In response to "my company is owned by an investor group - I am not thrilled about either option. Does Jet Blue let you fly stand by for free? I'm curious -- nm" by Epiphany

They do have free standby. Though it may be limited to the immediately prior flight.

i.e. if there is a 10am, a 1pm, and a 4pm and you are booked on the 4pm, you may only be able to standby for the 1pm. (which is kinda weird, but that's what I think I'm reading)

Standby Options:

You may list for standby one flight prior to your confirmed scheduled departure.
Customers in cities with multiple flights can travel standby ONLY on the same day.
If traveling out of a city with only one daily flight, the Airport can list you standby on the last flight one day prior.
Note that the flight prior to your confirmed flight may be a nonstop or a connecting flight.
If the flight option does not meet your needs (i.e. You are confirmed on a nonstop and the flight prior is a connecting flight, which you rather not travel on or the traveler is an Unaccompanied Minor that cannot fly on a connecting flight), JetBlue does offer a Same Day Change - fees may apply. This option would confirm you on the flight of choice and can be requested at the Airport or by calling 1-800-JETBLUE (538-2583). There would need to be availability on the flight selected but there would be no increase in fare.
Please note that to LIST standby only one person per PNR is needed at the airport. However, to CHECK IN each individual must be present.
