as Exhibit 12.1 to our originally filed Form
10-Q needed to be restated to reflect this adjustment. The amended items have been amended and
restated in their entirety. Other than as described below, no other changes have been made to the
original Form 10-Q.
As more fully described in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, in
connection with our fourth quarter of 2010 analysis of the winding down of the liability for TrueBlue points and awards outstanding when
our original TrueBlue program was replaced, management concluded in
January 2011, that there was an error
in accounting for certain points and awards that had previously expired. As a result of this accounting error, revenue, net income, earnings per share and
retained earnings were all understated in previously reported consolidated financial statements for
the years ended 2007, 2008, and 2009 as well as for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010. The impact on our consolidated balance sheets was primarily
an understatement to retained earnings offset by an overstatement of air traffic liability. There
was no impact to previously reported total cash flows from operations, investing or financing
activities. We also corrected smaller errors related to the calculation of interest expense, and
have included these corrections in our condensed consolidated financial results in this Form
10-Q/A.
As a result of this restatement, we have revised Item 4, Controls and Procedures, and have
included new certifications pursuant to Section 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as
reflected in Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, and 32.1.
Except as set forth above, this Form 10-Q/A does not modify or update other disclosures in the
original Form 10-Q, including the nature and character of such disclosure to reflect events
occurring after the filing date of the original Form 10-Q. While we are amending only certain
portions of our Form 10-Q, for convenience and ease of reference, we are filing the entire Form
10-Q, except for certain exhibits. The disclosures in this amendment do not reflect events
occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this amendment should be read in
conjunction with our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to
the filing of the originally filed Form 10-Q, including any amendments to those filings, as
information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in those filings
as well as in this amendment.

JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2010
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of JetBlue Airways Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively we or the Company, with all
intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. These condensed consolidated
financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our 2009 audited
financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2009, or our 2009 Form 10-K.
These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by us
following the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and, in
our opinion, reflect all adjustments including normal recurring items which are necessary to
present fairly the results for interim periods. Our revenues are recorded net of excise and other
related taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations; however, we believe that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Operating results for the periods
presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
year.
Loyalty Program: During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized approximately $5
million of other revenue related to the minimum point sales guarantee associated with our
co-branded credit card, leaving $11 million deferred and included in our air traffic liability.
New Accounting Pronouncements: Effective January 1, 2010, we adopted the guidance for
Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance, under
the debt topic of the Financial Accounting Standard Boards Codification, or Codification, which
changes the accounting for equity share lending arrangements on an entitys own shares when
executed in contemplation of a convertible debt offering. This new guidance requires share lending
arrangements be measured at fair value and recognized as an issuance cost. These issuance costs
are then amortized and recognized as interest expense over the life of the financing arrangement.
Shares loaned under these arrangements are excluded from computation of earnings per share.
Retrospective application is required for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of the
fiscal year. As described more fully in our 2009 Form 10-K, we lent 44.9 million shares of our
common stock in conjunction with our 2008 $201 million convertible debt issuance, which is subject
to this new guidance. Our share lending agreement requires that the shares borrowed be returned
upon the maturity of the related debt, October 2038, or earlier, if the debentures are no longer
outstanding.
We determined the fair value of the share lending arrangement was approximately $5 million at
the date of the issuance based on the value of the estimated fees the shares loaned would have
generated over the term of the share lending arrangement. We have retrospectively applied this
change in accounting to affected accounts for all periods presented. The $5 million fair value was
recognized as a debt issuance cost and is being amortized to interest expense through the earliest
put date of the related debt, October 2013 and October 2015 for Series A and Series B,
respectively. For 2008, adoption of this new accounting treatment resulted in approximately $2
million of additional interest expense, an increase in net loss of approximately $1 million and had
no impact on earnings (loss) per share. For 2009, this adoption resulted in an insignificant
increase in interest expense and had no overall impact on net income or earnings per share. As of
June 30, 2010, approximately $2 million of net debt issuance costs remain outstanding related to
the share lending arrangement and will continue to be amortized through the earliest put date of
the related debt. We estimate that the $2 million value of the shares remaining outstanding under
the share lending arrangement approximates their fair value as of June 30, 2010.
6
Effective January 1, 2010, we adopted the latest provisions in the Codification related to the
accounting for an entitys involvement with variable interest entities, or VIEs. Under these
rules, the quantitative based method of
determining if an entity is the primary beneficiary was replaced with the entitys assessment
on an ongoing basis of which entity has the power to direct activities of the VIE and the
obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE. Adoption of
these new rules had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2009, the EITF reached final consensus on updates to the Codifications Revenue
Recognition rules, which changes the accounting for certain revenue arrangements. The new
requirements change the allocation methods used in determining how to account for multiple element
arrangements and will result in the ability to separately account for more deliverables, and
potentially less revenue deferrals. Additionally, this new accounting treatment will require
enhanced disclosures in financial statements. The new rule is effective for revenue arrangements
entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010 on a prospective
basis, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on
our financial statements.
Note 2 Stock-Based Compensation
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we granted approximately 1.9 million restricted
stock units under our Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, at a weighted average grant
date fair value of $5.28 per share. We issued approximately 1.1 million shares of our common stock
in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
At June 30, 2010, 4.0 million restricted stock units were unvested with a weighted average grant
date fair value of $5.14 per share.
Note 3 Long-term Debt, Short-term Borrowings, and Capital Lease Obligations
$250 million 3.75% Convertible Debentures due 2035
In March 2010, on the first repurchase date, holders of the $156 million outstanding of our
3.75% convertible debentures due 2035 required us to repurchase approximately $155 million
aggregate principal amount of debentures at par, plus accrued interest.
UBS Line of Credit
In March 2010, our line of credit with UBS Securities LLC and UBS Financial Services Inc, or
UBS, was increased to $63 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, certain auction
rate securities, or ARS, securing this line of credit were redeemed by their issuers and the
proceeds were used to reduce the line of credit to $40 million as of June 30, 2010. In July 2010,
we sold at par value the remaining $49 million of ARS securing this line of credit and used the
proceeds to pay off the outstanding balance on this line of credit.
Other Indebtedness
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we issued $47 million in fixed rate equipment notes
due through 2025 and $19 million in non-public floating rate equipment notes due through 2015,
which are secured by two new EMBRAER 190 aircraft and four previously unfinanced spare engines.
Aircraft, engines and other equipment and facilities having a net book value of $3.60 billion
at June 30, 2010 were pledged as security under various loan agreements.
Our outstanding debt and capital lease obligations were reduced by $274 million as a result of
principal payments made during the six months ended June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, the weighted
average interest rate of all of our long-term debt was 4.43% and scheduled maturities were $131
million for the remainder of 2010, $181 million in 2011, $182 million in 2012, $380 million in
2013, $600 million in 2014 and $1.64 billion thereafter.

The estimated fair values of our publicly held long-term debt were based on quoted market
prices or other observable market inputs when instruments are not actively traded. The fair value
of our non-public debt was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on our borrowing
rates for instruments with similar terms. The fair values of our other financial instruments
approximate their carrying values.
We utilize a policy provider to provide credit support on the Class G-1 and Class G-2
certificates. The policy provider has unconditionally guaranteed the payment of interest on the
certificates when due and the payment of principal on the certificates no later than 18 months
after the final expected regular distribution date. The policy provider is MBIA Insurance
Corporation (a subsidiary of MBIA, Inc.).
Note 4 Comprehensive Income / (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes changes in fair value of our aircraft fuel derivatives
and interest rate swap agreements, which qualify for hedge accounting. The differences between net
income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for each of these periods are as follows (dollars are

As of June 30, 2010, a total of approximately 18.0 million shares of our common stock, which
were lent to our share borrower pursuant to the terms of our share lending agreement in which we
initially loaned 44.9 million shares of our common stock in conjunction with our 2008 $201 million
convertible debt issuance, as described more fully in Note 2 to our 2009 Form 10-K, were issued and
outstanding for corporate law purposes, and holders of the borrowed shares have all the rights of a
holder of our common stock. However, because the share borrower must return all borrowed shares to
us (or identical shares or, in certain circumstances of default by the counterparty, the cash value
thereof), the borrowed shares are not considered outstanding for the purpose of computing and
reporting basic or diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Note 6 Employee Retirement Plan
We sponsor a retirement savings 401(k) defined contribution plan, or the Plan, a component of
which is a profit sharing plan. All employees are eligible to participate in the Plan. Our
contributions expensed for the Plan for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $13
million and $11 million, respectively, and contributions expensed for the Plan for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $27 million and $23 million, respectively.
Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies
In February 2010, we amended our Airbus A320 purchase agreement, deferring six aircraft
previously scheduled for delivery in 2011 and 2012 to 2015. This amendment had the effect of
reducing our 2010
10
capital expenditures by $40 million in related predelivery deposits, which will
be required to be made in future periods.
As of June 30, 2010, our firm aircraft orders consisted of 55 Airbus A320 aircraft, 58 EMBRAER
190 aircraft and 17 spare engines scheduled for delivery through 2018. Committed expenditures for
these aircraft, including the related flight equipment and estimated amounts for contractual price
escalations and predelivery deposits, are approximately $115 million for the remainder of 2010,
$425 million in 2011, $715 million in 2012, $815 million in 2013, $765 million in 2014 and $1.65
billion thereafter.
In addition to our purchase commitments above, in April 2010, we signed a letter of intent and
plan to lease seven used Airbus A320 aircraft from a third party. We subsequently agreed to lease
only six aircraft, which are scheduled to be delivered later in 2010. The terms of these operating
leases are still being negotiated.
As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately $30 million of restricted assets pledged under
standby letters of credit related to certain of our leases which will expire at the end of the
related lease terms. Additionally, we had $19 million pledged related to our workers compensation
insurance policies and other business partner agreements, which will expire according to the terms
of the related policies or agreements.
In March 2010, we announced we will be combining our Darien, CT and Forest Hills, NY corporate
offices and relocating to a new corporate headquarters in Long Island City, NY. As of June 30,
2010, we do not have any material commitments related to this corporate move, which is currently
scheduled to commence in 2011.
Note 8 Financial Derivative Instruments and Risk Management
As part of our risk management strategy, we periodically purchase crude or heating oil option
contracts or swap agreements to manage our exposure to the effect of changes in the price and
availability of aircraft fuel. Prices for these commodities are normally highly correlated to
aircraft fuel, making derivatives of them effective at providing short-term protection against
sharp increases in average fuel prices. We also periodically enter into basis swaps for the
differential between heating oil and jet fuel, as well as jet fuel swaps, to further limit the
variability in fuel prices at various locations. To manage the variability of the cash flows
associated with our variable rate debt, we have also entered into interest rate swaps. We do not
hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Aircraft fuel derivatives: We attempt to obtain cash flow hedge accounting treatment for each
aircraft fuel derivative that we enter into. This treatment is provided for under the Derivatives
and Hedging topic of the Codification, which allows for gains and losses on the effective portion
of qualifying hedges to be deferred until the underlying planned jet fuel consumption occurs,
rather than recognizing the gains and losses on these instruments into earnings for each period
they are outstanding. The effective portion of realized aircraft fuel hedging derivative gains and
losses is recognized in fuel expense, while ineffective gains and losses are recognized in interest
income and other. All cash flows related to our fuel hedging derivatives are classified as
operating cash flows.
Ineffectiveness results, in certain circumstances, when the change in the total fair value of
the derivative instrument differs from the change in the value of our expected future cash outlays
for the purchase of aircraft fuel and is recognized in interest income and other immediately.
Likewise, if a hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting, the periodic changes in its fair values
are recognized in interest income and other in the period of the change. When aircraft fuel is
consumed and the related derivative contract settles, any gain or loss previously deferred in other
comprehensive income is recognized in aircraft fuel expense.
Our current approach to fuel hedging is to enter into hedges on a discretionary basis without
a specific target of hedge percentage needs in order to mitigate the liquidity issues and cap fuel
prices, when possible.
The following table illustrates the approximate hedged percentages of our projected fuel usage
by quarter as of June 30, 2010, related to our outstanding fuel hedging contracts that were
designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

In April 2010, we sold some of our outstanding crude oil cap agreements scheduled to settle in
the third and fourth quarter of 2010 back to the original counterparties for a slight gain. We
simultaneously entered into jet fuel swap agreements for the same quantity and duration, and as a
result maintained the same level of overall hedge positions for the third and fourth quarter of
2010.
We also enter into basis swaps and certain jet fuel swap agreements, which we do not designate
as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and adjust their fair value through earnings each
period based on their current fair value.
Interest rate swaps: The interest rate hedges we had outstanding as of June 30, 2010
effectively swap floating rate for fixed rate, taking advantage of lower borrowing rates in
existence at the time of the hedge transaction as compared to the date our original debt
instruments were executed. As of June 30, 2010, we had $392 million in notional debt outstanding
related to these swaps, which cover certain interest payments through August 2016. The notional
amount decreases over time to match scheduled repayments of the related debt.
All of our outstanding interest rate swap contracts qualify as cash flow hedges in accordance
with the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification. Since all of the critical terms of our
swap agreements match the debt to which they pertain, there was no ineffectiveness relating to
these interest rate swaps in 2010 or 2009, and all related unrealized losses were deferred in
accumulated other comprehensive income. We recognized approximately $4 million and $2 million in
additional interest expense as the related interest payments were made during the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Any outstanding derivative instrument exposes us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the counterparties to the agreements, but we do not expect that any of our four counterparties
will fail to meet their obligations. The amount of such credit exposure is generally the fair value
of our outstanding contracts. To manage credit risks, we select counterparties based on credit
assessments, limit our overall exposure to any single counterparty and monitor the market position
with each counterparty. All of our agreements require cash deposits if market risk exposure exceeds
a specified threshold amount.
The financial derivative instrument agreements we have with our counterparties may require us
to fund all, or a portion of, outstanding loss positions related to these contracts prior to their
scheduled maturities. The amount of collateral posted, if any, is periodically adjusted based on
the fair value of the hedge contracts. Our policy is to offset the liabilities represented by
these contracts with any cash collateral paid to the counterparties. We did not have any
collateral posted related to our outstanding fuel hedge contracts at June 30, 2010 or December 31,
2009. The table below reflects a summary of our collateral balances (in millions).

Note 9 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Codification, disclosures are
required about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and a hierarchy for which
these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
13
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or |
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations. |
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a
listing of our assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis
and where they are classified within the hierarchy as of June 30, 2010 (in millions).

Cash and cash equivalents: Our cash and cash equivalents include money market securities and
trade deposits and commercial paper which are readily convertible into cash with maturities of
three months or less when purchased. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active
markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as level 1 within our fair value
hierarchy.
Investment securities: We held various investment securities at June 30, 2010 and December 31,
2009. When sold, we use a specific identification method to determine the cost of the securities.

Available-for-sale investment securities: Included in our available-for-sale investment
securities are certificate of deposits placed through an account registry service, or CDARS, and
commercial paper with original maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year. At December
31, 2009, we also held asset backed securities, which are considered variable rate demand notes
with contractual maturities generally greater than ten years with interest reset dates often every
30 days or less. The fair values of these investments are based on observable market data. We did
not record any significant gains or losses on these securities during the six months ended June 30,
2010.
Held-to-maturity investment securities: During 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010, we
purchased various corporate bonds. Those with original maturities less than twelve months are
included in short-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and those with
original maturities in excess of twelve months are included in long-term investments on our
condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these investments is based on observable
market data. We did not record any significant gains or losses on these securities during the six
months ended June 30, 2010
Auction rate securities: At June 30, 2010, the fair values of our ARS all of which are
collateralized by student loan portfolios (substantially all of which are guaranteed by the United
States Government), were estimated through discounted cash flow models. Since these inputs were
not observable, they are classified as level 3 inputs. For the three months ended June 30, 2009,
we recorded an unrealized holding gain on our ARS of $8 million, based on the then current fair
value. We classify our ARS as trading securities and therefore measure at each reporting period
with the resulting gain (loss) recognized in other income (expense). Our discounted cash flow
analysis considered, among other things, the quality of the underlying collateral, the credit
rating of the issuers, an estimate of when these securities are either expected to have a
successful auction or otherwise return to par value, expected interest income to be received over
this period, and the estimated required rate of return for investors. Because of the inherent
subjectivity in valuing these securities, we also considered independent valuations obtained for
each of our ARS as of June 30, 2009 in estimating their fair values.
In July 2010, the remaining $49 million par value of ARS were repurchased at par by UBS in
accordance with the settlement agreement with them as described more fully in Note 14 of our 2009
Form 10-K. The proceeds were used to terminate the outstanding balance on the line of credit with
UBS.
Put option related to ARS: We have elected to apply the fair value option under the Financial
Instruments topic of the Codification, to UBSs agreement to repurchase, at par, ARS brokered by
them. We have done so in order to closely conform to our treatment of the underlying ARS. As of
June 30, 2010, the $7 million fair value of this put option is included in other current assets in
our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any gain (loss) resulting from an adjustment of the
fair value is included in other income (expense). The change in fair value was insignificant
during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fair value of the put option
is based on unobservable inputs and is therefore classified as level 3 in the hierarchy.
Interest Rate Swaps: The fair values of our interest rate swaps are initially based on inputs
received from the counterparty. These values were corroborated by adjusting the active swap
indications in quoted markets for similar terms (6 8 years) for the specific terms within our
swap agreements. Since some of these inputs were not observable, they are classified as level 3
inputs in the hierarchy.
Aircraft fuel derivatives: Our heating oil and jet fuel swaps, heating oil collars, and crude
oil caps are not traded on public exchanges. Their fair values are determined using a market
approach based on inputs that are readily available from public markets for commodities and energy
trading activities; therefore, they are classified as level 2 inputs. The data inputs are combined
into quantitative models and processes to generate forward curves and volatilities related to the
specific terms of the underlying hedge contracts.
Note 10 Stockholders Equity
In May 2010, at our annual meeting of stockholders, shareholders approved an amendment to our

Note 11 Restatement
Correction of error
In
connection with our fourth quarter of 2010 analysis of the winding down of the liability for TrueBlue points and awards outstanding
when our original TrueBlue program was replaced by an enhanced customer loyalty program described
in Note 1 to our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, we determined
that as of June 30, 2010, there was an error in our
prior accounting for approximately $13 million of points and
awards that had previously expired. As a result of this accounting error,
revenue, net income, earnings per share and retained earnings were all understated in previously
reported consolidated financial statements for the years ended 2007,
2008 and 2009 as well as for the quarterly periods reported for 2010. Management
determined that our previously issued consolidated financial statements should be restated to
properly reflect the non-cash revenue for expired TrueBlue points and awards in the periods in
which expiration occurred. We also corrected smaller errors related to our calculation of interest
expense.
The effects of these changes on our consolidated statements of operations are summarized as follows
(amounts in millions, except per share amounts):

|
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(RESTATED) |
Outlook
Overall economic conditions continued to show signs of improvement during the second quarter
with airlines benefiting from the global economic recovery in the form of increased demand and
improved yield. Our average fare for the second quarter increased 10% to $139.20 over the same
period in 2009. The stronger fare environment and our ability to attract and retain higher
yielding customers have contributed to better than expected revenue gains. While we remain
optimistic the revenue environment will continue to improve throughout 2010, a competitive industry
landscape is ever present, and as such we will continue to focus on striving to achieve our
long-term sustainable growth goals. For us to achieve these goals, we plan to continue to maximize
network profitability, build and maintain our financial strength, control costs and enhance our
unique culture.
We continue our focus on key growth regions, including Boston, New York, and the Caribbean and
Latin America by building upon our leisure markets and strong visiting friends and relatives travel
while leveraging our presence as the largest domestic carrier at both John F. Kennedy Airport, or
JFK, and Bostons Logan International Airport, or Boston. In doing so, we continue to expand our
portfolio of strategic commercial partnerships. In May 2010, we announced an interline agreement
with South African Airways allowing customers to connect between all of our current destinations
and 40 cities in the South African Airways network via JFK. We also continue to expand in Boston
with new destinations and increased frequencies to existing markets, and as a result we are now the
largest carrier serving Boston. We believe that optimizing our schedule across our network and
building upon the success of our revamped loyalty program, TrueBlue, has increased our relevance to
the business traveler and allows us to further grow and strengthen our network.
We commenced service to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in May 2010, and have announced plans
to begin service to Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC and Hartford, CT in November
2010. Our disciplined overall growth includes managing the growth, size, age, and type of aircraft
in our fleet. With new opportunities, including slots at Washington National and commercial
partnerships, we have agreed to take delivery of six used Airbus A320 aircraft from a third party
later this year, which are in addition to our purchase commitments with Airbus. We expect to
execute operating leases for these six aircraft, the terms of which are still being negotiated.
Including these six used aircraft, we expect our operating aircraft to consist of 116 Airbus A320
aircraft and 45 EMBRAER 190 aircraft at the end of 2010. We have one of the youngest and most fuel
efficient fleets in the industry, with an average age of 4.8 years, which we believe gives us a
competitive advantage.
We continue to reap the benefits of our recent investment in a new integrated customer service
system, which we implemented in the first quarter of 2010 and which we believe better positions us
for our long-term growth. These benefits include several near-term opportunities such as improved
pricing and revenue management capabilities, higher yielding traffic from increased participation
in global distribution systems, additional ancillary revenue opportunities, and facilitating future
commercial partnerships.
We also remain committed to our financial goals, including a commitment to generating positive
free cash flow, maintaining an adequate liquidity position, and rigorously focusing on cost
control. However, costs presented a challenge in the first half of 2010. As expected, we incurred
one time implementation costs associated with our new integrated customer service system, as well
as overall higher technology infrastructure costs. Additionally, the winter storm season was more
severe than recent years. All of these factors pressured our costs per available seat mile, or
CASM, excluding fuel. Unlike most airlines, we have a policy of not furloughing crewmembers during
economic downturns and a non-union workforce, which we believe provides us with more flexibility
and allows us to be more productive. Historically, our distribution costs tend to be lower than
those of most other airlines on a per unit basis because the majority of our customers book
directly through our website or our agents; however, with our new customer service system, real
time global distribution system, or GDS, connectivity has increased the number of bookings through
these more expensive channels, which has increased our distribution costs.
20
The price and availability of aircraft fuel, which is our single largest operating expense,
are extremely volatile due to global economic and geopolitical factors that we can neither control
nor accurately predict. Fuel prices have been on the rise in 2010, climbing to levels not seen
since the end of 2008. In response, we continue to actively build our portfolio of fuel hedges. We
effectively hedged 55% of our total first half of 2010 fuel consumption. As of June 30, 2010, we
had outstanding fuel hedge contracts covering approximately 47% of our forecasted consumption for
the third quarter of 2010, 50% for the full year 2010, and 14% for the full year 2011. We will
continue to monitor fuel prices closely and take advantage of fuel hedging opportunities in order
to mitigate our liquidity exposure and provide some level of protection against significant
volatility and further increases in fuel prices.
We expect our full-year operating capacity to increase approximately 6% to 8% over 2009
primarily as a result of the maturation of cities added over the past year, as well as the addition
of four EMBRAER 190 and six Airbus A320 aircraft to our operating fleet. Revenue per available
seat mile, or RASM, is expected to improve between 8% and 11% over 2009, which reflects the
improving demand and pricing environments, maturation of markets we previously opened, and some
improved capabilities in the later part of the year associated with our new customer service
system. Assuming fuel prices of $2.28 per gallon, including fuel taxes and net of effective
hedges, our cost per available seat mile for 2010 is expected to increase by 6% to 8% over 2009.
This expected increase is a result of higher fuel prices, higher overall technology infrastructure
costs, higher salaries and wages due to the pilot wage increases implemented in June of 2009,
higher maintenance costs and the one-time costs associated with transitioning to our new customer
service system.
Results of Operations
Our operating revenue per available seat mile for the quarter increased 10% over the same
period in 2009. Our average fares for the quarter increased 10% over 2009 to $139.20, while our
load factor increased 2.5 points to 82.0% from a year ago. Our on-time performance, defined by
the Department of Transportation, or DOT, as arrival within 14 minutes of schedule, was 83.2%
in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 75.1% for the same period in 2009, while our completion
factor was 99.2% and 98.6% in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
We
reported net income of $31 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to
$21 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Diluted earnings per share were $0.10 for the
second quarter of 2010 compared to $0.07 for 2009. Our operating income for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 was $95 million compared to $77 million for the same period last year, and our
pre-tax margin increased 0.9 points from 2009 to 5.6%.
Operating
Revenues. Operating revenues increased 16%, or $132 million, over the
same period in 2009, primarily due to an 18%, or $129 million, increase in passenger revenues. The
increase in passenger revenues was largely attributable to a 5% increase in capacity along with an
8% increase in yield over the second quarter of 2009. This includes the positive impact of
improved pricing capabilities and increased participation in GDSs as a result of our new customer
service system. Additionally, our Even More Legroom fees increased approximately $4 million.
Other revenue increased 5%, or $3 million, primarily due to a $4 million increase in marketing
related revenues and a $2 million increase in baggage fees offset by a reduction in rental income
and lower LiveTV third party revenues.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased 16%, or $114 million, over the same period
in 2009, primarily due to higher fuel prices, increased salaries, wages, and benefits related to
pilot pay increases implemented in mid 2009, higher technology related operating expenses, and
increased
21
maintenance costs. Operating capacity increased 5% to 8.69 billion available seat miles.
Operating expenses per available seat mile increased 10% to 9.72 cents for the three months ended
June 30, 2010. Excluding fuel, our cost per available seat mile for the three months ended June 30,
2010 was 8% higher compared to the same period in 2009. In detail, operating costs per available
seat mile were as follows (percent changes are based on unrounded numbers):

Aircraft fuel expense increased 18%, or $43 million, due to a 12% increase in average fuel
cost per gallon, or $30 million after the impact of fuel hedging, and an increase of six million
gallons of aircraft fuel consumed, resulting in $13 million in additional fuel expense. We
recorded $2 million in effective fuel hedge losses during the second quarter of 2010 versus $42
million in effective fuel hedge losses during the same period in 2009. Our average fuel cost per
gallon was $2.30 for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $2.05 for the second quarter of 2009.
Cost per available seat mile increased 12% primarily due to the increase in fuel price.
Salaries, wages and benefits increased 13%, or $26 million, primarily due to an increase in
full-time equivalent employees and increases in wages and related benefits under our pilot
employment agreements implemented in June 2009. Cost per available seat mile increased 8%
primarily due to an increase in full-time equivalent employees.
Landing fees and other rents increased 7%, or $4 million, due to a 2% increase in departures
over 2009 and an increase in landing fee and airport rental rates.
Depreciation and amortization decreased 5%, or $2 million, primarily due to our purchased
technology becoming fully amortized in late 2009. This decrease was offset by having an average of
96 owned and capital leased aircraft in 2010 compared to 93 in 2009 and increased software
amortization related to our new customer service system.
Sales and marketing expense increased 13%, or $5 million, due to $4 million in higher
commissions in 2010 related to our increased participation in GDSs and online travel agencies and
$4 million in higher credit card fees resulting from the increased average fares, offset by $3
million in lower advertising costs. On a cost per available seat mile basis, sales and marketing
expense increased 7% primarily due to increased fares and distribution costs resulting from the
enhanced capabilities of our new customer service system.
Maintenance, materials, and repairs increased 23%, or $7 million, due to three additional
average operating aircraft in 2010, compared to the same period in 2009 and the gradual aging of
our fleet. The
22
average age of our fleet increased to 4.8 years as of June 30, 2010 compared to 3.8
years as of June 30, 2009. Maintenance expense is expected to increase significantly as our fleet
ages, resulting in the need for additional repairs over time. Cost per available seat mile
increased 17% primarily due to the gradual aging of our fleet.
Other operating expenses increased 36%, or $32 million, primarily due to technology
infrastructure related costs. Variable costs increased as a result of 2% more departures versus
2009, and operating out of eight additional cities opened throughout 2009. Other operating
expenses were offset in 2009 by $11 million for certain tax incentives. Cost per available seat
mile increased 29% primarily due to technology infrastructure related costs.
Other Income (Expense). Interest expense decreased 12%, or $6 million, primarily due to lower
interest rates.
Interest income and other decreased $8 million, primarily due to a $6 million gain recorded in
2009 related to the valuation of our auction rate securities, or ARS, and related put option.
Accounting ineffectiveness on our crude and heating oil derivative instruments classified as cash
flow hedges resulted in a $2 million loss in 2010, compared to an immaterial amount in 2009. We are
unable to predict what the amount of ineffectiveness will be related to these instruments, or the
potential loss of hedge accounting, which is determined on a derivative-by-derivative basis, due to
the volatility in the forward markets for these commodities.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
We
reported net income of $30 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $34
million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Diluted earnings
per share were $0.11 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.11 for the same period in 2009. Our operating income for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $138 million compared to $152 million for the same period
last year, and our pre-tax margin decreased 0.9 points from 2009.
Operating
Revenues. Operating revenues increased 13%, or $208 million, over the
same period in 2009, primarily due to a 14%, or $207 million, increase in passenger revenues. The
increase in passenger revenues was largely attributable to a 6% increase in capacity along with a
6% increase in yield over the first half of 2009, amounts which include capacity reductions during
the initial cutover period to our new customer service system in the first quarter. Additionally,
we had an $8 million increase in Even More Legroom fees as a result of increased capacity and
revised pricing.
Other revenue remained relatively flat, increasing 1%, or $1 million, primarily due to an $8
million increase in marketing related revenues offset by a $6 million reduction in change fees as a
result of several change fee waivers during the first half of 2010 in conjunction with our new
system migration.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased 15%, or $222 million, over the same period
in 2009, primarily due to higher fuel prices and an increase in other operating expenses including
the one time implementation related expenses related to our new customer service system and overall
higher technology infrastructure costs. Additionally, operating expenses increased due to higher
salaries, wages, and benefits related to pilot pay increases implemented in mid 2009 and increased
maintenance costs. Operating capacity increased 6% to 17.11 billion available seat miles, despite
capacity reductions during our initial cutover period to our new customer service system.
Operating expenses per available seat mile increased 9% to 9.77 cents for the six months ended June
30, 2010. Excluding fuel, our cost per available seat mile for the six months ended June 30, 2010
was 9% higher compared to the same period in 2009. In detail, operating costs per available seat
mile were as follows (percent changes are based on unrounded numbers):

Aircraft fuel expense increased 16%, or $75 million, due to a 10% increase in average fuel
cost per gallon, or $48 million after the impact of fuel hedging, and an increase of 13 million
gallons of aircraft fuel consumed, resulting in $27 million in additional fuel expense. We
recorded an immaterial amount in effective fuel hedge losses during 2010 versus $98 million in
effective fuel hedge losses during 2009. Our average fuel cost per gallon was $2.25 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $2.04 for the same period in 2009. Cost per available seat
mile increased 10% primarily due to the increase in fuel price.
Salaries, wages and benefits increased 16%, or $60 million, primarily due to increases in
wages and related benefits under our pilot employment agreements implemented in June 2009. We also
incurred an additional $6 million associated with higher staffing levels in the first quarter
related to the implementation of our new customer service system. Cost per available seat mile
increased 9% primarily due to an increase in full-time equivalent employees.
Landing fees and other rents increased 8%, or $8 million, due to a 2% increase in departures
over 2009 and an increase in landing fee and airport rental rates associated with expanded
operations in certain markets. Cost per available seat mile increased 2% due to increased rates.
Depreciation and amortization remained flat. We had an average of 96 owned and capital leased
aircraft in 2010 compared to 91 in 2009 and increased software amortization related to our new
customer service system. This increase in depreciation was offset by our purchased technology
becoming fully amortized in late 2009. Cost per available seat mile decreased 6% due to increased
capacity.
Sales and marketing expense increased 11%, or $8 million, due to $7 million in higher
commissions in 2010 related to our increased participation in GDSs and OTAs and $6 million in
higher credit card fees resulting from the increased average fares, offset by $5 million in lower
advertising costs. On a cost per available seat mile basis, sales and marketing expense increased
5% primarily due to increased distribution costs resulting from the enhanced capabilities of our
new customer service system.
Maintenance, materials, and repairs increased 13%, or $9 million, due to five additional
average operating aircraft in 2010, compared to the same period in 2009 and the gradual aging of
our fleet. The average age of our fleet increased to 4.8 years as of June 30, 2010 compared to 3.8
years as of June 30, 2009. Maintenance expense is expected to increase significantly as our fleet
ages, resulting in the need for additional repairs over time. Cost per available seat mile
increased 7% primarily due to the gradual aging of our fleet.
24
Other operating expenses increased 34%, or $64 million, primarily due to increased costs
related to the implementation of our new customer service system. We incurred approximately $13
million in one time, non-recurring implementation of our new customer service system related
expenses as well as higher other technology infrastructure related costs. Additionally, variable
costs increased as a result of 2% more departures versus 2009, a severe winter storm season, and
operating out of eight additional cities opened throughout 2009. Other operating expenses were
offset in 2009 by $11 million for certain tax incentives. Cost per available seat mile increased
27% primarily due to the implementation costs associated with our new customer service system.
Other Income (Expense). Interest expense decreased 9%, or $8 million, primarily due to lower
interest rates and a lower principal balance of debt outstanding.
Interest income and other decreased 35% primarily due to a $2 million loss recorded in 2009
related to the valuation of our ARS and related put option. This was slightly offset by lower
interest rates earned on investments. Accounting ineffectiveness on our crude and heating oil
derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges was a loss of $2 million in 2010, compared to
an immaterial amount in 2009. We are unable
to predict what the amount of ineffectiveness will be related to these instruments, or the
potential loss of hedge accounting, which is determined on a derivative-by-derivative basis, due to
the volatility in the forward markets for these commodities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2010, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $477 million and short term
investments of $513 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $896 million and short term
investments of $240 million at December 31, 2009. Cash flows from operating activities were $356
million and $225 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The
increase in operating cash flows reflects the 8% increase in average fares and the 10% higher price
of fuel in 2010 compared to 2009. We rely primarily on operating cash flows to provide working
capital. At June 30, 2010, we had one line of credit totaling $40 million, which was secured by
our ARS, and was fully drawn as of June 30, 2010. In July 2010, this line of credit was repaid and
closed.
Investing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, capital expenditures related
to our purchase of flight equipment included $65 million for two aircraft and two spare engines,
$20 million for flight equipment deposits and $8 million for spare part purchases. Capital
expenditures for other property and equipment, including ground equipment purchases, facilities
improvements, and LiveTV inventory, were $58 million. Investing activities also included the net
purchase of $437 million in investment securities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, capital expenditures related to our purchase of
flight equipment included $303 million for 11 aircraft and two spare engines, $15 million for
flight equipment deposits and $8 million for spare part purchases. Capital expenditures for other
property and equipment, including ground equipment purchases and facilities improvements, were $31
million. Proceeds from the sale of two aircraft were $58 million. Investing activities also
included $29 million in proceeds from the sale of certain ARS.
Financing Activities. Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted
of (1), the required repurchase of $155 million of our 3.75% convertible debentures due 2035, (2)
repaying a net $17 million on our line of credit collateralized by our ARS, (3) scheduled
maturities of $84 million of debt and capital lease obligations, (4) our issuance of $47 million in
fixed rate equipment notes and $19 million in non-public floating rate equipment notes secured by
two EMBRAER 190 aircraft and four spare engines, and (5) reimbursement of construction costs
incurred for Terminal 5 of $9 million.
We currently have an automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC relating to
our sale, from time to time, of one or more public offerings of debt securities, pass-through
certificates, common stock, preferred stock and/or other securities. The net proceeds of any
securities we sell under this registration statement may be used to fund working capital and
capital expenditures, including the purchase of aircraft and construction of facilities on or near
airports. Through June 30, 2010, we have not issued any securities under this registration
statement. At this time, we have no plans to sell securities under this registration statement.
Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 consisted of (1) our issuance of
$201 million of 6.75% convertible debentures, raising net proceeds of approximately $197 million,
(2) our public offering of approximately 26.5 million shares of common stock for approximately $109
million in net proceeds, (3) our issuance of $143 million in fixed rate equipment notes and $102
million in floating rate equipment notes to banks secured by three Airbus A320 aircraft and six
EMBRAER 190 aircraft, (4) paying down a net of $107 million on our lines of credit collateralized
by our ARS, (5) scheduled maturities of $74 million of debt and capital lease obligations, (6) the
repurchase of $3 million principal amount of 3.75% convertible debentures due 2035 for $3 million,
and (7) reimbursement of construction costs incurred for our new terminal at JFK of $25 million.
Working
Capital. We had working capital of $178 million and $377 million at June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively. Our working capital includes the fair value of our short term
fuel hedge derivatives, which was a liability of $3 million at June 30, 2010 and an asset of $25
million at December 31, 2009.
26
In July 2010, UBS repurchased all of our ARS outstanding as of June 30, 2010 at their par
value of $49 million in accordance with our previous agreement. The proceeds of these sales were
used to terminate the outstanding balance of the line of credit we had with UBS. As a result, we
realized a net cash increase of approximately $9 million.
We expect to meet our obligations as they become due through available cash, investment
securities and internally generated funds, supplemented as necessary by financing activities, as
they may be available to us. We expect to generate positive working capital through our
operations. However, we cannot predict what the effect on our business might be from the extremely
competitive environment we are operating in or from events that are beyond our control, such as
volatile fuel prices, the current economic recession and global credit and liquidity crisis,
weather-related disruptions, the impact of airline bankruptcies or consolidations, U.S. military
actions or acts of terrorism. We believe the working capital available to us will be sufficient to
meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

There have been no material changes in the terms of our debt instruments from the information
provided in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources included in our 2009 Form 10-K. We are not subject to
any financial covenants in any of our debt obligations. We have approximately $30 million of
restricted cash pledged under standby letters of credit related to certain of our leases which will
expire at the end of the related lease terms.
As of June 30, 2010, we operated a fleet of 110 Airbus A320 aircraft and 41 EMBRAER 190
aircraft, of which 92 were owned, 55 were leased under operating leases and four were leased under
capital leases. We also owned two additional aircraft which we took delivery of at the end of June
2010 but which were not yet placed in service. The average age of our operating fleet was 4.8
years at June 30, 2010. In February 2010, we amended our Airbus A320 purchase agreement, deferring
six aircraft previously scheduled for delivery in 2011 and 2012 to 2015. As of June 30, 2010, we
had on order 55 Airbus A320 aircraft and 58 EMBRAER 190 aircraft; with options to acquire eight
additional Airbus A320 aircraft and 74 additional EMBRAER 190 aircraft as follows:

In addition to the above aircraft on order, we expect to lease six used Airbus A320 aircraft
in 2010.
Committed expenditures for our 113 firm aircraft and 17 spare engines include estimated
amounts for contractual price escalations and predelivery deposits. Debt financing has been
arranged for our two remaining firm aircraft deliveries scheduled for 2010, and lease financing is
being arranged for our used aircraft deliveries expected in 2010. Although we believe that debt
and/or lease financing should be available for our remaining aircraft deliveries, we cannot give
assurance that we will be able to secure financing on terms attractive to us, if at all, which may
require us to modify our aircraft acquisition plans. Capital expenditures for facility
improvements, spare parts, and ground purchases are expected to be approximately $90 million for
the remainder of 2010.
In November 2005, we executed a 30-year lease agreement with the PANYNJ for the construction
and operation of a new terminal at JFK, which we began to operate in October 2008. For financial
reporting purposes only, this lease is being accounted for as a financing obligation because we do
not believe we qualify for sale-leaseback accounting due to our continuing involvement in the
property following the construction period. JetBlue has committed to rental payments under the
lease, including ground rents for the new terminal site, which began on lease execution and are
included as part of lease commitments in the contractual obligations table above. Facility rents
commenced upon the date of our beneficial occupancy of the new terminal and are included as part of
financing obligations and other in the contractual obligations table above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None of our operating lease obligations are reflected on our balance sheet. Although some of
our aircraft lease arrangements are variable interest entities, as defined in the Consolidations
topic of the Codification, none of them require consolidation in our financial statements. The
decision to finance these aircraft through operating leases rather than through debt was based on
an analysis of the cash flows and tax consequences of each option and a consideration of our
liquidity requirements. We are responsible for all maintenance, insurance and other costs
associated with operating these aircraft; however, we have not made any residual value or other
guarantees to our lessors.
We have determined that we hold a variable interest in, but are not the primary beneficiary
of, certain pass-through trusts which are the purchasers of equipment notes issued by us to finance
the acquisition of new aircraft and are held by such pass-through trusts. These pass-through trusts
maintain liquidity facilities whereby a third party agrees to make payments sufficient to pay up to
18 months of interest on the
28
applicable certificates if a payment default occurs. The liquidity
providers for the Series 2004-1 certificates and the spare parts certificates are Landesbank
Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale and Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. The liquidity providers for
the Series 2004-2 certificates are Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and Citibank, N.A.
We utilize a policy provider to provide credit support on the Class G-1 and Class G-2
certificates. The policy provider has unconditionally guaranteed the payment of interest on the
certificates when due and the payment of principal on the certificates no later than 18 months
after the final expected regular distribution date. The policy provider is MBIA Insurance
Corporation (a subsidiary of MBIA, Inc.). Financial information for the parent company of the
policy provider is available at the SECs website at http://www.sec.gov or at the SECs public
reference room in Washington, D.C.
We have also made certain guarantees and indemnities to other unrelated parties that are not
reflected on our balance sheet, which we believe will not have a significant impact on our results
of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the
information provided in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates included in our 2009 Form 10-K.
Other Information
Recent Awards. In June 2010, JetBlue was recognized by J.D. Power and Associates as having
the highest customer satisfaction among low-cost carriers in North America for the sixth
consecutive year.
Forward-Looking Information. This report contains forward-looking statements relating to
future events and our future performance, including, without limitation, statements regarding
financial forecasts or projections, our expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies,
that are signified by the words expects, anticipates, intends, believes, plans or similar
language. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this report
are based on information available to us on the date of this report. It is routine for our internal
projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progresses, and
therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections, beliefs and assumptions
upon which we base our expectations may change prior to the end of each quarter or year. Although
these expectations may change, we may not inform you if they do.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are based on
information currently available to us. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in
the forward-looking statements due to many factors, including without limitation, our extremely
competitive industry; volatility in financial and credit markets which could affect our ability to
obtain debt and/or lease financing or to raise funds through debt or equity issuances; increases in
fuel prices, maintenance costs and interest rates; our ability to profitably implement our growth
strategy, including the ability to operate reliably the EMBRAER 190 aircraft and our new terminal
at JFK; our significant fixed obligations; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel
and maintain our culture as we grow; our reliance on high daily aircraft utilization; our
dependence on the New York metropolitan market; our reliance on automated systems and technology;
our exposure to potential unionization; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers; changes in
or additional government regulation; changes in our industry due to other airlines financial
condition; a continuance of the economic recessionary conditions in the U.S. or a further economic
downturn leading to a continuing or accelerated decrease in demand for domestic and business air
travel; and external geopolitical events and conditions.

Additional information concerning these and other factors is contained in our SEC filings,
including but not limited to, our 2009 Form 10-K and part II of this report.

Item 3. |
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
There have been no material changes in market risks from the information provided in Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included in our 2009 Form 10-K, except
as follows:
Aircraft Fuel. As of June 30, 2010, we had hedged approximately 46% of our expected remaining
2010 fuel requirements using jet fuel swaps, heating oil collars, and crude oil caps. Our results
of operations are affected by changes in the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Market risk
is estimated as a hypothetical 10% increase in the June 30, 2010, cost per gallon of fuel,
including the effects of our fuel hedges. Based on our projected twelve month fuel consumption,
such an increase would result in an increase to annual aircraft fuel expense of approximately $107
million, compared to an estimated $83 million for 2009 measured as of June 30, 2009. See Note 8 to
our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Fixed Rate Debt. On June 30, 2010, our $326 million aggregate principal amount of convertible
debt had an estimated fair value of $408 million, based on quoted market prices.

Item 4. |
|
Controls and Procedures. |
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In January 2011, in connection with our closing of the financial statements for the fourth quarter
of 2010, management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or
CFO, identified a control deficiency related to the timely monitoring and accounting of expired
points and awards under our former customer loyalty program, TrueBlue, that constituted a material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined under Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). As a result
of the misstatement caused by this control deficiency, our management determined that our
previously issued financial statements contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2009, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March
31, June 30, and September 30, 2010 should no longer be
relied upon due to a $13 million non-cash
error in the accounting for expired TrueBlue points and awards and those financial statements
should be restated to properly reflect the non-cash revenue for expired customer loyalty points and
awards in the periods in which the expirations occurred.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the time our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 was filed
on July 27, 2010, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of June 30, 2010.
Subsequent to that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, have re-evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based on that re-evaluation and as described above under Restatement of
Previously Issued Financial Statements, we have identified a material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)).
Solely as a result of this material weakness, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2010.
Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financing Reporting
During the fourth quarter of 2009, we migrated to a new customer loyalty management system and
began winding down our previous customer loyalty program. In connection with the winding down of
the non-cash liability for expiring customer loyalty points and awards at the end of 2010, we
discovered and corrected the error and recorded the appropriate adjustments in the proper periods.
In 2010, we significantly strengthened our internal controls over our customer loyalty program by
implementing and leveraging the enhanced automated controls of the new customer loyalty system and
by improving our reconciliation and review procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation of material weakness noted above, there were no changes in the Companys
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
identified in connection with the evaluation of our controls performed during the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
|
|
|
Item 1. |
|
Legal Proceedings. |
In the ordinary course of our business, we are party to various legal proceedings and claims
which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. We believe that the ultimate
outcome of these proceedings to which we are currently a party will not have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The following is an update to Item 1A-Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009, or our 2009 Form 10-K. For additional risk factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, please refer to our 2009
Form 10-K.
Risks Related to JetBlue
Our substantial indebtedness may limit our ability to incur additional debt to obtain future
financing needs.
We typically finance our aircraft through either secured debt or lease financing. The
impact on financial institutions from the current global credit and liquidity crisis may adversely
affect the availability and cost of credit to JetBlue as well as to prospective purchasers of our
aircraft that we undertake to sell in the future, including financing commitments that we have
already obtained for purchases of new aircraft. To the extent we finance our activities with
additional debt, we may become subject to financial and other covenants that may restrict our
ability to pursue our growth strategy or otherwise constrain our operations.
We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or increased labor costs;
potential changes to the labor laws may make unionization easier to achieve.
Our business is labor intensive and, unlike most airlines, we have a non-union workforce.
The unionization of any our employees could result in demands that may increase our operating
expenses and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Any of the
different crafts or classes of our employees could unionize at any time, which would require us to
negotiate in good faith with the employee groups certified representative concerning a collective
bargaining agreement. Further, the National Mediation Board changes to its election procedures
permitting a majority of those voting to elect to unionize (from a majority of those in the craft
or class) became effective in July 2010. These rule changes fundamentally alter the manner in which
labor groups have been able to organize in our industry since the inception of the Railway Labor
Act. Ultimately, if we and the newly elected representative were unable to reach agreement on the
terms of a collective bargaining agreement and all of the major dispute resolution processes of the
Railway Labor Act were exhausted, we could be subject to work slowdowns or stoppages. In addition,
we may be subject to disruptions by organized labor groups protesting our non-union status. Any of
these events would be disruptive to our operations and could harm our business.
Our business is highly dependent on the New York metropolitan market and increases in
competition or congestion or a reduction in demand for air travel in this market, or governmental
reduction of our operating capacity at JFK, would harm our business.
We are highly dependent on the New York metropolitan market where we maintain a large
presence with approximately 60% of our daily flights having JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Westchester
County Airport or Newburghs Stewart International Airport as either their origin or destination.
We have experienced an increase in flight delays and cancellations at JFK due to airport congestion
which has adversely affected our operating performance and results of operations. Our business
could be further harmed by an increase in the amount of direct competition we face in the New York
metropolitan market or by continued or increased congestion, delays or cancellations. Our business
would also be harmed by any circumstances causing a reduction in demand for air transportation in
the New York metropolitan area, such as adverse changes in local economic conditions, negative
public perception of New York City, terrorist attacks or significant price increases linked to increases in airport access costs and fees imposed on
passengers.
31
We rely heavily on automated systems to operate our business; any failure of these systems
could harm our business.
We are dependent on automated systems and technology to operate our business, enhance
customer service and achieve low operating costs. The performance and reliability of our automated
systems is critical to our ability to operate our business and compete effectively. These systems
include our computerized airline reservation system, flight operations system, telecommunications
systems, website, maintenance systems, check-in kiosks and in-flight entertainment systems. Our
website and reservation system must be able to accommodate a high volume of traffic and deliver
important flight information. These systems require upgrades or replacement periodically, which
involve implementation and other operational risks, and our business may be harmed if we fail to
replace or upgrade systems successfully.
We rely on the providers of our current automated systems for technical support, even in
the event we select new systems and service providers to meet our future needs. If the current
provider were to fail to adequately provide technical support for any one of our key existing
systems, we could experience service disruptions, which, if they were to occur, could result in the
loss of important data, increase our expenses, decrease our revenues and generally harm our
business and reputation. Furthermore, our automated systems cannot be completely protected against
events that are beyond our control, including natural disasters, computer viruses or
telecommunications failures. Substantial or sustained system failures could impact customer service
and result in our customers purchasing tickets from other airlines. We have implemented security
measures and change control procedures and have disaster recovery plans; however, we cannot assure
you that these measures are adequate to prevent disruptions, which, if they were to occur, could
result in the loss of important data, increase our expenses, decrease our revenues and generally
harm our business and reputation.
If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel or fail to maintain our
company culture, our business could be harmed.
We compete against the other major U.S. airlines for pilots, mechanics and other skilled
labor; some of them offer wage and benefit packages that exceed ours. We may be required to
increase wages and/or benefits in order to attract and retain qualified personnel or risk
considerable employee turnover. If we are unable to hire, train and retain qualified employees, our
business could be harmed and we may be unable to implement our growth plans.
In addition, as we hire more people and grow, we believe it may be increasingly
challenging to continue to hire people who will maintain our company culture. One of our
competitive strengths is our service-oriented company culture that emphasizes friendly, helpful,
team-oriented and customer-focused employees. Our company culture is important to providing high
quality customer service and having a productive workforce that helps keep our costs low. As we
continue to grow, we may be unable to identify, hire or retain enough people who meet the above
criteria, including those in management or other key positions. Our company culture could otherwise
be adversely affected by our growing operations and geographic diversity. If we fail to maintain
the strength of our company culture, our competitive ability and our business may be harmed.
We may be subject to competitive risks due to the longer term nature of our fleet order book
At present, we have existing aircraft commitments through 2018. As technological evolution
occurs in our industry, through the use of composites, next generation engine technologies and
other innovations, we may be competitively disadvantaged because we have existing extensive fleet
commitments that would prohibit us from adopting new technologies on an expedited basis.
Risks Associated with the Airline Industry
Compliance with recently adopted DOT passenger protections rules will increase our costs and
may ultimately negatively impact our operations.
The DOTs passenger protection rules became effective in April 2010. These rules
provide, among other things, that airlines return aircraft to the gate for deplaning following
tarmac delays in certain circumstances. A significant portion of our operations are focused in the
northeast. Given the poor
32
operating performance of the air traffic control system in the northeast during certain
weather conditions, particularly during the summer season, this rule may produce results more
harmful to customers than intended. The implementation of these rules may negatively impact our
operations and our business.
We could be adversely affected by an outbreak of a disease or an environmental or other
disaster that significantly affects travel behavior.
In 2009, there was an outbreak of the H1N1 virus which had an adverse impact throughout
our network, including on our operations to and from Mexico. Any outbreak of a disease (including a
worsening of the outbreak of the H1N1 virus) that affects travel behavior could have a material
adverse impact on us. In addition, outbreaks of disease could result in quarantines of our
personnel or an inability to access facilities or our aircraft, which could adversely affect our
operations. Similarly, if an environmental disaster were to occur and adversely impact any of our
destination cities, travel behavior could be affected and in turn, could materially adversely
impact our business.
