Summary
JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes will step down next month and will be replaced by the airline's chief operating officer, Joanna Geraghty. This change comes as JetBlue is trying to acquire budget carrier Spirit Airlines. The departure of Hayes is due to the high-pressure nature of the job and his desire to focus on his health. Geraghty will be tasked with overseeing the merger process if the U.S. Department of Justice is unsuccessful in blocking it.
