Apparently as another guy said life is miserable here, I think that’s a bit of a stretch. And to finish it off we all assume this will be the status here forever (bluedriver I’m still waiting for a date for the CBA vs sometime in the future).
I am not defending Blue here at all but I do think we need to matain just a little perspective. I will say it again as I have before. JetBlue is a “regional player” it is east coast focused, it flys narrow body aircraft and has a schedule that focuses heavily on the vacation flyers. We are working on a first contract and have literally altered the culture here by doing the right thing and voting in a union. It’s a painful time and managment is being management. If you come here expecting anything else you are not going to be happy. Will it get better I absolutely think it will but it’s not easy getting to that point. The difference here is we are not the only game in town. Again absolutely not defending just trying to be a realist. If you don’t want to be here (and it’s sad if that’s the case and JetBlue is largely to blame) update your apps and go. There is no point to be unhappy in such an amazing hiring environment.
