I don't know much about JetBlue or UALs work rules but here are a few of my favorites.
--hard minimum of 4 days off between pairings
--Line bidding (allows for conflicts which we are pay protected for)
-- days can not be rolled (means on day 4 they can't call you and make you go somewhere for a 5th night.
--reserve work rules are better then most airlines. It's a bit complicated and too many examples to list
-- junior man pay is 200%(Scheduling calls you and asks you if you would like to fly a trip they need covered) I'd prefer 150% open time pick up to be honest.
--small detail but if you're stuck working a holiday you get paid $75 extra
--my personal favorite. On your last day of reserve you are automatically released 6hrs prior to the end of your call out
-- whatever trip you get assigned while on reserve, it has to get you back no later than 4 hrs past the end of your call out time.
--get paid an extra day if you get in past 2am
