What's up with Jetblue?

We've devolved like every other major airline. Well, except we have no scope, work rules, retirement, democratic process, union, CBA, etc. Our J/S dudes are great guys, but at the end of the day how much leverage do you think they have?

I won't be changing my routine of sweeping the gate area for J/S-ers anytime soon. But honestly, during 7 years of commuting I had 1 Airtran dude come out to the gate to check to see if J/S-ers were being taken care of. ONE!! I did have a SWA CA get involved years ago when they only allowed 2 OAL J/S-ers but he ended up getting overruled by the flaming FLL gate agent.

Other airlines I've commuted on where I never personally saw the flightcrew looking our for J/S-ers (me): AA, CAL, DAL, Comair, Eagle, USAIR, Northwest.
