(August 18, 2011) - The International Society for Performance Improvement&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;announced the successful accreditation of JetBlue Airways’&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#333333" size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;(Nasdaq: JBLU)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;AME Certification&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Program at a presentation on Aug. 15 in New York City. ISPI, the leading association dedicated&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;to improving productivity and performance in the workplace, conducted the third-party&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;evaluation which was based on the JetBlue certification program’s alignment to a set of industry&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;standards and code of ethics. The Assessment, Measurement, and Evaluation Certification&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Program was designed for JetBlue University faculty to cultivate data-driven decision-making&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;skills and expertise within the company.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;The JetBlue AME Certification Program is a four-month performance-based program that&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;leverages applied learning opportunities. A combination of workshops, webinars, personal&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;knowledge builders, and practice with a mentor and peers helps participants learn and apply best&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;practices in the areas of assessment, measurement and evaluation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;“One of the primary strategic goals of JetBlue University is to develop the capacity for evidencebased&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;learning and decision-making within JBU and throughout JetBlue Airways,” notes Warren&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Christie, vice president of JetBlue University. “We’re extremely proud to receive this&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;accreditation from ISPI as acknowledgement that we’re moving in the right direction, both&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;within JetBlue and in the performance improvement profession.”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;ISPI accredits education, performance improvement and training programs, courses and services&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;offered by for-profit and nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, corporations,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;departments, vendors/consultants, associations, military and government entities. Organizations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;document their adherence to a code of ethics and set of standards and undergo an interview&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;and/or site visit by trained reviewers. It is the goal of ISPI’s accreditation program to bring&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;recognition to those organizations, department programs, courses and services that produce&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3" face="Times New Roman"&gt;worthy, measurable results.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
