Crankyflier.com, the airline industry blog that first reported on JetBlue's concerns about lack of progress on improvements at the Long Beach Airport and then was derided by City Council members Tuesday, has posted a response to the council.

He shoots down some of the council members' claims about how he had gotten the information and how local media had obtained it. The blogger provides an interesting perspective, and you can check it out here.

Today I wrote a column setting the record straight about some of the council members' comments as well.

If you want to listen to the whole council discussion, go to the city's video archive of the meeting, then click on item No. 15.
