Aloha,
JetBlue F/A's entry level pay is, when you add in the benis', near the top, if not the top. $20 up to 70 hours, $30 after that. If you made $30,000 at JB last year you would have recieved a nice profit sharing check of $4050 at year end. This year will be bigger! If you put 3% into a 401K JB match would have equaled $900. Yes, there are scheculed pay increases too. So pay isnt that big of an issue. Plus you add the fact that you are part of the new revolution in airtravel. Were there is a good chance you could be working next to your CEO on you next flight. Everyone I know who works at JB is extremely happy about their future. How happy are you?
Here a list of benis from their web site:
The rewards of joining the JetBlue crew include access to a superior package of benefits. In most cases, coverage starts on the first day of the month following your date of hire.
Here are highlights of the program. Should you become a member of our crew, you will receive complete information on benefit options and pricing at that time.
Security for Today:
Medical Insurance
If you are a full-time crewmember, medical coverage is offered to you and your eligible dependents through a preferred provider organization (PPO).
You may use any doctor or facility you wish - there is no gatekeeper and no referral required to see a specialist. However, the plan will pay more if you use an in-network provider.
Part-time employees are offered a catastrophic medical plan.
Dental Insurance
JetBlue offers a dental plan to all full-time crewmembers.
Under the dental plan, you may see the dentist of your choice; however, the plan will pay more if you use an in-network provider.
The plan includes orthodontic services for children.
Vision Insurance
JetBlue offers a voluntary vision plan to all full-time crewmembers.
The plan provides for an exam, lenses and frames every 24 months after a copay.
Contact lenses are also covered.
You may see the vision provider of your choice; however, the plan will pay more if you use an in-network provider.
Life Insurance
JetBlue pays for basic life and AD&D insurance for all crewmembers working over 20 hours per week.
The amount of coverage depends on your job classification.
You can purchase additional supplemental coverage up to six times your annual salary up to a plan maximum.
Coverage is also available for your spouse and dependent children.
Short-Term Disability Insurance
If you live in New York, California or Puerto Rico, you are eligible for coverage under the government-regulated disability plan for your area.
If you live in another location, you can purchase short-term disability coverage that pays a benefit equal to 60% of your weekly base pay up to a plan maximum.
Coverage is available for all crewmembers working over 20 hours per week and begins on your date of hire.
Long-Term Disability Insurance
Coverage is provided for all full-time crewmembers and begins on your date of hire.
The plan pays 60% of your monthly base pay up to a plan maximum.
Employee Assistance Program
The Employee Assistance Program provides up to three visits with a trained counselor if you or your family members need help with emotional, financial, marital, legal, drug and alcohol and other problems that impact your life or work.
The program is completely confidential.
Security for Tomorrow:
401(k) Investment Plan
The plan lets you save any percentage of your pay in pre-tax dollars.
JetBlue will match the first 3% that you save dollar for dollar.
You choose how to invest your account among 16 funds.
Matching contributions to your account vest over five years.
The plan differs slightly in Puerto Rico.
Profit-Sharing
JetBlue crewmembers share in our success if we make a profit for the year.
Any profit sharing contributions are made once a year and are fully vested as soon as they go into your account.
The profit sharing contribution for 2001 was a big 13.5% of pay.
Stock Purchase Plan
Really be a part of the crew by buying JetBlue stock through the Crewmember Stock Purchase Plan.
The plan allows crewmembers to buy shares of company stock through payroll deduction every six months at 15% off the fair market value.
Enjoying Time Away from Work
Paid Time Off
The Paid Time Off (PTO) plan combines vacation, sick leave and holiday pay into a single bank of time for maximum flexibility.
You begin earning time on your date of hire and can use your PTO after three months on the job.
Flight Benefits
You and your immediate family members are eligible for unlimited stand-by on JetBlue flights and passes on partner airlines.
Your designated buddy or significant other may also be eligible.
