Blue2,
Contrary to popular belief, many of us at JetBlue have actively selected to be here OVER Southwest, Fed Ex, and Alaska due to the above list of 1-9. Even after 9-11 this 1-9 list was still being pumped into the interview process to "sell" the position in order to get this airline growing. This is where a lot of what was said "was never said" like the infamous we don't want career flight attendants. So, based on what "was never said" played vital roles in many individual's SELECTION of airline. This has set understandable expectations for many. Now that the baseline of the industry has dropped further, we can point to the demise of others. This has fostered a take it or leave it attitude which is not healthy for morale. This airline is full of hardworking pilots! There is not a single pilot that wants to rob the company or see it go out of business. I love this place but we have got to take care of our own!
Lounge and cockpit gossip.....you know better than that.
