I have been working at JetBlue full-time for more than a year
Pros – If you enjoy traveling and career advancement this can be a good place to work in, the company is growing and getting better each fical year.
Cons – If you are a full time employee, flexibility can be a little harder since attendance is strictly enfforced. Unless you have no children, no school and just a free individual deducating your free time to working then full time is suitable but other than that part time is the best way to go around.
Advice to Senior Management – Management should make medical benefits equal and lower to all employees. There is no legit reason as to why part time employees have different medical coverage than full timers. Another thing, management should not have increased the 2013 health benefits to the highest the industry has ever seen. Your company calls for "Fun, Safety, Passion and Caring" please try to act what you preach. The company is great no doubt, just a little corners to make straight; thats all. Just remember airlines come and go we seen a few great ones already and they are now trailing; 10+ years in the airline industry is little of time and a lot can change in a long run, but keep shooting for the stars.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at JetBlue full-time for more than 5 years

At the suggestion of the National Security Agency and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, BENS has been undertaking an effort to heighten the awareness of CEO's and board members on the severity of the cyber threat to U.S. critical infrastructure and intellectual property. As BENS has pursued this mission, members realized that after CEOs and board members learn about the cyber threat, they do not have an easily accessible resource to learn how to assess their own company's cyber vulnerability or implement an effective program to address the cyber threat. BENS now proposes to create a business case for the formation of an entity to promote CEO and Board cybersecurity awareness, best practices, and tools—including a cybersecurity maturity model. The goal of the Initiative is inclusion of cybersecurity in enterprise risk management at the Board and CEO level, thus strengthening cybersecurity in the private sector to protect the nation's economic future and to better support our national defense establishment.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Avant released three more albums through MJM, all of which were distributed by Universal and featured one major single. Ecstasy (2002) was propelled by "Makin' Good Love," the singer's third Top Ten R&B single. The sprawling Private Room (2003), weighed down by some substandard material, nonetheless produced yet another Top Ten R&B hit in "Read My Mind." Director (2006) repeated the feat with the equally successful "4 Minutes." Avant subsequently signed to Capitol -- a move that did not impede his momentum. A self-titled album (2008) peaked in the Top Ten of the R&B Albums chart, just like Avant's first four albums, yet he moved once more to Verve Forecast, where he issued The Letter (2010). On Face the Music (2013), an EMI-distributed release, he reunited with Wyatt, with whom he scored another duet hit ("You & I"). ~ Ed Hogan & Andy Kellman, Rovi
