JetBlue Call

[Floatplane]

Things are about to get very ugly at B6. Pilots are being sold down the river by other pilots. Stay tooned! It is more of the some old tricks by management and F.&H.

 

[zkmayo]

Yeah, only if the A320 rates come down to meet the E190 rates.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Cheers!

What do you care youve prob already gone back to United where things are so much brighter.

What I had heard was at the very least to bring 190 pay for FOs to 320 FO rates year to year. It would save alot of training events.

Give one example, just one where this has/will/going to happen. They really are out to get you. everyone is. Cant you see them. Fear monger...

How about a certain PVC member. Thats proof.

 

[indynomore]

would you guys mind to be a little more specific...I have no clue of what you guys are talking about. Who is betraying who at Jetblue and why? Thanks...

 

[zkmayo]

Current or past? Honestly, I dont know. I know you cant name names, but how about initials.

But in the end, according to the PVC's harshest critics in our ranks and on other boards, they are powerless, so one member's opinion shouldnt even matter, right?

 

[zkmayo]

Never mind, went over to that "other blue board" and found the answers to my question. Hadnt been on bpilots in awhile and from all the drama over there, it shows. sounds like the pvc is in a real tailspin.

 

[viper01]

How about sharing with those newhires that can't get onto bpilots yet.

Probably not a good idea.

You're not missing much. BP is the same 12 guys going off half cocked with few facts on one subject or another.

Like flight info?

Amen.

Is B6 still loosing FO's to recalls at the majors? If so, does anyone have any numbers? I was approx. number 150 when I left in March to return to NWA. Honestly, I miss the culture and scheduling flexibility but for my career (I am 40 and have 10 years seniority at NWA), returning had more going for it than staying at JB.

I think departing pilots are mainly going back to the majors (furloughees). Although I hear that a few have left for Virgin America and Netjets. JB's growth ain't what it used to be...

 

[BigShotXJTdrvr]

What's it taking to get called at JetBlue these days?

Flight time?
Education?
Anything else....

Thanks.

I hear if you have shot at least one adult movie scene with backdoor action you get a quick call.

Pitching: Management interview
Catching: Line Pilot interview

 

[Fins Up]

You're thinking about the flight attendant positions.

Are you sure about that number? 150 by March, I doubt it! We are closer to about 160 for the year. Yea, I know it still sucks, we should not be loosing that many per year, but until the company decides to invest in the employee's then we will continue to see this kind of attrition. Too bad! It seems like they have adopted the regional airline mindset that if you do not like it then here is the door. Good luck!

So quick to assume. Think what you want, but it doesn't change the fact that at least 3 of the 4 seats at JB are underpaid.
