On Strike
You typically have a strike committee that organizes everything. You can be active in the picketing, or you can stay home and watch it on TV. Either is OK. I'm on the JetBlue interview team, and we are not permitted to ask questions about Union activity. That's your deal, and none of our... -

Beware of (little johnny)cockpit visitors
They tell this story in FFDO school, as an example. I heard it my self, but there was no claim that it ever actually happened, but it certainly could. -
October 1, 2008.....A sad day in Commercial Avation.
Had the west agreed to Date of Hire, this wouldn't have happened, BUT, DOH wasn't the way to go. However, neither was slotting with little or no protections. Even the west should have just said no to the arbitration, knowing it would create problems for an airline that doesn't need any more... -

Important Items in the Delta/NWA "Merger"
To me, either looks just fine. As long as it is neat and the crew is well groomed, and both dressed somewhat the same. At my prior legacy airline, we had a cutoff date for uniform jackets, etc. If you were caught not wearing your cap, they would mail you a new one, and payroll deduct the... -
SWA emergency in PHX Monday @ 10:20
Same thing happened to me in EWR a couple weeks ago in a 320. I think we closed 4L for at least :30 mins. Sorry guys (Dual BSCU Failure) -
Delta pilots return to 2000 pay rates
Our "pay raise" was mostly robbing Peter to pay Paul. -
Usapa Files "appeal" On Case Dismissal
I fully support the east guys. The arbitration was a negligent document with very little thought put into it. Should have included some fences for BOTH sides to protect their local flying. East guys gave up a lot to help keep the company going, including the pension plan, only to have the... -
Fuel Requirement Discussion
IFR Bingo Fuel is calculated with the following acronym: D - Present position to Destination Fuel A - Alternate Fuel R - :45 Reserve C - Contingency Fuel (On the 320 I add 1000) So it appears that B is the correct answer if you are holding over the Alternate. -

Jetblue looses 7.0 M
Without your negative spin, your post could have read: 1. Testing markets and pulling out of a few that have underperformed. At the same time moving into market where others have failed. 2. Reducing the growth by deferring some orders, and and terminating leases on those with less favorable... -
jetblue closes the door 20' prior to departure.
I don't think a re-dispatch is required any more, just a nod from System Ops, and you're good to go. (Up to 60 mins early) I'm sorry this happened though. -
UA furlough numbers released
Don't forget many of those lost most of their retirement in BK, and now are scrambling to make a few bucks to make up for that. While the young guy still has time. Believe me that an age 60 guy/gal, who has been doing this for 30+ years would love to leave now, but many can't financially... -
JetBlue defers delivery on 31 A320s
I'll agree with the little chance of 200 Airbi by 2014, but as far as the LH cash, I don't think it's been touched. We've got plenty of cash for the moment, so we're not sure why we've chosen to raise more. Maybe just doing it while we can for future insurance. Doubt we're next in line... -

US Airways May 12th class
Don't be surprised if there is another furlough at US this fall. If you are on the bottom 10% of any legacy carrier, I would be catching up your logbook, and working on the resume. Not to sound negative, but the furloughs may be in full force when the summer is over. Best to start preparing... -

The Interview Suit
Jet Driver, I do some of the interviewing at JetBlue and I can tell you that it is just fine to blend in with the crowd as far as how you are dressed. Tie pulled up tight, etc. Your personality should shine, and it's OK if that stands out, a little. You want them to remember you. Navy or... -
USAIR Capt denies JS to SWA commuter!
