Look I separate JetBlue from my profession. To me while I’m uniform I represent all “pilots”. Like it or not we are still looked upon very favorably by the public.
Back when I was doing Pro Standards they did a little quiz with us. They asked 100 people how they would describe pilots. They asked us what we thought they said. We came up with mostly negative stuff. Greedy, arrogant and so on.
The public’s answers were all positive.
Smart, trustworthy and so on.
It was amazing to see how we view ourselves vs the public.
I know guys hate the questions in the airport or the conversations at a party about what route you fly but it’s because we still hold the public’s trust and interest.
I don’t help the lady with a baby or take the UM up to the gate because of JetBlue I do it because I can help vs just standing there. Now yes you can go to far but just be a person and think if you were on the other side what you you think.
