Hello and welcome to the advice line on how I built this lab.

I'm Guy Raz.

This is the place where we help try to solve your business challenges.

Each week, I'm joined by a legendary founder, a former guest on this show, who will help me try to

help you. And if you're building something and you need advice, give us a call and you just

might be the next guest on the show. Our number is 1-800-433-1298. Leave us a one-minute message

that tells us about your business and the issues or questions that you like help with. All right,

let's get to it.

Joining me this week is David Nealiman, founder of JetBlue, which he founded in 1998.

David is also the founder of Azul, which is now one of the largest airlines in South America.

And he's also the founder and CEO of another airline in the U.S.

It's called Breeze Airways, which began

operating in 2021. David, it's great to have you back on the show. Always great to talk to you,

Guy. So you've been on the show, I think, three times in the past. You were first on back in

2019 when, of course, you shared the story of how you started your first airline, which was Morris Air, which was acquired by Southwest. And then you got up, you ended up getting fired by Southwest. But then you launched JetBlue and turned it into this incredible business. And then you got fired from that. And then you started another airline in South America and another one called Breeze. It's just an incredible

story. We will put a link to it in the show notes if you guys have not heard that episode. It's

really, really, really good. It's just an amazing story. So thank you for coming back onto the show,

David. Before we get to today's callers, I want to ask you a couple questions about what's been going on in your life since you were last on.

So you started Breeze, and I think we talked a little bit about that when you were last on.

It's been now going since 2021, and you're flying.

I think only Airbus A-220s, is that right?

That's correct.
