Flew US air from PHL to the islands for work. 4 hr flight and only one drink service, one!. Flew Jet Blue from JFK to Jamaica for pleasure and had a great service, free tv. I have always been impressed by Jet blue crews and they are super great when it comes to non rev. If there is a seat they get me on. Gate agents on the "other" 3 sometimes have left me because they just didn't have time or didn't want to deal with me.
When it comes to international travel for pleasure I usually go with a foreign carrier if I can. Service is above and beyond the big 3's. Maybe with the recent and continuing hiring of new FAs that may change.

Aren't or weren't you at one time trying to get hired by Delta? I seem to remember some posts by you in other threads talking about not being able to get called for an interview.

Wow...I want to know where I can get some of what you're smoking (and I sincerely hope you're right, as a QX pilot it'd be nice to have some good news, not a kick in the balls...as is standard).

Common around QX is "believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you see!"

This is the beginning of the end of JetBlue. Ill bet with this news Airbus will stop paying for JetBlue maintenance.

What does that have to do with the customer service from the FA's in DAL first/business?

Why would you want to work for a company that has customer service below your expectations? I know that if I thought a company was sub-par, I sure wouldn't want to have anything to do with it. After all, you would have to interact on a daily basis with those you feel are bad employees. That sure would make for a long miserable career.

Being a customer and being an employee are two different things. Customer service is an easy thing to fix if the company chooses. But I guess it's just as easy to put your head in the sand and disregard any constructive criticism.

You're still missing the point. If you were an employee, what would you do to fix the problem? That's what I am getting at. What are you prepared to do to correct the FAs? Or are you going to complain about the service as a customer, but just bury your head in the sand and collect a paycheck as an employee? How do you have pride in your company and job, if in your heart and mind, you know you work for a company and management that provides crappy service?

As for your "constructive" criticism, I, and management, apparently do not agree with your assessment of the issue. What I see is an individual who likes to pile on, but then turns around and says, "Oh, but can I have a job too?" That's kinda two faced.

Ok, ok, you are so correct. I'm moving on I see there is no point to this discussion. I know you don't consider me a paying customer, hopefully you don't treat customers that are outside the aviation industry the same and with the same sense of cynicism.
