The technology that keeps an airline running: Esther Dyson speaks with JetBlue Head of Technology, Todd Thomson
The analogy that an airline is like a
swan gliding along a lake, while its feet are peddling madly and inelegantly
under the surface rings true in this 7 minute video clip.
Esther Dyson is a much respected Internet
identity who runs a website (amongst many things) called Release
1.0.
Recently, she interviewed
JetBlue's CIO
Todd Thompson about how technology helps the airline make adjustments to
schedules, crews, weather, unexpected events and all those things airline
advertisements don't mention lest it interfere with your impression that it's
plain sailing, or flying.
