Jetblue has never focused on D0 and only recently A14 while increasing turn times and “touch times” for mechanics. This isnt a about Neeleman or unions its about bad decision making from management,
Not only is there not an urgency to hit D0, but when there is a delay, it seems like some stop caring. The posted delay time should also be a goal to hit to prevent further delays. I don’t know if they track that but I hope they do. Regarding A14, it is contingent upon D0. It starts at the departure gate.
