Good luck Carolyn. I'm sure you will be vindicated. A union is only as good as it's members/leadership. I hope your co-workers get the name of the person who made the allegation. I'd hate to think it was someone who worked the trip with you. If so, all other f/a's should watch out for this @#$%^.

you're in a better place
As a former F/A with a major and now flying for a living this really makes my blood boil. It sounds like you might want to pursue this with OSHA, DOT, Department of Health, Department of Labor. Shame on J/B for taking the industry back thirty years. Best of luck Carolyn and you should find nursing more rewarding especially for a single mom like yourself.

Carolyn,
Have you been able to determine exactly WHO made the claim? I don't know JB's exact procedure, but if a crewmember makes a complaint that another crew member was doing something wrong, I'm sure it would have to brought up in writing and the complaining crew member would have to physically sign their name to a statement. If this was a fabrication on the part of JetBlue, then JetBlue is guilty of fraud.
If you get a lawyer you can subpeona JetBlue's company records, and see exactly who made the allegation. You could even go as far as doing an analysis of the signature of the complaining crewmember, to see if it really is their signature, or if the managment forged it.
Also, if you bring this to the attention of the FAA and can prove your case to them, I believe they can fine JetBlue for a few $$$.

Carolyn,
I wish you only the best and PLEASE get some legal advice. If nothing else, your wrongful termination is due some $$$. Getting said judgment or settlement will help you explain the termination in future interviews.
You will then be able to say, "I was terminated but recieved an offer to come back or compensation becuase it was wrongful. I chose not to go back"
Additionally...I haven't seen many JetBlue types talking about how much Neeleman loves his people anymore. Former Morris Air pilots have a lot to say about Neeleman and it always revolves around his dislike of labor or pilots.
