Another effort to pass along some holiday cheer - this time by Jet Blue.
"It seems airlines want to one-up Santa this year. JetBlue surprised stranded people this holiday season with free flights home. The airline scanned Craigslist's rideshare community board for people searching for a lift to their friends and families' places before Dec. 25. The company reached out to a few lucky people, video chatting with them and asking if they could somehow make it to an airport."

It's interesting to note that David_Neeleman, a founder of Morris Air (later absorbed into Southwest), later went on to help form WestJet and then JetBlue and most recently Azul (Brazil)
