Did they seriously write “accomidate”?

RE: JetJournalist’s Comments.

To clarify, the comments above are incorrect. JetJournalist was told that JetAmerica could not be able to accomidate his request for a lengthy interview with the Chief Exectuive Officer until June 15, 2009.

JetJournalist was offered an opportunity to speak with the Chief Operating Officer.

Good times are over “JJ.” Dyno-mite.

JetAmerica is committed to providing journalists with all the information they request to develop accurate, fair and balanced stories. Sometimes, we can not always afford access to our top executives, especially while JetAmerica is coordinating the various aspects of launching our first flights.

Thank you

I am a freelance journalist for several well-known travel publications. Get this.

I contacted the public relations guy for JetAmerica, whose online resume shows he’s worked with Virgin Atlantic and JetBlue. Obviously a heavy hitter. I asked to interview a JetAmerica spokesperson for one of my client magazines. I got an e-mail back that says,
“At this time JetAmerica has been flooded with media interview requests and cannot accomidate your inquiry until June 15, 2009. Please contact us then. We regret any inconvenience this may cause.”

So, I had my editor, from a highly impressive magazine, send the PR guy an e-mail. She got the same response.

What does this tell you? (A) No comment? (B) We don’t have any money to pay for PR? (C) We’re hiding something? (D) We are already acting stupid and small time? (F) We’re gonna do it to our passengers like we’re doing it to reporters? (G) All of the Above? WHAT’S THE ANSWER Gee. Hey, JetAmerica next time you want good press you ain’t gonna get it
