Former 'American Idol' star Jimmy Levy's bag caught fire while his JetBlue flight sat at the gate. Levy said he was told a portable battery inside his bag had caused the fire. In an interview with NBC News, Levy said he was told by investigators his portable charger was to blame for the explosion. "It's a portable charger from a fancy mall, so it wasn't some random thing," he said. JetBlue didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment but told NBC News in a statement that its crew "immediately responded and addressed the situation, and there were no requests for medical assistance."

☆ JetBlue raises flight attendant pay, union agrees to support merger with Spirit
  + stars: | 2023-09-29 | by ( Leslie Josephs | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
JetBlue Airways said it will raise flight attendant pay next year and provide other bonuses to staff while the union representing cabin crews agreed to support the carrier's plan to acquire budget carrier Spirit Airlines . Starting in November, flight attendants will get 5% raises. Including another 2% raise, a slate of other incentives and previously negotiated raises under flight attendants' union contract, their raises in 2026 will compound to 21.5% increases, according to a company memo, which was seen by CNBC Friday. The raises come as the New York-based carrier is in the process of trying to acquire Spirit, a merger the Justice Department has sued to block. JetBlue agreed not to furlough or displace any flight attendants or close any associated bases for seven years after a potential acquisition of Spirit goes through, the memo said.

☆ JetBlue ground operations workers seek union vote, major labor group says
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( Leslie Josephs | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
A major airline union said Friday that it has enough support among JetBlue Airways' roughly 3,000 fleet service staff to seek a unionization vote, in the latest move to organize workers. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said it will file an application for a union vote with the National Mediation Board. A vote could create the third major work group at the New York-based airline to unionize. "The IAM has sufficient interest among JetBlue Fleet Service workers to conduct a union representation election," the union said in a statement. Most major airline workers are already largely represented by unions, though some carriers like JetBlue are less so than some competitors.
