I love the 'I'm above everybody else' pilot mentality some people have. If you have the time, pax are off, why not give a hand to fellow coworkers? I won't swim upstream, neglect my job, or not run up to get a good cup of coffee, but if I'm just standing around while everyone else is busting their butts to turn the plane? Sure I'll give a hand. It's just called being a decent person and doing the next right thing.

If collectively we clean the cabins enough, next thing you know it WILL be part of our job description.

Great feedback, thanks for everyone's response. The people we pay to represent our professionalism condem this act and I trust their opinion in the matter. I too agree it gives Jetblue a bad image having pilots with blue gloves charging down the isle to get to that next row as people deplane. I'll continue to represent our culture by buying coffee or anything else anyone wants as was turn.
Cheers

Few quick questions:
What is the employee travel like? Expensive? I assume agreements with most major carriers? Buddy passes? Also is someone willing to share their schedule on both fleets in BOS and JFK? If you don't feel comfortable, please PM me, I'm trying to get an idea what the schedules look like.
Thanks everyone for the help.

Travel on JetBlue is free in coach, you have to pay taxes for international. 75/leg for Mint, Buddy pass riders are not eligible to fly in Mint. Zed fare agreements with just about everyone.
We get four one-way buddy pass segments every quarter (2 round-trip equivalent), they expire after a year. I use mine occasionally for elderly friends with flexibility to travel New England to Florida, it seems to cost them about 60 dollars per person per leg for that distance. (The charges are distance-based). So useful with a bit of flexibility or last-minute, but you can do almost as well with cheap confirmed tickets if you plan ahead...
Don't have the time to type out schedule stuff right now. Hope this little bit helps, welcome to JetBlue.

If you are on the E190 you will average 3 legs a day (until you get senior). Some days you might get 2 legs, some 4 leg days.....average 3. Don't let AB guys scare you into thinking the 190 is 4 legs every day.
190 does not go west of Austin. AB goes everywhere - except FLL do the Deep South America stuff.

Thanks so much, one last question, does jetblue offer domestic partners benefits? Say long time girlfriends who live with you?

Yep. You do need to provide proof of the situation (a few joint bills, bank accounts etc) and sign a few extra forms.. Most international airlines honor this arrangement with Zed fares as well
