Johnny Utah According to my pilot friend, it is pretty common. Although, JetBlue is known for having tire problems. O Levy Thanx for the info! A guy at work had his flight cancelled unexpectedly yesterday (he was to fly out this morning from LB to NY). I'm guessing this was the reason. They were probably short a plane!
