Aircraft's and Pilot Seniority
Shon7, Thanks for your interest. I'll do my best to explain it to you, since I am in the middle of the musical chairs as we speak, at United. In general it used to be at United the bigger the airplane, the higher the pay. Also, in general that captains make more than first officers. Bids up... -

Interesting JBLU review...
*****Excerpted from article: Having studied JetBlue carefully and flown it roughly two dozen times, I'm convinced that it is not only the greatest airline I've ever encountered, but one of the finest businesses in the world. Seriously. Not in the sense that its margins or competitive advantages... -

'Blue cleaning crew
Aroundtheblock, The customer is the one with the choice, not you. If the customer wants to fly on an airline with good service, he/she will. As a pilot, where do you draw the line? Do you just fly the plane? Do you help customers with their questions or is that just a customer service rep... -

'Blue cleaning crew
On the United Shuttle we used to all pitch in to get the job done. Sometimes it was the only way to get the plane out on time, because we had 25 minute turns. We had a great esprit de corp on the Shuttle. Never once did I here "that's not my job". If help was needed in the cabin or ramp, it... -

JetBlue and AirInc ??
Let me say up front, I'm not a big fan of Kit Darby or anyone else making a buck off people in hard luck times. However, job fairs do serve a purpose. If you're going with hopes of getting an interview, then you are viewing the job fair the wrong way. Except for perhaps a few commuters, very few... -

JetBlue to Make Major News Announcement
Dear FlyDeltaJets, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For you perhaps the research does not work out that JB is a good place to work. Maybe that will change if your union agrees to wage cuts? Who knows. As I said before on a different thread, money is not the only thing that drives job... -

JetBlue to Make Major News Announcement
It will be quite interesting to see where the first JB EMB-190's are deployed. I can imagine that UsAirways could be in trouble on the East Coast. Looking outside the east coast, I think that United and Alaska could be in trouble on the West Coast. Of course, United is in trouble anyway. The... -

JetBlue to Make Major News Announcement
I just listened to the conference call. For those who are naysayers, it would be good to listen to the call too. On the surface the latest announcement will likely create more naysayers (different fleet type, growth too fast, departure from business plan, increased CSM, etc.). However, with a... -

Pilots with guns
Hey dude, While I may not be a big fan of packing, I don't think discussion about things like this should be on a public forum. You're asking questions about National security, so may I politely suggest you keep your questions off public forums. Skirt -

April 30 JetBlue
For those who are curious, the JetBlue process is exactly as advertised. There are no tricks. Very user friendly, and comfortable. Yes, the process now has everyone in a group (8-9 at a time) interviewing in a big room. It was awkward for about two seconds, then very reassuring. You could hear a... -

jetBlue Captain Pay?
Since you obviously work at one of the "big majors", and so do I, here are two questions for you (or anyone else who wants to chime in).... How much is work environment worth? How much is trustworthy, smart, ethical leadership worth? I ask you because we both make more than JB does, but I... -

Kid Charlemagne wrote: quote... BTW, don't buy into it when some Blue-Aid drinkers tell you non-JetBlue pilots we don't need a raise cause we make a fortune in profit sharing. We do get some pretty healthy profit sharing, that's true. But what they are not telling you is all that profit sharing... -

jetBlue Captain Pay?
To all JetBlue critics, The title of this thread does make me chuckle. Why does it always come down to pay? Sure, good pay is important, but there are a few things in life that are hard to put a pricetag on. No, I do not work for JetBlue. I don't have blue blood, or drink blue koolaid. Yes, I... -

JetBlue Debt
Dgs and Blue Dude, Thanks! I'm going to scope out the scene tommorrow and see if I can catch Dave Barger for a moment to ask. I think it is great that he shows up for these gigs. I do worry that it is too heavy of a question to ask in an interview forum. I almost would rather dig up some... -

JetBlue Debt
JetBlue experts, This is not another one of those "does jB pay its bills" questions!!! I already know all about that one...no urban legends there. I have done a bunch of research, but I still can't figure out how the debt works out. I know half the planes are leased from Airbus, half are... -

Jointops, You are a fountain of info. Phenominal. What else did Dave Barger say in his gathering today. I sure like the level of communication that goes on at JB. skirt -

Blue Dude and Counselair, Thanks for the replies. Yes, I did also check out aviationinterviews.com, I forgot to add that to my post (it was late when I signed up). Good stuff. Blue Dude thanks for the lengthy reply. I had not gotten all the way through the 10K talking about the a/c... -

JetBlue Apr 30th Interview Invites?
Chaz, Yes, I got an invite, and it seems like it was a last minute addition. Just got the email Friday (April 11). I could have gotten it the day before, and I would still be just as happy. Skirt here is what you asked for 5200TT, 2700PIC, 3500 over 20K -

Okay all you Jetblue experts... I'm headed in for the "big day" on April 30....been doin' lots of research. I've read through most of the last few months posts, and checked out about everything a person can on the web. I am quite impressed...sounds like a way cool place to fly. I have a few... -
