Bottom line I hope no-one from Jet Blue tries to Jump Seat with us.

Please post your name commute station and your carrier.

Jetblue treats commuters better than most. At least when people show up at my airplane they have an actual seat assignment unlike delta.

.02%

If you make $100K, then you get $200.00 in profit sharing.

You taking yours in cash or putting it all in the 401k? 😃

Yes you do. I’m a JFK commuter to PHX/SEA and I wish you had more flights so I could bum a ride more often. I have always been treated exceptionally well.

I did notice on my last flight from SEA to JFK that it had the first class (Mint?) seats and a bunch of them were empty. I did not ask why j/s or nonrevs were not allowed up there. I don’t rock the boat when I’m a guest trying to go to work.

By my calculation, that is 0.2%

Hopefully you’ll see changes to that. Until a few days ago we (jetblue employees) have had to pay $75 to sit in Mint. Now it’s free to us. So hopefully that will allow upgrades for jumpseaters. If it were my plane you would. But I’m a 190 guy so all I can guarantee you is no middle seat.

On the other hand deadheading pilots can’t even get upgraded to Mint so we’ll see how this all works out.

Doesn't bother me at all.

Too many snowflakes here who get their feelings hurt when someone corrects them on spelling/grammar, the difference between 'then' and 'than', using the phrase 'I COULD care less', etc...

I appreciate the correction and his/her unemotional post.

Yea that stinks. We aren’t allowed to offer it yet but that is changing. I’d be happy to just be able to offer the seat to commuters.
