In a story published October 3, 2022, The Associated Press reported that a JetBlue executive testified to writing a text saying that a partnership with American Airlines “is dead.” The executive was referring to a consultant’s contract to audit the partnership, not on the deal itself, so the quote has been removed. Members who ran an Oct. 3 story headlined “American Airlines CEO defends JetBlue deal to federal judge” are asked to run this clarification.
