JetBlue: Tower, is our speed compatible with the aircraft ahead of us?
Tower: As long as you don’t go to warp factor 6, you should be fine.

Key Takeaways:
- A JetBlue pilot inquired with JFK Tower about maintaining compatible speed with the aircraft ahead.

- The anecdote highlights a lighthearted exchange between air traffic control and a pilot.
