JetBlue employees have a hard enough time getting anywhere out of SLC. Probably the most difficult airport in the entire system. The reservation folks out there have a sweetheart of a deal (thanks to Neeleman) that gives them great priority on the seats. Due to the large Mormon population you will often see a family listed for nonrev with 6+ in their party.

And my question on dress code was from watching the TV clip where they buddy pass traveler was dressed in shorts and a t-shirt.

With this policy, if the pass rider sues, the airline tenders the lawsuit right back to the pass rider and his friend demanding they hire Counsel, defend the airline and pay the costs including that of any judgement the pass rider might be successful in obtaining. This would could be broadly worded to include the cost of any advertising injury, slander or libel.
Put the responsibility right back where it belongs.

There's nothing wrong with a pair of nice jeans or even shorts in the summer. But flip flops, sweatpants and cutoffs, I mean really? And in first? Although if you can fill first, even international, with small children then who cares at that point anyway.

1. What does the Jet Blue pilot working agreement have to say with regards to buddy passes? Oh, that's right, there isn't one.
2. For all of you (us) that do have a contract: At what point do we demand something in return for this negotiated benefit that has slowly been bled from our side of the compensation ledger?
In both cases, we are are own worst enemy.
Curtis Saxton is just an individual moron who has highlighted it.

The biggest problem was the person who gave this family the buddy passes, without explaining how a buddy pass works and what kind of seat availability there was for the airport he wanted to travel to.
I still work in aviation, though not at an airline. I have a friend who does work for an airline and am happy that he will allow me to use some of his buddy passes. But we check the passenger loads very carefully for my planned itinerary, and I plan travel dates accordingly.
