, meanwhile, says flight attendants can earn at least 150% pay for peak holiday trips and up to triple pay if they also meet attendance goals through early next year. It also offered $1,000 bonuses to other staff as well as at its regional airline subsidiaries. The pilots union, however,over the holidays and said it was seeking permanent improvement to how the airline sets its schedule.
JetBlue's flight attendants can qualify for the $1,000 bonuses if they don't call out from work from Nov. 22 through Jan. 5 and work at least 100 credit hours over that period if they are full time. "After a long period away from family and friends, our Customers have been telling us they're ready to travel and they are counting on us to deliver, Crewmembers and leadership alike," Ed Baklor, head of customer care and programs wrote in a note to flight attendants this week.
In-flight crews will also get confirmed space on planes to commute, Baklor said. They are also encouraged to call out if they are sick but will need to show a doctor's note for absences between Nov. 22 through Jan. 5.
