JetBlue Reportedly Dealing With Internal Unrest

A revolt?
Employees at JetBlue Airways are said to be in a revolt over the airline’s financial decisions and the fact that it seems to be bogged down in several court proceedings, according to A View From the Wing.
JetBlue was told earlier this year by a judge to disband its alliance with American Airlines, had rough third-quarter earnings, and is currently embroiled in a trial in which it was sued by the United States Justice Department over its potential merger with Spirit Airlines.
JetBlue appears to be struggling as it tries to marry its finances with its generally good product reviews.
The acquisition of Spirit was thought to help, but the Biden administration is cracking down on antitrust cases, and JetBlue appears to be caught in the crosshairs. Some employees have noted that not only did JetBlue pay $3.8 billion for Spirit—some say overpaid—but they are still paying Spirit shareholders whether they win the current antitrust suit or not.
If JetBlue wins the DOJ trial, it still must pay out the associated costs of acquiring a new airline, including retrofitting Spirit planes.
There apparently is a “no confidence” petition circulating regarding the board chairman and airline CEO Robin Hayes.
Still, JetBlue has a lot of attributes and maintains a good reputation in the industry regarding the actual flights themselves.
