After the transition is complete (expected to be by the end of the week of August 27), you may redirect these monies into your brokerage account at Charles Schwab or into the Plan s core menu of investment options outside the self-directed brokerage account. Please Be Advised Securities No Longer Available In order to prevent the Plan from potentially being subject to unrelated business taxable income (UBTI), investments in securities that generate UBTI will no longer be available for purchase once self-directed brokerage accounts transfer to Charles Schwab. These types of securities include master limited partnerships (MLPs), commodity exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other securities that meet the IRS requirements for partnership taxation. 3

A target date fund allows you to invest your retirement savings into a single fund based on the year you plan to retire or your target date. Each target date fund is pre-diversified with a mix of investments. Generally, each target date fund will become more conservative as it gets closer to the target retirement date (the year when you might start withdrawing your money, assumed to be at age 65). Birth Year Range December 31, 1947 and earlier January 1, 1948 to December 31, 1952 January 1, 1953 to December 31, 1957 January 1, 1958 to December 31, 1962 January 1, 1963 to December 31, 1967 January 1, 1968 to December 31, 1972 January 1, 1973 to December 31, 1977 January 1, 1978 to December 31, 1982 January 1, 1983 to December 31, 1987 January 1, 1988 to December 31, 1992 January 1, 1993 to December 31, 1997 January 1, 1998 and later Fund Name Vanguard Target Retirement Income Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2015 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2020 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2025 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2030 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2035 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2040 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2045 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2050 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2055 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2060 Trust I Vanguard Target Retirement 2065 Trust I 1 Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Admiral, T. Rowe Price Equity Income Trust, Vanguard Extended Market Index Admiral, and Vanguard Developed Markets Index Admiral will map to a different share class of the same fund. Each share class invests in the same investment portfolio of securities and has the same investment objectives and policies; however, each class has different fees and expenses and, therefore, different performance results. The change in share class offers a lower gross expense ratio, which means it costs less to invest in the fund. 2 The Vanguard Institutional Index Fund will transfer in kind. In kind means the investment elections you have on file for both your current balance and any future contributions will be carried over to your BlueRetirement account at Empower. 3 The Z share class of the T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Value Equity Trust and the Z share class of the T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Value Equity Trust will be blended into the new T. Rowe Price Small/Mid Cap Value Trust. The Z share class of the T. Rowe Price New Horizons Trust A and the Z share class of the T. Rowe Price US Mid-Cap Growth Equity Trust D will be blended into the new T. Rowe Price Small/Mid Cap Growth Trust. Because these are new trusts established exclusively for BlueRetirement, no historical fund performance will exist when they launch. 4 If you are invested currently in the T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Trust A, your balance and future contribution will be transferred to a Vanguard Target Retirement Trust based on your date of birth. See chart above. To identify the fund where your investment will be transferred, look for the appropriate date range on the left, based on your birthdate, and then see the fund name on the right. 5 New Fund Addition Target Retirement 2065 I is a new addition to the plan; this fund is not replacing any funds currently in the plan investment lineup. For more information, please refer to the Qualified Default Investment Alternative notice mailed to your address of record later in July. 5

Important Notice Concerning Your Rights in the JetBlue Airways 401(k) Retirement Plan July 2017 This notice is to inform you that your account in the JetBlue Airways 401(k) Retirement Plan (JetBlue Retirement Plan) will transfer to Empower Retirement effective August 21, 2017. As a result of this change, you will be temporarily unable to check your account balance; transfer or diversify your investments (including investments held within a self-directed brokerage account) in your JetBlue Retirement Plan account; or obtain a loan, withdrawal, or distribution. This period during which you will be unable to exercise these rights otherwise available under the plan is called a blackout period. Whether or not you are planning retirement in the near future, we encourage you to carefully consider how this blackout period may affect your retirement planning as well as your overall financial plan. The temporary blackout period for brokerage accounts will begin at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on August 8, 2017, and the temporary blackout period for retirement plans will begin at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on August 15, 2017. Both blackout periods will end by the end of the week of August 27, 2017. During this time, you will have limited or no access to your retirement account as described above. For the self-directed brokerage account, any final brokerage trades must be submitted no later than 4 p.m. Eastern Time on August 8, 2017, in order for the trade to be complete prior to the blackout period and the transfer of assets. During the blackout period you will be unable to direct or diversify the assets held in your Plan account. Before the blackout period begins, it is very important that you review and consider the appropriateness of your current investments. For your long-term retirement security, you should give careful consideration to the importance of a well-balanced and diversified investment portfolio, taking into account all your assets, income, and investments.
