Just make sure the crew is not furloughed from UAL, CAL, USAir or some other wonderful airline THAT KICKED THEM OUT.
My personal experinece, after 5 different airlines, is that the JetBlue group of pilots is the best bunch of guys I have ever worked with. Proud to be one of them.

Well yes, I absolutely am a Union SkyGirl! I like work rules and want to know that me and my family are flying on an airline where I know the pilots and flight attendants aren't exhausted. As far as your comments about UAL and CAL crews, I was merely voicing my opinion about the quality of their employees that I have met, I was not judging your pilot skills - I am not a pilot! I travel a lot and meet lots of air crews during my travels. I often stay in the same hotels, and have often had a friendly dinner and a drink with some of them. My experience has been mostly positive with those particular crews - Mostly intelligent, interesting people from all walks of life, all faiths, as well as all political persuasions! Not to say that any other airline lack crews of the same quality, but coincidentally, those two airlines are the crews that I have met the most in my travels.

I don't book JetBlue for my clients, but they are free to do so on their own. I understand that they are now wooing travel agents. Logistically, United is the most traveled airline amongst my clientele, as I live in SFO, however much of my clientele also travel on Singapore, Cathay, Air New Zealand, Quantas, etc.
