So, this is pretty upsetting. Remember last month, when there was that sighting of Dick Fuld flying– I don’t even want to say it but here it comes– commercial? Apparently he wasn’t just fucking with us for personal amusement. He might actually be serious about this shit, as evidenced by a second glimpse of Dick and wife Kathy “being instructed by a man who appeared to be their driver on how to work the JetBlue self check-in kiosk at Palm Beach airport en route to La Guardia” a few days back. What’s next, huh? Declining a pillow cause he can’t come up with the 5-spot? Saying thanks but no thanks to the $3 bag of nuts? Seriously, hit me with it. I want to be mentally prepared.

Dick must be amused at how us simple peons live
any body see Honda is writing one year puts on their cars now. Buy any car and if you lose your job you can return it for 12 months…. how long until they go BK? Everyone who thinks they’re about to get about to get laid off, Honda is offering free rentals! Suck it Hertz.
you still have to make your lease payment while your drive the car numbnuts.
or what? they’ll take the car back?
@2 – It’s Hyundai, and you have to make the payments until you give it back idiot.
No wonder his bank failed if he needs help working the JetBlue kiosk; those things are idiot proof.

@5:
oh really, never mind then. I thought it was Honda. Hyundai should be paying people to drive their cars, anyway.
Is it hyundai?
To tie these comments together, the bottom will be when Dick Fuld loses the driver and takes Hyundai up on this offer. Korean Development Bank will turn his down (again) if he tries to finance it though.
expect to see Dick supersizing your next food order, or parking your Maxima….
You think Dick is bad wait until you see what happens to Ken “We are NOT cutting our dividend” Lewis and his adjustment after the Merril deal blows up in his face.
he’s not just flying commercial, he’s flying discount airline coach.
@10:
actually it was the puts sotheby’s wrote on the Fuld’s art collection that made me think of it.

14 No surprise there. Now he’s acting like the merely rich, which is slightly cheep, cutting corners in places where it doesn’t matter all that much. Where there’s very little marginal utility to be gained from spending a lot more. I wouldn’t be surprised if next we see his wife and housekeeper pushing a cart through the aisles of the local Costco.
the problem with flying private all those years means that tricky dick wasn’t able to make it to lifetime platinum status on american (free upgrades) or some other carrier. who said loyalty progams suck? jetblue – at least it’s a step up from spirit air (for those of you who fly to myrtle)…
Any airline that gives you animal crackers and a choice of 20 channels is ace. Don’t knock it.
speaking of the EWR-Myrtle route: is Hooters Air still in business?
@girl – try a personal dvd player, a real meal and free cocktais…for the price of a coach ticket (to the west coast). now that’s money.
what’s next? Dick with a metro card?
I will only feel slightly sorry for him if he is squeezed into a seat on a greyhound bus next to a 350lb biggest loser contestant travelling from NY to LA
surreal. i hope jetblue had the sense to carry their bags for them at least.
Can someone please short Time Warner into a break up. I hate that company.
Dick sucks.
@25
If you hate Time Warner, pray to whatever God you believe in that you may never, ever have to use Comcast. I’ve used both, and Comcast is run by the spawn of Satan.
Bess-
All snacks are free on Jetblue. The real question is if he sprang for the $30 “more legroom” seats. Those are money.
IC-
What are you talking about? Virgin America?
#20-
Sadly, Hooters Air is no longer in business.
@ Cluzo, so is being carried atop an elephant on a day bed, but I’m pretty partial to animal crackers and Love Actually.
@5,7,and 8. The only idiot here is you. Hit the button one fucking time!
i cant use those machines and i only fly commercial.
I had comcast, Time Warner and currently stuck with cablevision in Greenwich.
The quality of HD, interface and selection of on demand movies on Time Warner is far superiror to both.
Cablevision is garbage! It takes 3-5 sec delay to change channels, on demand movies suck and HD quality is crap. On top of all this, they keep on calling about the phone service.
Comcast is horrible too!
Time Warner Cable

I am officially declaring a ban on “spawn of satan” jokes. They are stupid.
@34
Apparently the submit post button is a bit past you also
@28 – american, I’m platinum and with all the co’s cutting back, the front of the bus always has extra seats. so american fills it with flyers with status starting with exec platinum.
@girl – love actually? now I know why hbo plays that damn movie 5 times a day (if you have all of their channels). as for flying, I’ll buy barrel of animal crackers from staples and take the first class ticket…you can have jet blue and their 3 hour waits on the tarmac.
@33 – tube8? wtf? notice how FIOS is practicing its own brand of red-lining. I guess it doesn’t count when you’re just laying the pipe and not selling to customers. but I’m fairly certain you can’t get it in the low rent districts. pretty damn savvy…
InvestorCluzo – as a Brit, can I just apologise on behalf of my country for Love Actually. Can’t believe they show it on HBO. So, we get Curb and The Wire (albeit late) and you get that piece of shite? Blimey.
Why would anyone be surprised by Fulds’ flying commercial? Dick Fuld sold 2MM LEH shares at about .25. How else would Fulds fly?
@22 bl00mberg uses a metrocard
@41- dont come back here til you can detect sarcasm
@27, @32, Comcast blows. Their service is horrendous and they overcharge. Unfortunately they have a near monopoly.
why not get direct tv?
@45 – ever trying watching the tube during a storm? direct tv blows when you need it most…
I bet Dick was flying JetBlue to HPN, not LaGuardia. It’s 5 minutes from his house, although there is precious little parking for a Hyundai. And I hope he did spring the extra $20 for the extra 4″ of legroom.
I have been on the subway with Bloomberg. His drives in his gas hog SUV to the subway stop and gets on with a few goon body guards. While it may be symbolic, I still like the idea of a mayor riding on the subway.
They should have a progressive Metrocard. If you are out of work it will charge you 75 cents for one ride. If you are a rich guy like Mike it charges you 1 million dollars a ride. That should fix the MTA budget deficits.
@ 11
epic WIN (currently @ BMW dealership LMAO)
He can fly for free at the end of my shoe if I ever bump into him.
If the story is true, good for Fuld. You people are grabbing your pitch forks if he flies first class and you mock him if he goes Jet Blue, so why should he care about any of the self pitying whining you engage in?!!!!
48 He gets on at 59, off at City Hall -thats three stops on one train. And he gets driven from his house to the subway. I appreciate his effort like you do, but think about how much more annoying and time consuming it would be if he did it like a typical New Yorkeer. First walk from 79/Fifth to 77/Lex to take the 6 to 42nd (4 stops) then change to the express (two stops). The real pain of subway commuting comes from the hike to the train stop (esp upper east, where with only one line, its likely yr not near a station) and having to switch trians from express to local or from one line to another which practically doubles the travel time.
dick fuld and alot like him are screwing us. where is the fight americans use to have. instead every one bends over and these fuckin idiots shove a broom stick up our assess.than we stand there and take it next time you go to a supermarket look who is putting grocereys in your bag.some OLDER MAN or WOMAN that these idiots screwed is one of these people your mom or dad i see this alot . thats because greedy fucks like fuld dont give a shit and there doing it to you and me. he needs a punch in the fuckin face. i hope that asshole chokes on his fuckin high fancy lunch.
6ztUgL Great, thanks for sharing this blog. Fantastic.
