TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Charlie Crist and the chief executive of JetBlue Airways said Tuesday the company is considering moving its headquarters from New York to Orlando.
"We'd love to have JetBlue move to Florida and fortunately, that's under pretty serious consideration," Crist told reporters in an impromptu press conference outside the Governor's Mansion Tuesday evening.
"It could mean 800 new jobs in the Orlando area," Crist said.
Dave Barger, CEO of JetBlue, met privately with the governor earlier and noted JetBlue already has its training facility in Orlando.

Well, they will have plenty of Haitian refugees to choose from for those 800 jobs.
So, the Soros-funded JetBlue is making kissy-face with Crist. Hm.
Looks like Jet-Blue has followed Rush out of NYC. ;-) Everyone gets a pay-raise without costing the company anything except paying for the move.
FL = no state income tax = a good thing... take that NY!
Just keep raising taxes and fees, NY. And keep harassing business.
We should be rid of all those evil companies soon.
Then we will have a glorious State!
(Do I really need a sarcasm tag?)
