In November my connecting flight from JFK to Burlington was cancelled (computer & JetBlue agents said this). This resulted in my being rebooked on the next flight & a 6 hour delay in getting to Burlington. The Jetblue Bill of Rights brochure I was given spelled out that a cancellation due to controllable irregularities would entitle me to a travel voucher equal to the the cost of the round trip.
Now Jetblue is maintaining that it was not a cancellation, but a schedule change & therefore only worth a $50 credit, instead of almost $300. How can it be a schedule change when that same flight flew out the day before, the day after, & still continues to fly from JFK to Burlington with the same departure time?
I fell I am being jerked around & don't know what to do?

No, the "schedule change" was only for one day. That flight was & still is a daily event, with the departure times the same. I was notified verbally of the cancellation of that connecting flight as I was about to board the first leg of my journey that day.

CANCELLATIONS
All customers whose flight is cancelled by JetBlue will, at the customer’s option, receive a full refund or reaccommodation on the next available JetBlue flight at no additional charge or fare. If JetBlue cancels a flight within 4 hours of scheduled departure and the cancellation is due to a Controllable Irregularity, JetBlue will also provide the customer with a $50 Credit good for future travel on JetBlue.
It looks like JetBlue did exactly what they show in the Bill of Rights. They reaccomodated you and also gave you $50 credit just as you said. It seems you interpreted this incorrectly.

I will answer both replies here.
The flight was #74 on 11/18/10.
The Customer Bill of Rights brochure I was given that day by a JetBlue agent stated that if a cancellation is due to a controllable irregularity & occurs within 12 hours of the scheduled departure, then JetBlue will additionally give you a travel voucher for future travel in the amount of the cost of the round trip. It appears that their Bill of Rights no longer is that generous, but I feel in good faith JetBlue should stand by the rules they gave me that day.
