I thought JetBlue is the tackiest airline -- the Greyhound of the skies

But TIL it has a 1st class section called "Mint Class" (really) and serves Prosecco. And that male flight attendants are very patient. The passengers, though...

Highlights:

A chameleon enthusiast from Southern California drank an entire bottle of Prosecco during the first half of a cross-country flight, then allegedly slapped a flight attendant’s rear end before pulling down his pants and underwear and exposing his genitalia – twice – to another member of the cabin crew.

When police later questioned 49-year-old Dennis Wally Woodbury about his behavior aboard the JetBlue plane, which included asking a young girl walking in the aisle “if her parents made her out of lust or love,” he claimed the two flight attendants had in fact “solicited” him, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Independent.

Before the aircraft pushed back from the gate, Woodbury struck up a conversation with a flight attendant identified in the affidavit by the initials “R.O.,” and showed him a picture of a dog, the affidavit says. Behind the dog, the affidavit continues, was “a blurred image of what appeared to be two men having sex.”

“R.O. responded by saying, ‘Oh my God,’” the affidavit goes on. “Woodbury laughed and said, ‘I was wondering how long it would take you.’ Woodbury then told R.O. that he should go on a cruise with him.

Once the plane got moving, R.O. conducted the pre-flight safety briefing, the affidavit states. It continues that when R.O. began demonstrating how the plane’s oxygen masks worked, he saw Woodbury “looking at him and [making] a hand pumping motion.”

J.C. walked to the rear of the cabin to inform the rest of the crew about Woodbury’s antics, the affidavit says. At the same time, Woodbury approached R.O. in the plane’s front galley “and pulled down his pants exposing the head of his erect penis,” according to the affidavit.

It says R.O. told Woodbury, “This is not the place to do that.” Woodbury walked away but quickly circled back, asking R.O. for a glass of wine, the affidavit states. R.O. said no, but that he would serve Woodbury a non-alcoholic drink.

“Woodbury then pulled down his pants a second time[,] exposing the head of his erect penis,” the affidavit contends. “R.O. told Woodbury, ‘Enough. Go back to your seat.’”

What on earth gave you that impression, especially when Spirit exists?

JetBlue is not tacky.

How much longer will Spirit exist?

With a name like Dennis Wally Woodbury, I was hoping to find a mugshot or some other information about him, but it's scant. This is interesting. Drunk on the job? I guess he either refused or failed rehab.

OP here. No, I haven't flown either Spirit or JetBlue. Actually, I haven't flown in over 15 years. What I've learned about airlines since, comes from DL. I guess I think of the two brands interchangeably. (Aren't they considering a merger?) Anyway, I was very surprised about the Mint Class that serves full bottles of champagne. I mistakenly thought it's a budget carrier.

If JetBlue were judged by (the absence of) airport lounges it would be a budget carrier.

Jet Blue is actually pretty good compared with legacy carrier economy travel.

I'd like to see a reenactment of this man's alleged crimes.

by Anonymousreply 10May 3, 2025 2:59 PM

I always thought of JetBlue as being a younger, hip modern airline. It's definitely not a budget airline.

There was another thread about this already - but this guy was obvs highly intoxicated and thought he was 'just flirting'.

The brazenness of this approach/hitting on the FA is a combo of alcohol/drugs and ALSO being law enforcement where he feels like he can intimidate people at will.

Oh well - he's retired now most likely and out of a job.

JetBlue once had an excellent reputation for being a good value airline, no frills but good service.

This thread was started at least a day before the "Cop sexually abuses" thread. The focus on this one drifted to the status of JetBlue instead of the passenger drunkeness of which the OP cut and pasted several examples.

If you had read this thread and the release from the Justice Department at r4, you'd see that he was "dismissed" from the CHP -- not "retired" as you claim.

R13 - dismissed doesn't mean he doesn't get his pension, which is protected. He'll be fine.

JetBlue and their first class are nice seats. Here's a JetBlue 1st class vid.

my favorite airline.

by Anonymousreply 15May 3, 2025 5:27 PM

Where did I say he didn't get his pension, r14, or that I care about how he'll do as an unemployed cop? I'm in California and well aware of how CalPERS works.

The point of bringing up the dismissal is that it points on-the-job misbehavior, possibly alcohol related. Cops don't get tossed off the force that easily.
