Would you put your family in an Uber with a convicted, violent felon?
then why would you work for a company that hired one and is going to let fly an airplane despite hundreds of complaints from its Crewmembers.
think of that little nugget before you apply at Jetblue.

I tend to suspect that the dude really and truly has reformed himself, getting medical and certs back would have required some very major (and I think very sincere) tap dancing. Same for getting hired at an airline, especially a brand-name major. This wouldn't have surprised me one bit at an outsourced FFD operation, but a little surprising at B6.
But boy does it seem like a sketchy PR proposition in the pound me too era. Not to mention the probable backlash from cockpit coworkers.

in fairness, employment laws in some states don’t give companies many options to discriminate against people who have served their time on the theory they have “paid there debt to society.” I don’t personally believe that someone who has committed a serious (and irrational) crime is the moral equivalent of someone who hasn’t, but many state legislatures don’t see it that way. And if the FAA didn’t have the cojones to deny the guy an ATP or deny him a medical, I’m not sure you can blame JetBlue.

I do not disagree with anything you stated but at some point a morally balanced company has to decide whether a violent criminal is worth the lawsuits and bad press when the statistics bear out. This individual knew which carrier had a weak HR department and targeted it.
Any employee of jetblue should be fearful of their safety and for the future of the carrier.
