Sorry this is so late...didn't find this great site until last minute!!! I have an interview with jetBlue next Tues and I have been reading many of the glowing recommendations about your services.....Is there ANY chance I can get a telephone consult sometime between now and then? I would be most appreciative.......if not said:
Anyone can already fly more than 8 hours in 24 hours. I think you mean more than 8 hours between rest periods.
Lemme see here. This is how a JetBlue pilot responds to request from a prospective fellow pilot who pleas for help -- by misquoting and slamming somebody else. I'm beside myself here with laughter, given all this recent raving about how superior the atmosphere is in the Blue Utopia. Everyone gets along with everyone, and nobody can understand why it isn't that way everywhere.
Nobody said, SKANK, that you can't fly more than 8 hours in 24 hours (at least not in THIS short thread.) USNFDX referred to the "8 in 24" rule by it's common name, that is, the "8 in 24" rule. Most of us in the industry know what USNFDX referred to when he said "8 in 24" and most of us know how to apply it. Until recently, we all viewed it as a limit that, while imperfect, at least offered SOME sort of protection from having to work even LONGER with LESS rest than the loosest interpretation of that rule will allow. (Recently, some Blue Utopians have asserted that it is too restrictive, and they should be allowed to work longer than that, but that discussion is on other threads.) I don't think USNFDX meant "more than 8 hours between rest periods," as you assert. In fact, I think USNFDX is quite capable of saying exactly what he means. Ergo, I think he meant to say exactly what he said, that is, "8 in 24."
So, there's this guy that's got an interview with JetBlue, and he's asked for some help. Ball's in your court.
