Our Boys On The Bus
By Jesse Oxfeld
The seemingly interminable 2008 presidential campaign, which will finally come to an end Tuesday, had its first official stop in Iowa, where the caucuses were held on January 3 of this year. The national press corps had spent the previous few weeks camped out in that snowy state, and on the last night of 2007 a crowd of young reporters were celebrating New Year's Eve at a gay bar in the East Village -- that is, at The Garden, in the trendy East Village of Des Moines, Iowa. This crew -- a CBS producer, a reporter for The New York Times, two guys covering the campaign for Logo -- were part of the gay minority of reporters on the campaign trail.
Every four years, a small, insular world of political reporters develops, a cadre of journalists who eat, sleep, and travel with the people who are trying to be president. In his seminal 1973 study of this ecosystem, Timothy Crouse dubbed them 'The Boys on the Bus,' the newspaper correspondents and wire reporters and magazine writers and television personalities and photographers and cameramen and producers who travel with each campaign for weeks and months at a time, staying in mediocre hotels and pecking away at laptops and shuffling out of bed to catch early morning planes to wherever the candidate wants to go next. There isn't necessarily a higher-than-average population of gay men among this group, but there are a good number in very prominent jobs.
The chief political correspondent for The New York Times since 2002, Adam Nagourney, is gay, as is his predecessor in that job, Rick Berke, who started in the paper's Washington bureau in 1986 and is now a top-level editor in New York. Likewise the Times's lead Barack Obama reporter, Jeff Zeleny, its lead Hillary Clinton reporter, Patrick Healy, and the man who ambled behind George W. Bush in 2000, Frank Bruni, now the paper's restaurant critic. (Jeremy Peters, a rising star in the Albany bureau, occasionally joined the campaign crew for those nights out at The Garden and Des Moines's two other gay bars, the delightfully named Blazing Saddle and Frat House.) There's Michael Finnegan, a campaign heavyweight at the Los Angeles Times, and Jonathan Darman, Newsweek's 27-year-old wunderkind political scribe; there's Candy Crowley's producer at CNN, Mike Roselli, his fellow CNN producer Chris Welch, who was the network's off-air in Iowa, and producers from CBS's The Early Show, ABC's Nightline, and, of course, Logo.
It's hard to overestimate how all-encompassing, how time-consuming, how life-consuming the job of covering a presidential campaign can be, especially in an era when presidential campaigns now start two years before the actual election. The major papers, the big networks, the cable news channels, they each have their own coterie of people following all the major candidates -- Obama and Clinton and McCain and, in the early days of the race, John Edwards and Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani and so on -- starting well before the Iowa caucuses. The reporters can spend weeks or even months at a time on the road, tailing one candidate nonstop or moving between candidates as their news organizations want coverage of the different contenders. They'll often return home to New York or Washington after an extended reporting swing only to learn they're expected back on the road, in a different state, maybe with a different candidate, just a day or two later. There's no regularity, no predictability; your time is not your own. It's a job for young people, or at least for people otherwise unencumbered by the trappings of Ward-and-June suburban life.
'I think part of it is that a lot of gay men don't have children back home, family responsibilities back home,' says a gay veteran of two campaign trails. (Journalists, ironically, are among the sources most reluctant to talk to reporters or be quoted; none of those who would speak to me would do so on the record.) 'If they're in long-term relationships with partners, the partners are high-powered career guys as well, so they're each doing their own thing. I don't know if there's something in the genes that attracts us to politics, but I do think our lifestyles create time, space, a certain sense of freedom.'
It's a job that requires you to have some of the attributes of a loner -- few commitments, an ability to pick up and disappear from your life -- without having the personality of a loner. You have to be social enough and socially adroit enough to read people, talk to people, and get them to talk to you. 'Is it a total surprise to me, if I were to go and look at it analytically, that gay guys want to be political reporters, and might excel at it?' asks another reporter. 'No. Because to be a good political reporter you have to be interested in power and sophisticated in seeing where it works and how it shifts. And I buy into the theory that growing up as a kid who feels different, you get to be very sophisticated about where power is, just in your own experience. You feel outsiderish, and you have that critical perspective.'
It's also a glamour job -- inasmuch as any ink-stained gig can be glamorous -- that keeps you close to high-profile people. 'I think a lot of gay men are attracted to that boldface-namey thing,' says a gay reporter who has covered presidential campaigns. 'My guess is that if you did a canvass of gay male journalists who are on-air or who are writing -- so I'm taking out copy editors and producers and that sort of thing -- you would find them gravitating toward spotlighty things. To me, that's one of those things gays appreciate, is life on the public stage.' These reporters, he's suggesting, have a fascination with life lived in public, and they like having their own place on that stage. 'I think that the theater of politics is of real interest to political reporters,' says one of them. 'And a lot of gay reporters are theater junkies as well. The candidates are divas, larger-than-life personalities, and I think there's a definite appreciation for those characters.' What was never-give-up Hillary, after all, if not an electoral Mama Rose?

BSOD on formatting 3TB HD connected with e-Sata / USB works fine
Got a new 3TB HD today which I use as external drive.
When I connect it with USB it seems to work fine. Windows sees it and I can format it.
When I conntect it with e-Sata, Windows says the Drive needs to be reformatted. As soon as I start a Quick format, Windows gives me an BSOD
That's a 64 bit system.
Any ideas? : )

Thank you Northernsoul55 - it's not necessary anymore - Problem solved.
Here's the solution:
Solving this was a bit tricky, because TWO things were the cause. There was also the well known problem involved that the 3TB dive only showed 746 GB available.
I have a quite dated Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 Motherboard. The BIOS needed to be updated to the latest Version (14)
The next and most important step was to update the Intel RST Drivers.
On some other Board I found a solution where someone was updating to Version 10.8.0.1003 and it worked for him.
So I went to the intel site looking for the newest Drivers.... but the refused to install. I guess I downloaded three different packages and I also tried to install manually. None of them installed - I got either a "platform not supported" or a "your driver is up to date" error.
In the end I did a search for the exact version Number (thank god the number was included in the post ; ) and installed the package.
After rebooting everything was fine! The drive showed up normally in Disk manager and everything works perfect.
In case anyone has a similar problem - here's where I got the Intel RST package from. (I actually had that the intel chipsed driver installed before.. but my version was outdated)
Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver (AHCI) 10.8.0.1003 Driver for Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7 Free Download
PS: the site is full of those "download" links we all love so much... make sure you pick the right one.
I also copied the link location of the correct download button... but I do not know if it will work if the other crap was not clicked before.... so just in case here it is:
Download starting...
Good Luck

New Caledonia
Region: Oceania
Capital: Noumea
Population:260,166 (July 2012 – CIA est.)
Surface Area: 19,060 sq km
Currency: Comptoirs Français du Pacifique franc (XPF)
GDP per capita: Purchasing power parity US $15,000 (2003 est.)
Settled by both Britain and France during the first half of the 19th century, the island was made a French possession in 1853. It served as a penal colony for four decades after 1864. Agitation for independence during the 1980s and early 1990s ended in the 1998 Noumea Accord, which over a period of 15 to 20 years will transfer an increasing amount of governing responsibility from France to New Caledonia. The agreement also commits France to conduct as many as three referenda between 2013 and 2018, to decide whether New Caledonia should assume full sovereignty and independence.
Economy – Overview:
New Caledonia has about 25% of the world's known nickel resources. Only a small amount of the land is suitable for cultivation, and food accounts for about 20% of imports. In addition to nickel, substantial financial support from France – equal to more than 15% of GDP – and tourism are keys to the health of the economy. Substantial new investment in the nickel industry, combined with the recovery of global nickel prices, brightens the economic outlook for the next several years.
Major Export Commodities: ferronickels, nickel ore, fish
Remittances: US 552 million USD (World Bank 2011 est.)

Concerned customers should first contact their utility at the telephone number located on their utility bill or contact the customer service number on their utility website to confirm if any claim for payment is legitimate. If the claim is fraudulent, customers should immediately call local law enforcement officials and the Consumer Protection Division of the Iowa Attorney General's Office at 888-777-4590.

Iowa's program, known as iowaCanConnect, may offer solutions to consumers who cannot use communication tools such as the telephone or computer because of combined vision and hearing loss. NOTE: the program has NOT been discontinued, but during this transition there may be some delay in serving qualified Iowa applicants with equipment and training.
Iowa Seeks to Help Address Dropped Calls in Nation's Rural Areas The Iowa Utilities Board continues to be actively engaged in discussions with other states as well as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help resolve ongoing telephone call termination issues. The FCC recently released its rural call completion order (FCC 13-135) and the Board continues to actively monitor this ongoing docket.

I didn't realize my skin was somewhat sensitive until I used this. Pretty good product, keeps my breakouts in check, leaves my skin smooth and matte but god dammit it stings if I don't use a good amount of serum underneath. Not for the sensitive skin.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this after a friends suggestion & lucked out by getting it during their buy two get two sale so pretty much got it for free, otherwise it's a bit pricey. After I wash my face in the morning I put this on. It leaves my skin feeling like I don't have anything on & I've noticed it controls the oil as long as I don't use too much. My makeup goes smoothly on top of it & it's even great by itself on days when I don't wear makeup. My face seems to have cleared up as well since I started using this. Not significantly, but it definitely helps.
I have used this product for 3 years now. It helped keep a lot of my acne flare ups in control and at the same time kept my face a little less oily. There has been many products I've tried over the years many with the same results, but this was the only one that didn't dry out my skin. Other products made my skin dry and flakey.
I do wish it could hydrate a little more, but other than that I love it and continue to use it.
I would and do repurchase this regularly. It can frequently be found at 50% off during sales and is well worth it for that price.
I really like this lotion. It helped clear out my skin, and i have far less breakouts now. Definitely repurchasing !
I love this product! It does its job as a moisturiser and leaves a lovely matte finish. I'm not sure it fulfills the skin-clearing part of the bargain, but it is gentle and feels very light. It's a little expensive but then... it IS The Body Shop. I prefer it over its counterpart, the night lotion, but I like the night lotion's pump bottle packaging better. I would buy again. (:

I have a little tube of this, that came with a tea tree set. I really love this, I use this at night and it gives a nice tingling feeling on your face. For me, this is kind of on the expensive side, but I guess it's allright. The only con is that I never get the amount of product that I want, sometimes way to much and sometimes almost nothing. But the thing is a little goes a long way.
I've been using this product for 3 years. I use it in the morning after wearing toner. And I never change it! it feels soft on the skin, love the matte feeling it gave. And it's really help my oily skin and reduce my acne. This is my favorite product of the body shop!
I use this product every night and every morning. In the 4 days that I've used it, I am in LOVE! I have oily skin, very oily skin, and the minute that I rub the lotion onto my face, the matte finish that it gives, I LOVE! And the matte finish lasts through the night and I wake up to a fresh face, not a greasy, oily mess. During the day, when I use it, it kind of acts like a primer, in my opinion. I'm so satisfied with this product and in this short time that I've been using it, like I said, I LOVE IT!
I switched from the Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream to this a few months ago, and I must say I'm still very impressed. I was originally going to buy this instead of the seaweed one however the SA talked me into trying the seaweed one as it tends to be a bit less drying than tea tree, however I found it not quite oil-controlling enough. I changed to this one and found it very light, cooling and refreshing as soon as you apply it.
It absorbs very easily and does not leave a visible residue, nor can you feel a residue. My skin still feels very clean after applying this. I don't find it very drying, however I occasionally (a.k.a. almost never) get very small dry patches near my nose, and I find that if I apply just a little bit more than usual of this near my nose they go away within a day or two, so whilst it does an excellent job of oil control it is also a good moisturiser.
No problems with the packaging, I like the flip-top squeeze tube, however I would like to see a larger size become available. The price is decent considering it is a Body Shop product, however like all their products I would like to see it a little lower.
Overall, I am very happy with the job this moisturiser does for my oily skin and have already repurchased more than once.

Fourth of July TipsJune 30th, 2008
I love the week of 4th of July. It just feels like, well, summer to me.
I'm off to California to speak at the "greenest fair on Earth" at the Marin County Fair right outside of San Francisco. It's one of those fun old fashioned county fairs with farm booths, pie-eating contests, ferris wheels and cotton candy. I'll take lots of photos. If you're in Marin County, come see me on Wednesday, July 2nd at 6PM. I'm giving away a free Simmons Natural Care by Danny Seo mattress!
Anyway, here are some fun eco-entertaining tips from my book "Simply Green Parties" that you can use for your own summer parties this week. First up: lemon scented hand towels.
Just grab some small towels and soak them in ice water with a squeezed lemon. Ring them up, roll them up and serve with a lemon slice on top. They'll refresh and disinfect at the same time.
For corn on the cob, just grab some twigs from the yard and sharpen them up in a pencil sharpener. Jab, grill, enjoy!
It's easy to make your own healthy popsicles. You find these molds in the kitchen supply aisle. Just fill it up with a fruity sports drink, insert popsicle sticks and freeze. Full of vitamins and much healthier than regular sugar pops.

Hi till,
well manual is not available yet so here is what I would like to set. I am writing it here because it may help other users
What I need:
1) create recurring proforma invoice which will be automatically generated 14 days before "Next payment" day and emailed to customer contact email
2) reminder to this proforma invoice should automatically send warning 5 and 1 days before "Next payment" day
3) reminder should automatically send information about cancelation of webhosting on "Next payment" day with message about cancelation webhosting after 5 days from "Next payment" day
What I did:
1) In Global Settings => Cron settings for recurring invoices:
- Send invoices by email - checked
- Create proforma invoices - checked
- Active - checked
2) I created recurring item with next payment and start date in future (date + 15) and set reminder to 12,11,5
3) no proforma invoice was generated and no reminder mail was sent
Thank you for your help

In the wake of Kim Jong Il's death, many analysts wondered how the next few months would play out. What signals would the regime send? Would Kim Jong Un follow in Kim Jong Il's footsteps and go through some sort of mourning period? Would any signs of leadership struggle emerge?

Freetown man charged with cocaine trafficking, sword assault
A Freetown man allegedly assaulted his wife with a samurai sword before he was arrested by police who also found 139 grams of crack cocaine at his home, officials said.
Robert W. Reynolds, Jr., 33, was charged Saturday with trafficking more than 100 grams of crack cocaine, assault by means of a dangerous weapon, attempted murder and assault and battery, Freetown police said.
Police said they received a 911 call at 10:35 a.m. for a domestic dispute and then received a second call shortly before they entered the home stating that Reynolds was assaulting his wife with a samurai sword.
Reynolds also attempted to strangle his wife, police said, but she declined medical attention.
Police also seized 139 grams of cocaine packaged in several bags along with $1,400 in cash.
Reynolds is set to appear in court on Monday.

In 2006, the Legislature passed and Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which set the 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal into law.
AB32 has been called an "ambitious, yet controversial, plan to cut carbon dioxide emissions and promote energy efficiency." The law "aims to rollback carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, while mandating a further eight percent reduction by 2050."
Not everyone loves the law. And surprise, surprise, one of the law's opponents is an oil company. According to a pro-AB32 site, "Valero Energy -- a Texas-based oil company -- has already spent half a million dollars to fund a deceptive initiative that would destroy AB 32, California's landmark clean energy and air pollution law."
What does this mean exactly? Apparently Valero has decided to spend "corporate funds" in support of a campaign to defeat AB32 "via the California initiative process". They are using their money to generate signatures to get the repeal of AB32 on the ballot in November.
Valero CEO Bill Klesse "has insisted that CO2 - a major contributor to climate change -- is not air pollution. However, the scientific community and even the (conservative) U.S. Supreme Court are clear on this issue: CO2 (carbon dioxide) is a pollutant that should be regulated."
CREDO Action and Courage Campaign members are fighting back by launching a boycott of Valero gas stations."
If you want to join this boycott go here.
On the other hand if you are in favor of repealing this law, you may want to boycott Blue Shield, instead. Why?
Because Blue Shield of California is opposing the very initiative that Valero is trying to get on the ballot.
According to Tom Epstein, Blue Shield's vice president for public affairs, "Reducing air pollution that contributes to climate change is the right thing to do for the health of California's families."
According to the 2008 California Air Resources Board AB 32 Scoping Plan, air pollution contributes to 19,000 premature deaths, hundreds of thousands of asthma attacks, and thousands of trips to the emergency room each year."
"To demonstrate its own commitment to environmental responsibility, Blue Shield of California is actively addressing climate change in its operations. The company has quantified its carbon footprint, enhanced energy efficiency, uses green building best practices, and supports alternative commutes and reduced business travel through extensive videoconferencing, transit incentives, and support for biking to work."
Blue Shield of California's Redding and El Dorado Hills facilities recently earned the EPA Energy Star label, the nation's premiere designation for energy performance."
So now you can vote for or against AB32 every time you fill up your gas tank or purchase insurance.
To understand the myths and facts on AB32 go here.
Interested in what the Ventura County Star, Fresno Bee, and the San Jose Mercury News think about AB32? Go here.

Congress prevented the doubling of interest rates on the loans of millions of current and former college students, but the deal lasts for just a year, and students are already anxiously wondering whether they'll face the same financial threat next summer.
—Posted by Alexander Reed Kelly
AP via The Washington Post:
Under the agreement, interest rates on new subsidized Stafford loans will remain at 3.4 percent. That's estimated to save 7.4 million students about $1,000 each on the average loan, which is usually paid off over 10 or more years.
In the short run, that means students can breathe a sigh of relief this summer. A year from now, however, those rates are set to rise to 6.8 percent. That automatic increase was approved by Congress when lawmakers signed off on a series of scheduled rate reductions five years ago.

(Bursera simaruba)
The Gumbo Limbo can easily be identified by its reddish-brown exfoliating bark. These trees usually grow to be about 40 feet tall and are an excellent shade tree. In addition it is recommended as a wind-tolerant species.
In the West Indies the resin has been used for making glue and varnish. In Haiti the wood is used to make voodoo drums called tambours. Since branches stuck into the ground will take root the Gumbo Limbo is also sometimes referred to as the Fence Tree.

5 Top Beer Apps for Oktoberfest
Wiesen 2012 is an amusing way to navigate through the 14 festival halls (popularly known as "beer tents"), 15 small tents, and 114 kiosks selling sweets, fruit, souvenirs and coffee at Oktoberfest.
The list of tents include details about the managing brewery and beer price. Other than the €14.60 wheat beer sold in the Weinzelt Tent, the average price for one liter of beer is €9.35 this year - 43% more than one liter of Oktoberfest beer in 2002, according to the City of Munich's official site.
The app's cartoon icons can be deceiving, but Wiesen 2012 includes extensive information on the festival to enrich visitors' experiences at the Oktoberfest. It includes a map with directions to amusement rides, attractions and activities around the fairgrounds, another map directing users to local nightclubs, a weekly weather forecast, transport information, beers, and beer prices from each year and a festival program, beginning with the opening ceremonies on Sept. 22 to the closing on Sunday Oct. 7. The app also includes a dictionary of Bavarian terms and a live video of the festival grounds.The most entertaining, but arguably most useful, feature calculates users' blood alcohol level based on the time of day the first beer was consumed, the number of beers consumed, and the user's gender and weight. This free app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, but requires iOS 3.0 or later.

As a visitor to the Alabama State Park system, we would like to know if you would prefer:

Overcome What's Holding You Back, NOW!
I was a compulsive eater out of the womb. The youngest of eight children in an abusive home, I used food to feel safe. After my difficult childhood, I moved from New York to California. I was in college in San Francisco, enjoying school for the first time but still not loving my body or myself. I had turned to bulimia and laxatives in desperation to control my weight.
In the fall of 1987, I went to my first Overeater's Anonymous meeting. The first meeting I attended was in a church and I can still see the room clearly—a large, open, spacious room with chairs placed in a circle. What I loved about that meeting was the love I felt from the moment I walked in the door, as full of pain as we all were. We humans have an amazing capacity to heal, to transform and to become our best selves, all the while loving and holding and supporting one another through the darkness into the light.
Though I attended meetings, my pain was obedient to the addiction. After meetings, I would go straight to the grocery store and buy all the carbohydrates in sight. Yet my will to survive persisted and deep down I still hung on to the belief that something might change.
Then came the day when I heard four words that rocked my world forever. It was February, 1988. My latest New Year's resolution to heal had gone up in smoke; I was using food as my drug of choice and drinking to numb my pain. There was a daylong OA conference, and as disappointed as I was in myself yet again, I knew I needed to go.
The very first speaker, a woman who was not obese, had a story similar to mine—a lifetime of yo-yo diets and self-hate. She talked about feeling desperate and determined at the same time, of living her life in two parts: the one who knew there was more and the one who felt defeated. She talked about all of her excuses and stories, her lies and self-betrayals. Then, one day in a meeting, she had heard a woman share a similar story of attempts to save herself until her life was changed by four words. Those words had forever changed the life of this woman and, as soon as she shared them, they changed mine too. "If not now, when?"
When she shared those words, I burst into tears and experienced an actual physical release in my body, an earthquake in my cells. My world was literally rocked and my life forever changed. Just then, I got it.
If not now, when?
The words took me home—home to whom I was—and home to the person who was NOT defective, who was capable of healing and changing her story. It all flooded in like a tidal wave as I sat there, weeping in pain and joy. I knew then that the part of me that wanted to die was right in a way: some things would have to die in order for me to live.
We should never underestimate the incredible power that sharing and reaching out has to change lives. I believe so much in this truth that I am now a body image and weight-loss coach and have my own successful practice called OnePinky. And it has created a One Pinky revolution. My interest was and still is overturning the obesity epidemic, the one I nearly succumbed to, by changing how we see our bodies.
If not now, when?

I did the same things when I was younger, actually well into my mid-thirties before I just stopped letting myself start eating sweets or drinking more often to try to ignore the emotions that were making me feel anxiety or anger that caused all of it. It's insane how much intelligent people will lose all reason or logic in their diet or fitness programs when other emotional triggers refocus our attention to things that are easily learned and studied, or require little actual regimentation unless we have diabetes or other life threatening illnesses. Giving yourself more credit as far as saying "eating and controlling my weight or appetite is something I have to be able to do if I want to survive in the world", rather than telling yourself constantly that you are failing or need someone to give you the info that no one else out there has found yet (magic pills, pre-made meals that you can make yourself with a simple food calorie chart and a measuring cup, weird diets that call some food poison or cost too much money and time) because people really prey on us when we do that. I have painful arthritis and can't afford the 50 dollars or more in vitamin-mineral supplements that some claim will make it disappear. If it's too hard to do on the cheap, it isn't the answer- that's how I look at it. Ibuprofen and quitting the all day standing or running service jobs has made me feel much better, but I've gained 5 pounds from reducing my daily physical activity even though I eat less restaurant snacks. Just looking at your body and it's calorie requirements in this way takes a lot of the self inflicted criticism or excuses out of how you look at your body for the rest of your life. Losing that pain-free and quickly recovering body my younger self alternately starved and picked apart over appearance only just made me more grateful for what it has easily with my strong immune system and athletic strength, the blessings that make pain or a need for 8 Advils a day acceptable and fine even though others can't see or feel it. Bulimia and dieting probably had a lot to do with getting osteoarthritis by my early thirties- I would suggest confronting this problem as early as possible to avoid skeletal issues later on if you know your relationship to food is not normal.
i feel it.
Nice article and I feel lucky that I don't have eating addiction. "if not now, when" those words are so true.
A few words can change your whole life:)
Addictions are so difficult to overcome! It can be done. I have also beat a couple of terrible addictions with more work to be done! I will do it!
love this article
Thank you so much for sharing such a difficult thing to overcome. Congratulations!
Amazing story.
Good for her.

DOT hits JetBlue with $90,000 fine for long JFK delay
JetBlue has become the latest U.S. airline to run afoul of new consumer-protection rules put into place by the Department of Transportation.
The agency says JetBlue violated federal rules in March by failing to inform passengers on an aircraft delayed at New York's JFK Airport that they could leave the plane as it sat at a gate with the door open. DOT fined JetBlue $90,000 and ordered the airline to cease and desist from further violations.
The new DOT consumer protection rules – which went into effect in last summer – state that if fliers on a delayed flight have the opportunity to leave the aircraft, the carrier must inform them that they can deplane. Announcements that passengers can leave the plane must come 30 minutes after the scheduled departure time and every 30 minutes afterward, according to the DOT.
In the offending incident, the DOT says San Francisco-bound JetBlue Flight 645 sat at a New York JFK gate with its door open for about 3 hours on March 3. Boarding began at 7:06 p.m., but the flight was delayed and the doors to the aircraft did not close until 9:55 p.m.
The DOT says an investigation by its Aviation Enforcement Office "found that passengers were not notified that they had the opportunity to leave the aircraft during this delay, even though the aircraft door was open and customers could have deplaned at any time. The Enforcement Office also found that JetBlue's contingency plan for long tarmac delays did not contain the assurance, as required by the DOT rule, that passengers on delayed flights will receive notifications about the status of the delay every 30 minutes, including the reasons for the delay."
Newsday of New York says JetBlue has become the first carrier to be fined for this particular provision of the new DOT rules, which includes another provision mandating maximum times for ground delays. American Airlines' regional American Eagle unit became the first carrier to be penalized on the latter provision when it was hit with a $900,000 fine in November, according to USA TODAY.
ARCHIVES: American Eagle fined for tarmac delays (Nov. 2011)
As for JetBlue, spokeswoman Tamara Young tells Newsday that the airline provided water and access to bathrooms during the delay, but acknowledged that passengers many not have realized they were free to leave the plane – even with the cabin door open.
"This is such a nuance, though," JetBlue CEO Dave Barger is quoted as saying by Bloomberg Television (via NJ.com).
"I'm sure there are some lessons learned," he says, adding "we're cooperating" with the DOT.
A JetBlue spokesperson tells Air Transport World that the agency moved to correct the oversight, adding: "We now have a fully compliant plan in place."
However, JetBlue isn't the only carrier to be singled out by the DOT this week. The agency also cited three international carriers – Royal Jordanian Airlines, EgyptAir, and Royal Air Maroc -- for violating an a new set of passenger-protection provisions that the DOT added to the original rules. The newer rules went into effect in January.
In a release explaining the violations of the foreign carriers, the DOT says:
- Royal Jordanian Airlines violated the rule on full-fare advertising and the rule requiring the disclosure of fees for baggage and was assessed a civil penalty of $70,000.
- EgyptAir violated rules requiring the disclosure of fees for baggage and the inclusion of assurances in its customer service plan allowing consumers to cancel a reservation without penalty for 24 hours after they book a flight and was assessed a civil penalty of $60,000.
- Royal Air Maroc violated the rule requiring the disclosure of fees for baggage and was assessed a civil penalty of $60,000.
Each carrier also was ordered to cease and desist from further violations. The Department discovered the violations during its ongoing review of carrier websites to ensure compliance with its consumer protection rules.
