This should be your first indication of many to come that JetBlue does everything on the cheap and does not always exemplify their own core values. It is a very immature company in many ways. There will be many other indicators along the way during your first year that the company isn't all rainbows and hugs like they want you to believe. Ask the new hires who can't get a uniform coat for months and are based in NY or BOS during the winter...then criticized if they wear their civilian coat. This isn't a new problem either...they've been told this many times. Why does JetBlue have a new Flight Attendant interviewing pilot candidates (with the pilot rep)? This is absurd! Just a couple examples....

Just saying to beware...Yes, it's a job flying shiny bigger jets, but it's not a job at the big leagues yet. Don't be satisfied with marginally better...keep working to make it a better company.
