A simple idea from a JetBlue flight attendant has turned a bathroom queue into an unexpected reminder of gratitude and connection.
Not everyone was impressed. As the story spread online, some commenters reacted with cynicism, including remarks such as “Don’t trust JetBlue” and “Just serve me drinks.” That mix of reactions is typical for social media, where even small acts of kindness at 35,000 feet are filtered through broader feelings about an airline brand.
This is not the first time a handwritten note project onboard has drawn attention. Nearly a decade ago, an American Airlines flight attendant launched a “Words from a Window Seat” project, leaving short affirmations taped to passenger windows that later went viral on Instagram. Both gestures share the same basic ingredients: paper, pen, tape and a willingness by crew to go beyond standard service to acknowledge the people in their care.
