I sense confusion...[edit]

I think there's some confusion here. JetBlue is the airline brand, while JetBlue Airways is the name of the company that runs the airline and its non-airline subsidiaries – here are its subsidiaries. This is similar to how Meta owns the Facebook brand. The airline's name is JetBlue and the article should reflect this. Quandarie05:41, 2022-08-9

What your reliable sources for that claim? BilCat (talk) 06:12, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

JetBlue's own website. "Robin Hayes is chief executive officer of JetBlue Airways Corp., which encompasses JetBlue – New York’s Hometown Airline® – as well as subsidiaries JetBlue Technology Ventures and JetBlue Travel Products." Also note MOS:BOLDLEAD. Quandarie21:15, 2022-08-09

So we should change the name to "JetBlue – New York’s Hometown Airline"? Hardly. The article cover both the company and the brand, and we use the company's name in such cases. Please don't edit war without a consensus to change this. BilCat (talk) 21:55, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. Per MOS:BOLDLEAD, the boldfaced should match the article title in this case. The article title is JetBlue. Quandarie23:57, 2022-08-09

The trademarked slogan, "New York's Hometown Airline," is in a parenthetical and clearly not part of the brand name. Quandarie00:49, 2022-08-10

It's guideline, not policy. BilCat (talk) 00:09, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The airline's name is JetBlue. The statement in the article, "JetBlue Airways is a low-cost airline," is factually inaccurate as the airline doesn't go by that name. There is absolutely no reason to go against that guideline to preserve a factually inaccurate version of the article. The airline's name is JetBlue. Quandarie00:49, 2022-08-10

Obviously I disagree. Don't revert back without a consensus. BilCat (talk) 01:03, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. I'd love to hear why you disagree, though. Quandarie03:14, 2022-08-10

American Codeshare[edit]

JetBlue's participation in a codeshare with American is ending on 7/20/2023 per an email I received from JetBlue 2607:FB91:D1F:8A4A:AC39:9931:E32C:86BF (talk) 11:53, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Use of camel case in JetBlue[edit]

Hi, team. I noticed that this page was moved from "JetBlue" to "jetBlue".

From my understanding of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trademarks, while we do use camel case in certain situations for letters in the middle of a trademarked name, we generally do not use it to for the first letter, which is still left capitalized. The only exception is for cases where only the second letter is capitalized (e.g., iPhone), which does not apply here. See MOS:TMLOWER.

Further, in both secondary sources (newspapers, etc.) and JetBlue's own Form 10-K, "JetBlue" is used with a capital J. I suggest moving the page back. Precision123 (talk) 21:00, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strictly speaking, the page wasn't moved—article titles can't begin with a lowercase letter—but I agree with you and have removed {{lowercase title}} to restore the previous capitalization. Conifer (talk) 08:40, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
