The cleaning thing is what really gets to me though, mostly this line right here

"Buddy Pass Riders & family members should clean their row and deplane."

Guess what I don't tell people who use my buddy passes? That they need to clean the airplane. Why? Because that's embarrassing. I'm not making my wife clean our airplane while we fly, and I'm not telling my friends that use my buddy passes to clean up either. I'll cross belts and pickup my own trash if I'm non-revving, but I'm not making my family/friends do it.

Every airliner I've ever been on is a disgusting melting pot of nasty, sticky grossness. I will never stick my hand into the back of a seat pocket. I've gotten sick so many times and had to call out while working for the airlines, the last thing I'm going to do is go clean after the general public. I used to clean lavs and cabins while in the corporate world, and it wasn't that bad and I hardly ever got sick. Cleaning an airliner? No thanks.

Think of it as an opportunity for someone who is not bound by arbitration to sue JetBlue and actually win in a court of law and due process. Unfortunately JetBlue pilots only get the kangaroo court of arbitration.

BTW, where is it in the SOP that we clean planes on a nonrev flight? I guess it is not even an SOP, maybe? It is just a benefit contingent on cleaning? The only place I found it was on the travel page. And, BTW, whoever posted the “culture pic of the week” with the little girl cleaning with blue gloves on is pretty irresponsible, in MY opinion.

I like the argument that I am using my jumpseat privileges, therefore you can’t force me to help out cleaning.
Even if the flight shows plenty of open seats and I know I’ll get one, I still fill out a jumpseat request form, have them verify on CASS and introduce myself to the CA.

Southwest just added superbowl flights from BOS/PHL to MSP. AA and UA have already added flights Between BOS-MSP.

Aren't we like the offial airline of thr Patriots? How is it we don't have any flighrs, yet? Management really is asleep at the wheel.

Can’t just create service with the snap of a finger. And can’t fault Jetblue for not having these wheels in motion sooner, when it was just 3 days ago that the Pats were decided to be in the super bowl. But it also shouldn’t take months either.... but hey! That Palm Springs flight though!

Again this is just another example of their incompetence that should make everyone on property concerned. It's not like the the NFL announced that the Super Bowl was going to be played in Minneapolis a couple months ago.

The comment! Other than 2 hero’s who are calling BS, it is juice central. “The future of aviation!” Puke.

"Well sweetheart, jetblue is addicted to free labor and I had to pimp you out to set the example."
