Appears B6 is trialing free meal vouchers / EMS seats for 2hr+ delays (Mosaic only)
Received this email for a trip SEA-JFK tomorrow and didn't see it posted elsewhere so thought I would share.
To sum, if your flight is delayed 2 or more hours, you (and others on your itinerary) can receive a meal voucher and a free EMS seat... Doesn't seem like there is a restriction on flights delayed for weather, which is nice. This no-strings-attached trial benefit is unexpected and a nice touch.
Unfortunately I am already booked in Mint so that negates the potential benefit of the complimentary EMS seat. So in my case, ideally we are just on-time and that's that
EDIT: guess this is discussed (albeit slightly off-topic from the original thread) here: Mosaic no more free even more space seats

Hello XXX,
Thanks for your continued business and loyalty to JetBlue.
It's peak travel season, and we wanted to give you a heads-up about a new benefit we're piloting for Mosaic customers and other travelers booked on your itinerary.
In the unlikely event that your JetBlue-operated flight tomorrow encounters a posted delay of two hours or more, you may opt to receive a same-day meal voucher* and an Even More® Space seat.** All you need to do is identify yourself to a JetBlue crewmember at the airport to receive this benefit.
Please note, this trial offer is only available for your flight tomorrow, and can only be fulfilled by a JetBlue crewmember at the airport.We look forward to welcoming you on board.
Yours Blue-ly,
Don Uselmann
Vice President, Loyalty
JetBlue
*Meal vouchers are subject to local airport concession availability.
**Even More® Space offer applies if not already seated in Even More® Space, and space permitting. Previously purchased Even More® Space seats will not be refunded.

I wish they would keep up with Delta and offer meals in Y on transcons.
I have an upcoming trip from BOS-SEA and it steered me to Delta instead of Jet Blue since it gives my family of 4 one less thing to worry about in the airport and helps break up the 6 hour flight.

I don't know what the pricing is like (I just know Mint tends to be cheaper than Delta One transcon), but I could see a world (playing devil's advocate) where JetBlue pricing people say "we'll just price cheaper than Delta and people can spend the $20 on a better meal."

Can confirm this is the case. Had a couple recent flights delayed out of BOS for more than 2 hours, one for weather and one for mechanical. One time the voucher was for $16 and the the other time the voucher was for $10, I think the difference in amount was secondary to time of day - lunch vs dinnertime. Neither gate agents seemed to know anything about this pilot program, although once showing them the email they were happy to provide.
