JetBlue Crewmember to Crewmember Support
From the 2015 JetBlue Responsibility Report
JetBlue crewmembers support each other as well as our customers, including through financial assistance for colleagues in need.
Since 2002, the JetBlue Crewmember Crisis Fund (JCCF) has provided crewmembers and their families with short-term assistance during times of personal crisis such as injuries, extended illnesses or losses due to natural disasters. JCCF grants help cover food, rent and other essential expenses. In 2015, 58 percent of crewmembers contributed monthly to JCCF with additional funds donated by the JetBlue Board of Directors, business partners and fundraisers. In 2015, JCCF provided more than $330,000 to more than 120 crewmembers and their families. In total, more than 1,700 crewmembers have received around $4.9 million in grants.
INVESTING IN CREWMEMBERS
Personal and professional development helps crewmembers remain inspired and productive every day at work and promotes company loyalty. JetBlue University (JBU) in Orlando provides a one-stop shop to help crewmembers perform on the job
and reach their potential through orientation, training and ongoing development. Crewmembers completed an average of 13 classes and 51 hours of instruction at JBU in 2015, taking courses ranging from customer service training to inflight simulation and safety.
