JetBlue creates luxury hotel for employees only

[@XpLoiT671]

Just left the lodge a couple of days ago. It was awesome! JetBlue is a great company. They really take care of their employees.

[@MrCarlsson86]

[@johnfannin3233]

JetBlue has some of the most comfortable and cheapest flights I've taken... The tv & WiFi take the cake!

[@NoName-nf5xl]

Slow clap. They are cheap for flights. Have excellent service on the airplane. And they actually care about there employees. Excellent company!!

[@JamButter123]

Infinity Boy true. Last year my family went this flight and they treated them and passenger like they were real customers.

WOW! That's awesome! JetBlue is one US Carrier that knows how to treat it's employees and they must-have copied Emirates,Etihad and Qatar how they take care of their employees and that helps morale and helps improve customer service as well.Some of these US Carriers need to take note.

[@karlblume9419]

Good for them. Build employee loyalty, ease the stress of the career, reduce turnover, reduces training costs.

[@misterguy2929]

I kinda feel most airlines should have their own facilities like these near major hubs. Yeah they could just have them rent hotel rooms but from watching other reports on how crew are treated where they need to chip in together for crashpads, it seems some sort of accommodation like this would go a long way.

[@etops1714]

AA has redone their lodge in DFW for employees . Its fully state of the art. UA is in the process of building there’s in IAH.

[@lesterjones9335]

That is pretty cool more airlines need to do this

[@cactus9201]

Congrats to Jerblue for this much needed initiative! It would have been interesting to explain the poor accommodation situation of airline employees (crash pads and commuting) rather than spending half of the video sniveling because the facility isn't open to the general public.

The design looks quite corporate, it makes you feel you’re at the JetBlue HQ rather than a hotel where you’re supposed to relax.

[@rithwikj]

@CBS you could've delivered this in 2 minutes instead. The build up to the reveal, the elaborate narrative, repeat visuals - it's all seriously old school TV guys. Just why cable ain't popular anymore. Try keeping it more crisp like rest of KZbin.

[@stuwest3653]

They have time that needs to be filled. More time equates more commercial revenue. To make the video 2 minutes would be a financial disfavor to them. Why would you think you have more business savvy than a multi billion dollar network?

[@daveschwartz5893]

It's not a KZbin video it's a news piece from a major news network. The amount of money spent to do this piece alone doesn't justify a 2 min piece. I really don't get what your talking about but that's your opinion. I'm not gotta beat ya to death with mine.

[@willieguapo]

For the record. Delta does have one in Atlanta at the training center but it's nothing to brag about. Crew members prefer the area hotels

[@1992dmk]

It's simple business, not to make their employees happier. JetBlue claims it's "a communal space that would help further steep trainees in the company’s offbeat culture" and that they will actually be "losing $1 million a year" but I don't buy that... A few points to consider: -They say they currently spend $80 per guest per night at other hotels. -Their hotel has 120 rooms. -*The profit conversion for normal U.S. hotels averages 37.7% of total revenue. That accounts for 23% vacancies due to dips in travel/tourists. JB doesn't have dips in tourists. JB has much lower property operation costs since they don't pay for (as many) room service personnel, customer acquisition costs, club management, online booking management, etc. which therefor increases their net profit. For discussion we'll increase it to 45% of total revenue*. If you multiply $80 by 120 (rooms) by 365 (days) you get a whopping $3.5 Million per year revenue NOT spent on hotels = for normal hotels at 37.7% conversion that's $1.32M profit and for JB at 45% conversion that's $1.575M profit. In 10 years that's $13.21M profit for normal hotels or $15.77 million PROFIT for JetBlue.

[@LosAlyfs]

[@danmcclaren5436]

Cost savings disguised as employee appreciation. 6 weeks of hotels for pilot training costs $4200. Multiply that by dozens of pilots plus their regular employees, it actually makes sense to build your own dorm, I mean hotel.

[@immanuelj8952]

dan McClaren it still helps the employees out regardless of if it saves them money plus the airlines get significant discounts on hotel rooms for their crews.

[@rustynuts4426]

[@dropnikappleflower]

@eduardo Vargas. Have at it with other airlines where they have to share a room at an actual hotel, with other random guests, and pay for outside food during their training. Not so convenient when you’re expected to train and study for 6 weeks. Jetblue gives daily allowance and then some for food at the cafeteria located on the premises and your own PRIVATE room. Employees only

[@SuperJdm1991]

So can the employees stay there even when they visit MCO or is it just for the training?

[@Beevee3030]

Its just for training and recertification purposes, an employee cant just use it as their orlando hotel while on vacation.

[@AshleyJeffersonAshleyJefferson]

Maybe this is a luxury dorm...? But this definitely isn’t a hotel that I would like to check in. HOWEVER, it does remind me of the Aventura hotel on the Universal Studios property. They seem to have the same simplistic hotel room design that focuses heavily on tech.

[@williamlobur6181]

meals included ?

[@jkhgjrtyusvf]

Jetblue cancelled me and my family's flight and rebooked us for not next day, after next day and didn't give any incentive for this cancellation, while all other airlines were flying from Newark in August! No hurricane season, nothing at the weather. Gate agent's response was they don't have to tell exact reason, it is act of God! For two days, they didn't help with anything (I think I felt richer than an airline company during these two days) and they use the money they don't treat to their customers by building luxury hotels, I see! From this day forward, I strongly suggest all I know not to fly Jetblue, since in case of cancellation (they cancel a lot) you have to wait for next day or next day... As much as I am not a fan of big 4, I'll stick to fly with them, since time is money

Yeah, ok, great, but can’t believe this was given 4.5 minutes of valuable TV time. Don’t see the big deal. They have probably dozens, maybe hundreds of employees in town every week. Just makes great business sense and the networking is great. And all the build up calling this a boutique hotel? Really? It looks fairly basic, sterile and functional to me. And no room service? Of course not. Guests are employees who are technically working while visiting the HQ. and since they’re not paying for the stay why would there be traditional services?

[@robb38111]

Flandersrobby, I don't disagree with what you said and have a respect for all cabin crew--and have praised then on many occasions. My Issue is with your increasingly super cramped flights for long distances , JB CEO is clearly interested in his investors solely and not his passengers as he cramps 15 (FIFTEEN) more seats into the A320, makes it a more miserable exp and then ,lies to us thru the PR folks who tell us they are offering a "choice "and that we will LUV all the new 'changes'. JB is saving a fortune on lower fuel prices so why are you fares going sky high. MY comment to all you pilots/flight crew who fly free most of the time is when is the last time you actually checked to see what charges your customers are paying for these rides ....they are subjected to very exp seats, ridiculous change fees for a one second computer stroke, baggage fees, food fees, etc. Look at how prices have skyrocketed for thinner cramped seats, and uncomfortable exp just to milk passengers for bucks . We want our pilots safe and rested but evidently the Company doesn't want its customers rested or treated better than cargo

[@ecoRfan]

Twelve more seats which is two more rows. The current layout is 150 passengers at 34 inches per row.

[@anngranger3007]

that's what happens when you fly on deregulated, non union airline. you get what you pay for, or rather, what you don't.

[@jeantaylor2308]

robb38111 Crew and employees don’t fly totally free. Still have to pay taxes, fuel charges, etc. Yes it is considerably cheaper than any full fare ticket but not entirely free. There are also limits on how many times you can fly and it has to be standby. Ever tried to get a standby seat on any large carrier? It is a more and more difficult to get a flight.
