It's not necessarily an RJ FO. It's a selection process which targets a background more inclined to believe an ideal. Can you fly a plane, yes. Do you have any skeletons, no. Are you willing to believe in a set of values to govern your employment? If yea then you meet the criteria.

The issue is the value system at JetBlue is one sided. While you will be asked to use this value system as a basis for your employment management acts on the basis of a bottom line only. Hence the reductions in nearly every measurable category.

At the beginning of this airline this value system meant something and was abided by both sides. Today things are different as evident in the latest PVC emails. Diciplinary action is up while request for better contractual protections are down. The latest coo conference call was very telling. Important issues like health care or better protections are left out of the PEA solely to allow management to change them at will.
