jetblue pay increase

[flaps30]

Jetblue just got pay raises, 5-10% except for the top 10% which got 1%. What has your Union done for you ?

 

[Jungle Prop]

Hey Flaps 30, 5-10% of crap is still crap. If they were hoping to avoid a union they failed mightily! All this did was help the fence sitters come on over. I'm glad you got yours though and the F/O's get crap.

Unless you're a new-hire, in which case your first year just got a ********************-load worse. But hey, since we all get to retire at 65 now instead of 60 at least there's no more need for the company to worry about bridging the gap to Medicare! I'm not impressed.

 

[rydog]

Lets see, free medical, um.... 40% pay bump for FOs as of the december IBB. Not too shabby

Easy words from the left seat of the Bus...something a lot of us won't see except when your fat a$$ lifts to fart.

This "response" is an embarrassment. We are expected to go above and beyond every day...yet the company's STATED policy (read Dave's letter he sent home) is to pay mediocre/industry standard at best.

Why can't we pay above and beyond just as we are expected to perform above and beyond?

Think SWA, DAL, AA guys are cleaning dirty diapers out of seat back pockets?? They all make more than us and have better retirement/health care.

Case closed...

Whilst I agree with your sentiment I must say that I don't and will not clean clean the aircraft. I was hired to fly, load the FMS and do walk arounds. Stop cleaning the goddamn plane its not your job.

Guys when you get on the gate run the checklists pull out and do the ops for the next leg spin the ir's the plane will miracuously already be cleaned. At that point smile at the fa's and ask them if you can pick them up dinner while they board and you will be " one of the good guys " every time. Works like a champ

Hey Flapper 30,

Why don't you tell the class the whole story.

PS. Tell Dave,Chew, JR and Vinny I said hello and that that they can go do something humanly impossible!

 

[johnsonrod]

What's up with some junior Airbus pilots getting no raise? That seriously makes no sense to me. I would be getting my 737 type and applying to SWA like everyone else (and then wait in line forever) or applying to Netjets (and waiting in line forever) if that happened to me.... That's like giving only a few of your kids Christmas presents. Times are tough for EVERYBODY...

 

[a320drivr]

JB mgmt. can suck my pole!!! Especially you JR and VS. And DB, I hope you and Russ enjoy you raises and $12,000 a month housing allowance and your love pad at the Trump Plaza.

 

[monkeybrains01]

A little off topic, but since were talkin about JB...what is the deal with the GREAT DAY!!! guy, had to follow him across the country for the 2nd time in 3 months and came dangerously close to killing myself. Obviously compensating for something. I feel sorry for his f/o's

 

[a320drivr]

He found God a few yrs ago. Total tool.

How out of touch are you. I can only hope you are a senior 320CA, at least you would have an excuse for your post....and even with that, many of the 320 CA's I know are very PISSED OFF

 

[PCL_128]

Dang, the mood at Blue seems to have changed quite a bit lately. Sorry that morale is so bad, but I'm glad that you guys are so gung-ho for a union.

 

[8vATE]

Jeez...

Reality check...

Go vote for a union if you want.
Maybe it's the way to go.

But don't think for a second it's going to be a magical fairy tale solution.

Better let.. go to work for a real airline. Like DAL, AMR, UAL, US, NWA or better yet... hit the lottery and go to UPS/SWA/FDX.

JetBlue management listened to the pilot group and probably did about the best they could in this current climate. You have mediocre medical, middle of the road retirement and a committment to never furlough.

I really wonder why some of you guys are whining SO LOUDLY... maybe there are ulterior motives, ego/political power trip wannabes.... Maybe some of you just want to beat your chest about how Jetblue is all about screwing up your life.

Take a look around.... Open your frackin' eyes up.

This place isn't perfect but it doesn't deserve a lot of this nasty rhetoric.

And yes I'm an A320 captain... I've also flown for the commuters, a major freight carrier (now shutting down) and an international major (furloughed).

 

[Hair-on-Fire]

Well, that's what pilots do.

I especially like the guy complaining about helping the FA's clean. WE"RE NOT REQUIRED TO DO IT. So quit doing it, or quit complaining about it.

There's nothing to be mad about in this compensation review. There are issues that won't and can't legally be addressed without a CBA. The pay scales did increase, so it just provides a stronger base on which JBPA can build. Send in your card and chill out.

YOU mayhave received a raise, but I sure as hell didn't. In fact, with the loss of pay if I get sick, I just took a pay cut.

This inequity in terms of pay raise sounds like the biggest bonehead move I have heard in awhile. Sure, the industry is imploding and there isn't much cash available. That said, don't distribute it unless you can distribute it equitably to the entire group. Excluding certain pilots can lead to serious morale deflation - and that ain't good in a service business...

 

[donvag]

Ladies and gentlemen the E-190 is officially B-scale pay. Now I understand why our guys have problems jumpseating on NW
