As others have posted. JetBLue is NOT the carrier that we joined years ago. Nor is it the carrier that management and koolaid drinkers tell you it is.
In the last 5 or so years, they have terminated a number of pilots for various reasons. The latest two are fighting the terminations and both have good chances to be paid off (big $$$$), reinstated or both. Management if violating our PEA and not following the disupute resolution process and violating the FOQA and ASAP programs to terminate guys. It has turned into a very hostile work envioirment, especially if you are pro-union. However, every work group is having similar issues. They are terminating FAs for the least little thing and just terminated the #1 FA. Seems new hires FAs are cheaper than senior FAs ($18/hr vs $40+ per hour)
Coming to JetBlue can be a good stepping stone to a real major (as long as you don't need PIC time). However, everyone needs to come here with your eyes wide open.
Just my opinion......
