message: I have cleaned up the article a bit per WP:MOS, including:

message: This page refers to jetblue as a no frills carrier.  I have flown with them a couple of times and they have: free food & live satelite tv.  So I would not compare them with the likes of ryanair and easyjet which are true no frils airlines  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.116.66.236 (talk) 18:03, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

message: "However, it was James Callaghan's "pro-union" Labour Government that awarded Laker his knighthood for services to the airline industry in 1978, rather than Margaret Thatcher's subsequent "pro-business" Conservative administration (although the latter had recommended him for his service to private enterprise in her capacity as the then leader of the opposition)."
I'm not an expert on this, but it's my understanding that it's customary for the opposition to make some recommendations for awards which are generally proceeded with, someone please correct me. The fact that Callaghan awarded this is somewhat moot. Indieshack (talk) 14:03, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
