Jetblue founder for expanded use of natural gas

Needleman on Cavuto pushing natural gas for jet fuel for trucks, airplanes.  Feels fracking is ok.



Needleman co-founded (with June Morris) Morris Air, a low-fare charter airline, and from 1984 to 1988, he was executive vice president of the company. In 1988 Neeleman assumed the helm of Morris Air as its president. Then when Morris Air was acquired by Southwest Airlines for $20 million in 1993, he worked for a short time on their Executive Planning Committee. [4]

After leaving Southwest, Neeleman became the CEO of Open Skies, a touch screenairline reservation and check-in systems company, later acquired by HP in 1999. At the same time, he helped with another upstart airline, WestJet. JetBlue was incorporated in Delaware in August 1998 and officially founded in February 1999, under the name "NewAir." by Neeleman.[5]
