jetblue for 2013 will officially have the worst healthcare coverage in the industry on Jan 1.
for 2013 jetblue has increased healthcare cost and decreased coverage considerably. ppo and traditional plans removed in favor of an hsa as the only option.
comparable to blue care 3 2012 option which was $60 per month New green plan cost is $300 per month
10% increase in employee copay, er copay doubled to $300, family deductible increased from $800 to $2600, reaching deductible does not count towards employee max out of pocket expense, and there is no " existing condition " carry in for the new year and everyear thereafter.
It is very important these facts are provided as many potential pilot candidates refrence this site and they need to know that jb is offering the worst and highest cost coverage in the industry.
In addition the BOD has directed every department to cut cut cut budgets in an attempt to increase shareholder value. The only place they can gut is the employees..
Hotel budget for 2013 was just cut 12% which means lower quality hotels for crews.
Training center instructors just notified that they are being cut from A320 FO pay based on 90hrs per month to 70 hrs per month. This is a $2500-$3000 paycut for every instructor there
Reserves being flown more.. Company plan is to have the reserve fly 65 hours per month that way you can still have a buffer for irops but nevr make premium pay.
That above has cut premium pay ( time over 78hrs paid at 150% ) from 15% of flt ops budget down to 2%. Most pilots are making nearly $10,000 less this year even though we had a longevity increase and a 2.2% payraise.
management salaries have increased nearly 78% in the last three years
This is all my opinion based on what i have seen and read do your own research for verification. Ask questions, gather facts,
