Come on @jetblue this is me getting off the plane Come on @jetblue this is me getting off the plane that had mechanical problems over 2 hours ago. That was after I sat on the plane for almost an hour and a half. I'm still trying to get rebooked along with several other people and none of us have even been given some water. I know you can do better.
