Pros
Travel benefits, co-workers, self managed for the most part.
Kontras
Where do I begin? Flight attendant management has gone from bad to worse over the past two years. Management has done a very poor resource planning job where we are flying too many routes without adequate staffing. They are pointing fingers at us for getting sick. When people are constantly pushed to work 16+ hour duty days, they will get sick. Jetblue also decided it was a wise move to expand out of places with chronic operational and delay problems without proper resources. There is a reason why Southwest pulled out of EWR; it ended up not being cost-effective. We are also expanding out of LGA; I can’t wait to see that circus. These two airports are constantly causing us downline issues. There have been several threatening emails to our workgroup from our management; we are being punished with extra dependability points for being sick. The airline industry has become very popular with hostile passengers, which creates a hostile work environment. Instead of offering us resources to cope with it, they are sending us threats. A lot of my colleagues are having anxiety going to work as a result of poor treatment by management and a hostile work environment. Also, I question their corporate social responsibility. We were and are still not required to test for Covid after a close exposure. They just tell us to monitor the symptoms, as if it was not determined that people can be asymptomatic. We could be flying around positive super spreading the virus because JB does not want to remove and pay their flight attendants to get tested. All the corporate social responsibility is for show and is definitely not intrinsic. Other airlines ensured you tested negative before allowing you to return to work; that seems to be more responsible.
