1. I want to go work for Jet Blue.

At least they penalize you for being an asshole. If you attack the US Capitol, it only costs you 500 dollars.

2. They may face more consequences than some of the

Jan 6 seditionists.
Let me add that they deserve these fines but the seditionists need some serious fines and prison time

6. Totally agree

Jet Blue better protects their employees than Uncle Sam does.

4. They should ban them from flying (at least on Jetblue) again. Nt

5. No fly list for life should be...

...part of the consequences.

8. If I were magically made a billionaire, I'd like to hire lawyers to do pro bono work like

suing the pants off of the people who punched and threatened to kill other passengers. I would like to see those victims have their rights completely vindicated, without it costing them anything to do so.

(if I were a billionaire there's a lot of stuff I'd do to try to make the world a better place -- such as not being a billionaire -- of course, but this would be one of those nice little side projects)
