I applaud his actions, for an airline who only had a 7 million, 2nd qtr loss. His actions could very well prevent a United/ Tilton working environment in the future. This is the type of action you expect from a real leader.
Hes probably trying to stop some of the bleeding early, and quite possibly expects the airline to be in a better financial situation 6 months from now.

It starts at the top, and then it starts to roll down hill. It is barely more than a couple of drops in the bucket. I am worried that there is more to come and that the outlook is not rosy.

Quoting Mir (Reply 3): Nothing to say it won't continue after those six months if conditions remain as they are.
I agree however I dont think 6 months is long enough. I just think it would have looked better had people thought it was permanent.

Yes, he should just work for free, indefinitely. (said in jest, of course)
Taking the pay cut is an important symbolic gesture and is a good move to reinforce morale among his employees. Whether it is six months, a year, or forever, it shows that he will help shoulder the burden.
Us sitting here and speculating on how much of a pay cut he should take or for how long, is irrelevant.

I understand why hes doing it. In fact I admire the move. My point is that it seems rather short sided to do it for only 6 months. If B6 employees are asked to take a paycut (or any other airline for that matter) are they getting the full rate back in 6 months? I seriously doubt it. Why cant he take a permanent cut?
Also I think this is a sign of things to come. This isnt a slam on Jetblue just an observation.
