Your appreciation did not go unnoticed...and don't pay attention to those that did not make the effort to attend...and enhance their chance to become part of 'good thing'...

Cleaning out the seat pockets (needles, diapers, etc.)HSC,
Just curious, what did you find that was too scary about JB?

Maybe I missed the checklist. Don't see any "share info with the others that could not make it" kind of gouge.
I was extremely busy yesterday so I couldn't pass along much...........
One thing that I was not aware of was the fact that if you don't up date your resume every month the human resource people just don't think you are that interested in working there.....
Airbus deliveries will continue on schedule....
Aprox first year pay on the bus is: 50k
Aprox first year pay on the 190 is: 40k
time and a half over 70 hrs , avg line 80 some hours
A choice of picking your equipment type at least for a little while longer...
The blue terra chips would taste better with some melted cheese and salsa on them.
Most of this info is already out there if you do a search for it on this board.
Interviews will be given Feb 1st & 2nd aprox 350 new hires in 2007 (I need to check my notes on that(?)
Babies crying, and 4 year old is too quiet, so I need to run and see whats up but I'll look through my notes and see if there was anything else I learned and post latter.
I think the big thing was just getting some face time and letting Jetblue attach a face with the paper work. I you get a chance to attend one of these things it's time well spent.
Take care,
Z

With possibly up to 5 additional A320s sold at the beginning of the 4th quarter of 2007.
Add to the 350 number an additional 150-250 due to attrition, IMO. I moved up 8 numbers again in December and that doesn't include those JR to me. I think it was close to 15 that ‘voluntarily separated’ during December.

Smelly Cat I think your name says it all......
Happy Holidays to you just the same,
Capt. Z
PS: I was expecting a few flames, if I could'nt take it, I would'nt have posted a public thank you to the Jetblue University Team.... some of you guys just havent heard of "follow up" thank you letters have you?
PS#2: Just for the record because I know there will be a post concerning the subject soon to follow...............
I already do help my FA's straighten up the cabin on the really quick turns, one because I'm a nice guy and two because I married a "sky goddess" and she makes me do it . The training instructor that gave us a tour of the sims said I can skip that lesson when I'm accepted and go home early from class one week.............
So you are saying there will be at least a 10-15% attrition of pilots leaving JB. Sounds kind of high. Believe me, there is a far greater number of JB pilots turning down/deferring recall from their former legacy carriers (me included). Furthermore, how many JB pilots are retiring compared to legacies? If anyone is leaving, it's the E190 FO on lousy pay. Hopefully the pay issue will be addressed soon and those guys that left may be kicking themselves. So, you're probably not going to be moving up seniority that quick due to "attrition."
True, there are people deferring... However I have had 5 of last 6 furloughees I have flown with all say they are going back on the second go-around... (the sixth was former AA/TWA). These were not junior guys or 190 pilots. These were all 320 line-holding captains... Maybe my sampling is not a true representation of the pilot group, but it is what it is....
Just to be clear: all of these guys would rather stay should the company "do the right thing". There are a lot of positives to our company, but the constant lip service from the company when it comes to updating our compensation package, is wearing our patience thin. Most folks are all out of the "blue juice" and it now comes down to a pure business/QOL decision. Time will tell...
So you are saying there will be at least a 10-15% attrition of pilots leaving JB. Sounds kind of high. Believe me, there is a far greater number of JB pilots turning down/deferring recall from their former legacy carriers (me included).
Notice that after 2029 pilot were offered recall only 22 resigned. I doubt they work for jetBlue now, except Ms. B.S.Including the 4 December 2006, 8 January, 22 January and 5 February 2007 recall classes:
Total Offered Recall 2029
Total Furlough Status 139 (have not been offered recall)
Total Responses to date 1945
Recalled - Active or Accepted 654 33.6%
Recalled - LOA or LOA upon return 466 23.9%
Bypassed or Verbal Bypass 803 41.2%
Resigned 22 1.1%
So, you don't believe people are leaving? WOW.If anyone is leaving,
A320's FO and E190 CA have left in the past year.it's the E190 FO on lousy pay. Hopefully the pay issue will be addressed soon and those guys that left may be kicking themselves.
It's not about my senority. JetBlue is a great place to work. 2007 will tell us if many think jetblue is or isn't great place to spend a career.So, you're probably not going to be moving up seniority that quick due to "attrition."
