Jetblue has really outgrown Terminal 6 at JFK the terminal is very overcrowded and security can be long, but the check-in is good.
It's a great joy to sit in Row 22, watch everyone in front of you spring up to grab for their carry-ons as soon as the fasten seatbelt sign is extinguished upon arrival, and realize that there is an exit right behind you and that the cattle herding time has been cut in half.

 Wired News: JetBlue Shared Passenger Data
JetBlue Airways confirmed on Thursday that in September 2002, it provided 5 million passenger itineraries to a defense contractor for proof-of-concept testing of a Pentagon project unrelated to airline security -- with help from the Transportation Security Administration.
The contractor, Torch Concepts, then augmented that data with Social Security numbers and other sensitive personal information, including income level, to develop what looks to be a study of whether passenger-profiling systems such as CAPPS II are feasible.
The company's presentation concluded that "known airline terrorists appear readily distinguishable from the normal JetBlue passenger patterns," but said differentiation would be enhanced if the system had access to a passenger's annual, as well as lifetime, traveling history.

Along with Northwest and American Airlines, JetBlue Airways handed passenger lists over to the TSA a while back, which rightfully infuriated privacy advocates.
Second, it was recently disclosed that JetBlue Airways wanted to prove that pilots could work longer than the legal 8 hour shifts - so to "prove" it, Jet Blue actually had their pilots work 10 or 11 hours straight, with passengers onboard, hence unknowingly part of this experiment.

 ON THE RECORD: DAVID NEELEMAN / Jetblue Airways
The second is JetBlue Airways, launched in January 2000 by David Neeleman, an ex-Southwest executive whose brash style proved unsettling at folksy, steady Southwest, but just right for starting his own company.
JetBlue embraced the Southwest model of low fares, all economy-class and no on-board meals, but broke the mold by adding stylish perks such as leather seats, DirectTV and assigned seats.
We have a saying at JetBlue that you're either serving a customer or serving someone who is serving a customer.
