If someone with a basic ticket has a window seat, then that person has to inconvenience the aisle and middle seat people to get up for the window seat person to get into their seat. That’ll probably slow down loading. Probably wouldn’t be as bad if JetBlue kept middle seats open like Delta, one less person to wait for.

My last couple of trips with B6 had almost every seat filled. If they would go back to no middle seats Id expect the fare to go up. My last flight(last week) when we landed the Idiot head FA made an announcement that we will be deboarding 5 rows at a time due to social distancing. When I got to the front I told her if she was serious abuot SD then it should be no middle seats filled and every other row should be empty, otherwise all she did was waste everyones time and accomplished Nothing

didnt expect to change any policy, since my previous flights didnt do it, so I doubt its a B6 policy, more likely the Idiot FAs

So if I'm Mosaic, I get a carryon for Basic, and 2 free checked bags, and free same day change fee can I start just booking blue basic now? I avoided doing this in the past for seat selection purposes but looks like there is no reason not to book blue basic as a mosaic now? maybe I would requalify for mosaic slower? but one qualified no reason not to.

Yes, Mosaics continue to get Carry-Ons, early boarding, and free checked bags with Blue Basic. The main downside of a Blue Basic fare for Mosaics are the much slower Mosaic qualification (1 base point rather than 3 base points). The other potential downside is I'm not sure that you'll qualify for Even More Space seats at the counter; I bet we'll probably need to wait for data points on that.

Do JetBlue Plus credit card holders who buy BB fare get free carry-on? I think the free checked bag is still valid. Thanks.
Edit: just spoke to JetBlue. The agent (after speaking to a supervisor) said that credit card holder won't be getting a free carry-on. The bags have to be checked in.

Wow, the entitlement and privilege of your statement. I just had 4 B6 flights in the past 2 months (BOS and PUJ). The FAs made the same announcement on all 4 flights. It's humorous how you think that the FA was out to get you, lol...Really bullying the poor FA, eh?
