I'm a bit weary of seeing HN used as a platform for dcurtis' sophomoric attention antics. This should have been a side-channel communication with JetBlue; why would the CEO want to meet with dcurtis about this, and why would he be impressed with an impersonal open letter?
Most importantly, why do I care? As a pitch, the story isn't captivating or well written, and 30 days in airports sounds both depressing and boring -- I'd be surprised if you're capable of carrying out non-monosyllabic conversations after the first 5 days.
"Have a beer with a Fortune 500 CEO" is a pretty pitiful goal. Does he not even care which one?
- dcurtis 17y agoI did not submit this article. And I am a part of this community as much as you are. People have voted this up, so there seems to be some interest here. The last thing I want is to be responsible for lowering the quality of content on HN.
- robg 17y agoDon't sweat the haters. If there's good feedback in here, use it. If there's not, forget it. Do your thing and have fun. I always seem to meet interesting people when I travel, especially sitting next to them on the plane. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you incorporate the experiences with your obvious knack for slick designs. And I only noticed your site because of this experiment. So you have one additional fan exactly because you're courageous enough to try this and be open about it. Enjoy!
