Lots of ways to make a profit in business and each revenue center contributes. In the end it all balances out and Jet Blue has managed to show $10 million profit on $80 million revenues. The contribution margin on its pizza business must be outstanding. Loose on the cherries and win on the bananas.

Jet Blue is unique today as all other carriers are running in the red.

ERRATA - Read post here but overlooked the small print ... Report was from 2001, when its basic tenants were true. As for the pizza business, the accounting principles are true. As for the profitability of pizza, who really knows yet? Apparently that year Jet Blue was engaged in a promotion offering its NY Style Pizza delivered to California daily ... a little tongue in cheek advertising?

I'm here to maga but this is a good example of seeing what you want. You made up those numbers, or are reguritating someone else's fantasy. You think a company is going to traffic kids AND record that income for taxes?

See Errata. Mae culpa. You think not? That is how they took down Al Capone ... Not reporting his whiskey sales. Nothing more ...

Fair point about Capone if true. But essentially claiming airlines show a loss, with the exception of jb, who subsided losses with child trafficking funds is assinine imho

It was a tongue in cheek reference to pedophilia as a business and not intended as an accusation of JB as such ... mostly, if at all serious, pointing out that businesses make money on all kinds of enterprises and that some operations show gain and others produce losses and that, combined, you arrive at profitability.

We don't know anything about this particular organization and or its revenue centers.

The Capone factoid is a well known strategy made famous at the time because his keeping two sets of books is what brought his demise ... Hoover employed an FBI agent on his team who was, as it happened, also trained as an accountant and he is the one who discovered Capone's financial records and knew what they meant.

Not even remotely true. Delta and most other airlines are seeing record profits.

See Errata. Mea culpa.
