    Major Airline Captains, would you recommend career to your son/daughter?

    Yes, but only for some very specific reasons. 1. Airline hiring boom is on the horizon because of massive retirements. 2. Son's HS is providing free flying lessons (no additional tuition) next year with their new program. Seniors in the aviation program should graduate with a Private...

    Jb is a cult

    Some of use call it the Juice Box.

    Options pilots. Jonathan Hill Family Fund

    The response by the JetBlue pilots is incredible.

    Arizona Soaring

    Arizona Soaring at Estella Gliderport - just wanted to give them a shoutout for treating my teenagers so well last week and giving them an experience of a lifetime. My son is about to start flight training at his highschool and getting up for some real stick and rudder instruction will do him...

    Blue jets new uniforms

    The slacks aren't standard grey pants as was mentioned earlier. They have a thin blue "window pane" watermark that makes it impossible to order matching pants from anywhere but the official vendor. I wonder which Board Member owns a piece of HPI?

    Frontier and Spirit

    Three years. Once Frontier aligns it's product completely with Spirit and any significant overlap is removed, they will merge or partner in some way to create a large ULCC carrier.

    Control tower's midair joke leads to landing miscue

    Are Bose A20s worth the money?

    Another vote for the UFM. I've had mine for a year-and-a-half and have never had a single problem with them. I recently switched from copper top Duracells to the Energizer batteries for electronics (silver cover) and am getting almost two months of solid use from each battery. I don't need...

    SWA Jumpseat question?

    FWIW - the United jumpseat info on the ALPA jumpseat page says a passport is no longer required for CASS verification. Not sure about SWA. http://www.jumpseatinfo.org/AirlineJumpseatPolicies/tabid/1592/Default.aspx Your mileage may vary... http://www.jumpseatinfo.org/

    ALPA furloughees

    ALPA hasn't furloughed anyone. Perhaps you mean the ALPA members on furlough from their airline? Semantics count... ;)

    Easiest and Cheapest way to get to FLL&PBI

    In an emergency, put out a request to the JB guys. Every day, several times a day we have pilots driving between the airports (PBI is a co-base with FLL and we have a lot of guys that live as far north as Stuart and as far south as Key Largo that make the daily drive.) You never know...

    NMB Certifies JetBlue Election to Take Place

    Today, the NMB certified the upcoming election for representation for the JetBlue pilots. JetBlue has been ordered to provide the mailing labels and the date for the balloting to open will be set shortly. Game on, ladies and gentlemen.

    swatogether

    JetBlue does not have minimum 5hr/duty period rigs. We have a trip rig that often means flying multiple legs on day one, then only one leg home on day two. For example: Day 1 - 7.4 Day 2 - 2.5 =9.9 With duty period rigs, that would add up to 12.4 hours of pay (7.4 +5.0 (rig)), but...

    JB files with NMB for representation today

    The benefits far outweigh the risks. Considering all of the options available - in-house (FedEx? AirTran?), Teamsters, Dictated Relationship (sans CBA) - ALPA brings the most opportunity for obtaining a solid, negotiated, enforceable CBA. Trust me, we know exactly what we're wishing for.

    JB files with NMB for representation

    And, our new, surprise "Dependability Policy" was "accidentally" sent out when "someone hit the wrong button". They refused to recall it and have yet to put in a call-in-well program. Dictated Relationships only benefit management and not the workers.

    New jet blue payscale?

    Yet, others have said he looked completely fine when they saw him recently. Wallstreet would react significantly if he actually had a potentially terminal illness as has been rumored on Bluepilots. Drop the melodrama and focus on business, people.

    SWA touchdown at wrong airport

    Congratulations...for being lucky.

    JetBlue in full meltdown mode

    Check CNN.com...COO blaming 117, but ALPA is calling him out on it. Hilarious...and sad.

    Insight to JetBlue operational issues?

    Meanwhile, where's Dave? JB CEO is MIA...again.
