You meant the first time they have been properly staffed. Not suppose to run an airline on reserves. Reserves are exactly as the name indicates. Now the effiency on how they use reserves is abysmal.

a large part of that is CBA and 117 duty limits. 2.5hr callout, plus 1hr before departure, plus a 5-7hr to operate a flight, along with a 1hr buffer on the back end (don’t forget to include the 15min debrief for CBA limits). After all that there isn’t much room for delay before you go illegal.

I completely agree with you that an airline shouldn’t be run on the backs of reserves. However that hasn’t been the JetBlue formula for my tenure. Could the change be recent management changes (which bring a different approach towards reserves/staffing) or are we ramping up staffing for deliveries that don’t seem to be coming at the pace that the order books say? Either way my beard is getting long and my 2 day visit to JBU is rapidly approaching 😂😅🥲

Either way, he has a full beard, not getting called either on his LCR days nor any VDA days he might have put in (like you said isn’t happening for now) for and making 280+. That won’t last long though. But still to contradict todd1200 currently is completely plausible.
