It is not just about the the contract. The culture of JetBlue is a problem. Remember we don't have pilots and flight attendants at JetBlue, we have CREWMEMBERS. Pilots at JetBlue are treated on par with flight attendants and this is not going to change anytime soon. The way this company handles IROP's is on par with the worst of the regionals. Last week, after a few inches of snow I waited well over an hour on hold with crew services to get a hotel. I was promised a hotel room ASAP and in the end I did not get one till 8 hours later. Because I did not get the room till 5AM, now I was illegal fly my scheduled flight that day. This type of stuff just doesn't happen at the other Majors.
