JetBlue no longer to honor pay review process.

Coming from a regional pilot who wants to work for allegiant? Now that's funny.

Coming from a "major" airline pilot who flies regional routes in an E190. Enjoying that? WOW - you formerly flew the ERJ and you made it to the "big time" in your huge E190. You could have gone to Delta or Fedex or SWA, but you chose JB. You won the lotto! Good for you!

BTW, how do you like your Wal-Mart, low-cost health insurance?

I asked a question about Allegiant - not the same as applying for the job. DUMBa$$.

True, but if I was at a bankrupt Pinnacle today, I'd take JetBlue in a heartbeat.

Smartjuice left 9e b4 the bankruptcy... He chose JetBlue.

And I would do it 100 times over again... maybe more.

The routes I fly are a mix of regional routes and routes more traditional to A320-717-737-dc9. Is that what you think defines a job? The kind of route or airplane I fly? I can tell you this is 3 times the job I had at my regional, and if the airplane bothered me that much, I can bid they're A320/321 someday. By the way, I am in no hurry to do that, if your little brain can understand that.

As for allegiant, the questions you were asking show that you want to work their, or are writing a report for airline class. If I had time waste, I would quote you. Either way, I get paid more to fly my "RJ " than allegiant, spirit, virgin.... how is allegiant retirement by the way?

So if not based on the industry average of the peer set, then what _________________? (method)

Total Rewards.

Look it up.

Total rewards is recognition that pay in itself is not the sole motivator.

It acknowledges that it is both the tangible and intangible aspects of the work experience that contribute to the employees’ sense of engagement and choices in their careers.

 

[Redtailer]

Seems like pretty simple math. For the last decade salaries have either gone down or sideways for the most part. Well, the new contracts are now going up. So is it really a surprise that they no longer want to use the average?

Remember, you don't get what you deserve you get what you negotiate.

Instead of $$$$money, jetBlue thinks that your pay in also made up of

-Culture
-New shiny jets
-A "no furlough policy"
-A moat
-Industry leading PEA
-Blue chips
-An open door policy (but don't go over my helmet!)
-...fast upgrades
-organic growth(wide bodies don't fit at T5)
-anual pay reviews
-2 FSM's
-great Health care
-LOL, LTD, STD that doesn't quit... sort of
-8% retirment contribution... (as long as you don't want profit sharing, but if you take a 5% pay cut, they'll give you 5% more for a total of 13%)
-They hired me with no PIC (not me, but they do do this)
-It's so much better than my regional carrier... (well, duh...)
-No union dues, we have a PVC for free.
-Highest paid E-190 drivers in the world.
-Premium pay (have you seen that 150% over 78hrs) There's a value to that, that they're workin on.
-A pat on the back and company wide recognition for... doing your job. yes a high five is worth somethin.
-CULTURE! ... have we seen this before?
-I'm sure there's more reasons to not get paid$$$$ at jetBlue, but I've had afew beers and it's time for bed.

Insert your substitution for $$$ here:_____________________________

Thanks for all you do! We have arrived at a $$52million dollar profit for the second Q earnings double last year. We'd like to raise your health care cost now so you can own your health.

In the last PVC email, JetBlue has told the PVC they will no longer provide annual raises to our base pay based on industry average of the peer set.

So you're saying that Management promised you something and then reneged? Wow. Nobody could have seen that coming.


If only there were a way to put their promises down in writing and make them legally binding............

After all, the 'free market' guarantees that you will get the pay you deserve, not the pay they tell you you're going to get, right? Well, you can always just quit and go to another company that will pay you better. No big deal.

Don't forget to tell those 'socialist' Delta pilots how they're destroying America.

Nice rant. Don't know what it has to do with me.

Quit being so defensive. He was just referencing the info you posted.

Gah! That statement alone sent me to the corner twitching. That's how they signed all the e-mails at 9E when they denied your drop/swap request due to staffing, asked for anything or when bad news (like a bankruptcy) was just around the corner....
