Crewmember Retirement Plan Crewmember Retirement Plan
We sponsor a retirement savings 401(k) defined contribution plan, covering our U.S. and Puerto Rico crewmembers, where we match 100% of our eligible crewmember's contributions up to 5% of their eligible wages. Employer contributions vest after three years of service and are measured from a crewmember's hire date. Crewmembers are vested immediately in their voluntary contributions.
Certain Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") licensed crewmembers receive a discretionary contribution of 8% of eligible compensation, which we refer to as Retirement Non-elective Licensed Crewmember contributions. System controllers also receive a Company discretionary contribution of 5% of eligible compensation, referred to as Retirement Non-elective Crewmember contributions. The Company's non-elective contributions vest after three years of service.
Our Pilots receive a non-elective Company contribution of 17% of eligible compensation per the terms of the finalized collective bargaining agreement between JetBlue and the Air Line Pilots Association ("ALPA"), in lieu of the above 401(k) Company matching contribution and Retirement Non-elective Licensed Crewmember contributions. The Company's non-elective contribution of eligible Pilot compensation vests after three years of service.
Total 401(k) company match and non-elective crewmember contribution expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $74 million and $61 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $149 million and $127 million, respectively.
