It’s funny I h e the exact opposite approach to commuting. If my report is at 1800 I show up as late as possible. If I miss my trip oh well I get an extra few days at home. It’s really nice actually haha. I learned a long time ago not to stress about most stuff especially at Jetblue.

That’s funny, I’ve stayed at 3 holiday inns at JB. FWIW, I am by no means defending JB.

Or PWM which is shared with Delta and SW.

I worked at 2 different regionals before coming here, hotels are significantly better here.

Have you ever jumpsat on Jetblue? This couldn't be further from the truth.

And Dulles, and SFO. We share with Delta...or Delta flight attendants? Big difference. Come on, our hotel quality is pretty low compared to the majors and even Spirit sometimes.

That's great for your friend, but it doesn't really help the newcomer trying to see if Jetblue is a good fit. Heck I've been here for 2-3 years and don't see any path to the top of the Jetblue payscale....190 yes, but not the Airbus.

34....It's going backwards in BOS on the 320(which is where I live). I suppose I could commute to JFK, but even that is probably 8+ years currently (last system bid was -13). Yes I know....things change.
