New Jetblue pay raise!

[Bavarian Chef]

If/when we go ALPA.... EVERYTHING is on the table... we won't necessarily be guaranteed what we have. And count on a more typical 18-36 month negotiation process if things turn nasty/confrontational.

Stay happy!

Yes, on the table. But current contracts are frozen. Which is what I said.

I personally think ALPA will not succeed this year. Surprise? Or did you peg me as a ALPA lover too?

Military jocks with no instrument time? Where? Deicing is tough? The Northeast corridor? Is that like "going downtown"? Ohmagod. You really need to spend a week with those forward deployed pilots and see what tough is. You been shot at? Had to shell out of an airplane? Land on a unlit postage stamp, I mean aircraft carrier at 3 am? Spend up to 6 months away from your newborn baby? Better yet, shower with shoes on for 6 months? .

You had me at "hello", then you start playing the hero, gag.

Fighter guys in the sim for the first time are funny to watch.

P.S. How hard can something really be if someone with 500 hours can do it?

I just gave some examples of what those wet behind the ears military pilots are doing right at this very moment. I only expect the best from 8vate.

Which sim? The right one or the left one? Did you have an airplane in mind? I actually thought it was funny too, being better than my 8 year veteran airline pilot sim partner.

How hard is it to be a captain if that 25 year old at Colgan can do it?

Can I get an AMEN, btw?! I think this just became a civ vs mil vs regional vs major vs lowecur (any takers) thread. We might have just hit the trifecta! Or is that a fivefecta?

(this is an easter special -- the sarcastic comments are carefully hidden, can you guess my real opinion?)

Why do you have your panties in a bunch still over military guys and how you are so much better? Sounds like a huge inferiority complex. Chef was not playing the hero, he was just saying like it is over there.

Run for the PVC? You mean you voted for someone you knew or actually could distinguish from all the other nameless, faceless pilots at jb?

Run for the PCG? You mean we voted for those dudes? I guess I was sick that day.

If you really think I agree or have responded in the positive to Frank or the General, then you are proving me correct. You really don't read my posts. I have not supported those two (and many other jb bashers) on flightinfo.

Now Occam's just smart and unlike most, he gets it.

I don't care if you like me. What I care is that you come on here and refuse to acknowledge some of the facts about jb. I think everyone who wants to come here is entitled to that.

I dont think you support them but you are an expert at giving them a daily " jb hater" fix..

PS the reserve grid for bus Fo's tomorrow shows -1 damn !!!

Support them? By doing what? Email them? I never email anyone at this company. That's what Scud is for. Emails always work at jb, btw. Just ask Tara about the benefits guide.

Jb hater? Yep, I am a jb hater. I hate the company that pays my bills and lets me fly for free. Yep. I hate that.

I voted for the Values Committee members, now I can't remember who they are or what they do. I did read a snazzy letter to the BOD though.

BC,

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. The 121 transition was woefully painful for me too (sarcasm). Those night hand-flown Case III's (no Autos for me) didn't prepare me at all for the grueling ILS approaches with the autopilot on that I was in store for (more sarcasm). Flying around the northeast is especially challenging too when your only experience includes LFE's in Fallon or Red Flag or combat listening to no less than 4 freqs (STK, TAC, HQ, MIDS) while on NVG's and (GASP!) having to actually fly the airplane, work the radar, formation keep, and lead a sec/div downrange at 1200 kts closure, and talk on said radios all at the same time (you keepin' up Av8?)!

I'm about to click into year six-pay. I can hardly wait to be clearing what I did 3 years ago again! Well, at least until they drop the next healthcare bomb on us!

Come on now, take it easy on him. He had to wait an extra ten minutes for the hotel van and he couldn't get the wireless internet to work until he called the front desk. Oh, and his "Cowabunga, Dude!" sticker fell off his Purdy bag yesterday.

Please, show some empathy. Or sympathy. Your choice.

Didn't know ALPA wasn't a real union?

Ask a former TWA guy that question. Nice work on that one boys!

Yes it is ALPA's fault AMR bought your bankrupt airline.

Ok...now I'm confused. What's the sort here?

I'll take the "cabin cleaning" quips. Chef's got the subsonic civilian sim experts. AlbieF15 take the high guy on your side (TWS). SonicPig, you stay in full scan and look for spitters.
