Reports: JetBlue Experiences Staff Shortages, Scales Back Summer Schedule
JetBlue intends to scale back its summer schedule as they are “staffing constrained,” according to reports. The reports follow consecutive weekends of flight cancellations and delays.
Citing staffing issues, the airline said it would be adjusting the rest of its April schedule, and more cuts are slated for next month and through the summer, NBC reported.
“Despite hiring more than 3,000 new crew-members already this year, like many businesses, we remain staffing constrained,” JetBlue said in a statement Tuesday, per the outlet.
On Sunday, CNBC reported it had obtained an email from JetBlue Chief Operating Officer and President Jennifer Geraghty to employees, indicating looming capacity reductions next month and through the summer.
“We’ve already reduced May capacity 8-10% and you can expect to see a similar size capacity pull for the remainder of the summer,” Geraghty’s email reportedly said.- READ MORE
