Short-Staffed JetBlue Will Pay Flight Attendants $5,000 To Fly 150+ Hours This Month

JetBlue is offering its flight attendants a $5,000 bonus to fly at least 150 hours in August as it struggles with mounting operational shortcomings. The carrier has reportedly suffered a recent rise in staff calling in sick, prompting it to call back flight attendants working temporary ground assignments and return them to line flying.
