Jinn?
According to critics, an eavesdropper, constantly striving to go behind the curtains of heaven in order to steal divine secrets. May grant wishes.

Amazed by an airline
Whitney Tilson:
Having studied JetBlue carefully and flown it roughly two dozen times, I'm convinced that it is not only the greatest airline I've ever encountered, but one of the finest businesses in the world. Seriously. Not in the sense that its margins or competitive advantages can rival those of, say, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) or Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), but rather that its strategy, execution, culture, customer service, and success relative to its industry are among the most impressive I've ever seen. Thus, I think every entrepreneur, businessperson, and investor should study JetBlue carefully because it is a fascinating, illuminating case study in ways that I will highlight in this and subsequent columns.Tilson thinks JetBlue could be the WalMart of air travel.
