Our crewmembers are a major part of who we are and on this Veteran's Day we're reminded of our ongoing commitment to helping Veteran's.

Following Monday's 'Honoring Our Heroes' flight to the World War II Museum in New Orleans, two of our leaders were invited to ring the opening bell at the NASDAQ this morning.

Mike Elliot, executive vice president, people and Jeff Martin, executive vice president, operations were side-by-side with other companies recognized by NASDAQ for their commitment to Veteran hiring.

When Vets return to civilian life, they are faced with the challenge of finding work and Brandon De La Cruz, a current JetBlue crewmember, is one of many who have built a meaningful post-service career with JetBlue.

For Brandon, VetConnect, which matches Veteran crewmember's up with a mentor to help foster the skills and knowledge for success at Jetblue, was an essential tool in his transition to civilian life and his new JetBlue career.

Twice a year, JetBlue also hosts a Military & Veteran Career Expo offering service men and women tips and tricks on everything from resume writing to interviewing.

With almost 1,300 Military and Veteran crewmembers, our commitment to men and women of active and retired service runs deep and extends beyond just our crewmembers. To learn more about our Military and Veteran initiatives or to apply, visit our Veteran careers portal.
