"We aspire to give our crewmembers the same JetBlue experience that they work so hard to deliver to our customers," said Mike Elliott, JetBlue's executive vice president of people. "When customers tell me they love JetBlue, I know that's a result of our crewmembers showing our customers every day how much they love what they do.

PIEDMONT WILL HELP EMPLOYEES BECOME PILOTS
The company has announced that any Piedmont employee within 300 hours of the minimum FAA requirements for airline pilots can interview for a spot in the Piedmont Flyers program.

"We have great employees, and we want them to stay and fly with us after they build up enough hours," said Michelle Foose, vice president of human resources. "If we can help them get those hours more quickly by paying for it, it's really a win for everyone involved."
