Man no wonder you made it past phase 2....

What I think is funny is that YOU ALL (including BD) did the same thing to get hired here.

If you want to say bye or something pilot related, then cool. Cleaning? Not pilot related. Maybe instead of cleaning seatbacks you could clean the flight deck since it’s not ever cleaned by cleaners. Then at least you are helping pilots with your janitorial services.

Thanks for helping though. You sound like perfect jetblue material. Targeted hiring at its finest.
Did you do something different on interview day? Nice seeing you a couple weeks ago in the crew room.

No I most definitely did NOT. I got hired at JB after never having set foot on a JB aircraft. I knew nothing about forced cleaning, and it was never asked nor mentioned in the interview.

Before my interview I only had been on a blue plane on the way to the interview. Before giggity made it her personal mission to degrade our profession. If she really wanted to help she should have had the whole leadership team in jfk on Xmas cleaning the planes, just to help the otp.

lol i think they picture me in the back on my hands and knees with a vacuum cleaning. P.S. I'll never be on my hands and knees. Really didnt mean to get anyones nipples in twist. Maybe it's my years of a regional mindset of tight knit crews and helping FA's on quick turns where we didnt have cleaners. By no means am I back peddling either. I stick to what i said. At the same time I'm not a jetBlue employee so I'm not completely aware of all of the ins and outs of what JB flight crews have had to deal with in the past when it comes to managements expectations.

Honestly I did the exact same thing at my regional. It felt like the right thing to do. Honestly I’d probably help do more for the back or gate agents if the company didn’t try their hardest to make everything mandatory. Is t it funny how their plans backfire on them.
