Home-based CSRs?

Does JetBlue utilize home-based customer service agents?

I called 1-800-Jetblue and after selecting Reservations, I was transferred to a recording that you normally hear on a private line.. something like this:

"Sorry. 801-xxx-xxxx is on another call. Please record a message." *beep*

Scary!

They do use home-based customer service reps, as you suspected, but I was under the impression that they use a dedicated line. That is indeed pretty strange.

I did call the other day, however, and the rep I reached was having problems with her internet connection, so I had to hang up and call back so I'd reach another house with a working connection. Fortunately, there was no queue at the time.

I've never heard a recording like that. Very , especially considering they are monitered by supervisors.

They've been doing it pretty much since the beginning. CO also does, but to a much lesser extent. I don't know if any other US-based carriers also have it set up; I'd guess no, mostly since those carriers seem to have sent their call centers overseas instead.
