New Hires at Jetblue.... please.........

[1678]

So, when you go through new hire training and someone who has been there for several years are trying to educate you on the "problems"
at JB, don't run to the CPs and wine. Just maybe you could learn something by listening to the senior pilot who has seen and experienced what its like at JB for many years.

Whether or not you hate your previous union who got you Legal protection, medical protection, an enforceable CBA, with a right to grieve issues, etc, is up to you. But, come on. Be an adult. Listen and "argue" in a professional and cordial manner without running to "The Office" and "ratting" out the people you will be flying with in future. You will just make yourself look like a "cry baby".

Please be a professional.

It's pretty pathetic that this has to be said.

Agreed. If you don't want someone to talk about that stuff say, "Man, I know you have a lot to gripe about, but let's just fly the trip and talk about women."

Why do you say it has to be said? Did something happen? I have not heard of this situation.

Someone care to spill the beans?

Supposedly a new-hire was off campus with a captain and was told some things about JetBlue that conflicted with his happy new world view, so he complained about the captain to the training department and/or the OSC chief pilot. It's all hearsay at this point, but if it happened then yes, it is pathetic that some people actually do need a reminder to handle their own "problems" than go bawling to mother.

Unfortunatley it happened. I know the CA personally and the story is pretty much acurate as explained.

Sad

I am also a friend of the Captain. It happened exactly as described. Newhire didn't like what he was told over beers at the freakin' pool, and cried to Sandman like a bi-otch. Utterly pathetic.

I am a new hire at my current airline. Honestly, I don't want to hear the bitchin'. I know not everyone is happy. Just let the new guys enjoy the new job for a bit without trying to bring um down. That being said, there is no way in hell I would ever go to a cp about something like that.

Spot on.

 

[B6Busdriver]

Sounds like newbie needs a blanket party. Completely chicken dung. Be a man.

Sandman's newly created position in MCO is the equivalent of a political officer of the Gestapo or the religious police on the streets of Riyadh.

Fwiw, the vast majority of us agree with you. Being in training should be a time to enjoy your new job, and learn the company and the jet. Having said that, if you're at a social area with adult beverages in hand, and start lecturing current employees about our benefits, you should expect to be engaged.

Thereafter running straight to a CP makes me question this person's emotional stability and maturity.

Yep...

 

[Caddaddy]

Time to order a "Code Red".....

 

[Andy]

Every company has its 1%ers. I'm sure this person will be 'famous' in short order.

If I might recommend a fitting nickname: 'Dopey Smurf'

 

[Flyer1015]

Who is Sandman? Sounds like someone has been playing a little too much Modern Warfare 3.

Are you at JB?

He's VX.

... or the religious police on the streets of Riyadh.

Mutaween. Whenever I saw them, I headed for the nearest exit. Nothing good ever came from an exchange with the Mutaween.

 

[Skank]

Code Red...
"You can't handle the truth!" (don't know how to show spit flying on the internet)
Lot of good lines from that movie that apply here.

 

[asayankee]

As a new hire why wouldn't you want to hear the experienced viewpoints on things? Whether I agree or not, I want both sides of the story and I'll make up my own mind. During recruitment/training you are bombarded with company sunshine up your ass....I would be looking for the other side of the story...not reporting somebody for showing me what's behind the curtain. What a ******************************!!!

 

[Splert]

ASA RJ FO new hire with blue juice and alcohol in his system wearing his new blue speedo at the pool trying to tell another pilot that Jetblue's health care is better than ASA's. Goddamn right you will get rolled in on. Health care is not something you want to be juiced, buzzed, stupid and arrogant talking to pilot with a family and two kids about.

Then she runs to the company.

WTF ASA?

 

[bri5150]

Okay, obviously I didn't get the whole story. My previous post stands, but I also don't go looking for trouble. I just want to be fat dumb and happy at the new job for a few months before I become jaded a pissed off.

Interesting. Care to PM a name?

Meanwhile, I can't even get an interview....

Beer and jb poltitics, great mix. Can we talk religion next?

Sure, we can talk about religion off duty, as long as you don't scamper off to the chief pilot's office when you disagree.

 

[hoover84]

I agree, maybe the other pilot felt bullied? Not everyone wants to hear your view on or off campus.

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

Then don't ask at the bar, "so what's it really like here?"

In fact, in my experience, a bar is a great place to exercise one's right to remain silent, provided you still have the ability to do that.
