Join JetBlue and our mission to 'Inspire Humanity.' We are seeking caring, passionate, and fun individuals to join our Inflight Crewmember team in Boston (BOS). This 'entry level' role is perfect for someone with a talent for service and 'compassion.' 'No experience' in flying is necessary; we provide extensive paid training. About JetBlue: As a leading carrier in Boston and 'New York's Hometown Airline®', JetBlue is known for its award-winning service, free Fly-Fi, and the most legroom in coach. Our culture is built on five core values: Safety, Caring, Integrity, Passion, and Fun. We are a team of over 23,000 Crewmembers dedicated to taking care of each other and our Customers. Your Role as an Inflight Crewmember: While your first priority is always Safety, your second is delivering the JetBlue experience. This is a 'service and support' role. You will be responsible for 'passenger assistance' with a human touch, from greeting Customers by name to managing challenging situations with 'compassion'. You are empowered to perform 'service recovery' on the spot, ensuring every Customer leaves our aircraft feeling cared for. Your Day-to-Day: Your schedule will be a mix of 'day shift' turns, 'night shift' red-eyes, and multi-day trips. Full availability for 'weekend' and holiday work is essential. You'll work in close 'team collaboration' with your fellow Inflight and Flight Deck crew to ensure a safe, on-time, and enjoyable flight. This 24/7/365 operation requires 100% flexibility and a positive attitude. Training & Onboarding: Successful candidates will attend our 6-week paid training program at JetBlue University (JBU) in Orlando, FL. You will learn all FAA-mandated safety procedures, emergency response, and our unique service standards that set us apart. Career & Compensation: JetBlue offers a competitive wage, with an estimated annual base for new Crewmembers between $45,000 and $70,000 (based on flight hours). We also offer profit sharing, a 401(k) with company match, and outstanding travel privileges. This 'entry level' role is a gateway to a long-term career, with opportunities to become an Inflight Lead or move into corporate support roles.
