February 20,2024 flight, Boston to Richmond. D.E.I. Hire "getting her nails did" instead of doing her job. JetBlue has really really gone downhill. From their changed ridiculous carry-on bag fees, down to the lower quality of staff they hire nowadays, they're just on a serious spiral downward. The JetBlue employee at our departure gate literally shut the jetway door in the face of my seven year old daughter and me exactly 15 minutes before the departure time, and she had the gall to tell me she couldn't let us on our flight because "we close boarding 15 minutes before departure, nothing I can do to help you". Meanwhile, the plane was right in front of me and my child, and they hadn't closed the door to the plane and the jetway was still attached. It was pretty clear the gate lady simply wanted to leave the area and be done. They had made check a single carry-on bag because JetBlue is doing this absurd marketing plot with carry-on fees, so my checked bag was on the original flight already.After 45 more minutes of waiting in a customer service line, they said the best they could do was make me wait six hours at the airport with my child for the midnight flight. So, at the end of another six hours of sitting at an airport, for no other reason than the original gate employee "wanted to get her nails did", I had to track down my bag that had arrived the destination 6 hours earlier, which was another ordeal full of bad employees. Terrible.
