More facts for potential new hires at JB. Spent half of last year on reserve on first year pay 190. Half of the year with a line on 2nd year pay 190. $63K gross.
-January schedule 15 off with 80 hours credit. Weekends off.
-Feb Schedule 84 hours, 15 off, Don't work a single Sat or Sun and only 1 Friday

Many people have different schedules based on base, seat etc. Just trying to let people know what my life is like with a couple years in. Life can be good here, but my advise is to have a HUGE emergency fund if you are going to use JetBlues healthcare.

Well see Busdriver. There is attrition. Yes it it horrible that these guys are getting fired with no representation. Just trying to get you to make light of the situation as it is way to scary to think of it in a serious context.

A320 JFK new hires +1 year on reserve. My buddy is in his 14th month.

As good as my schedule is on the 190 (all weekends off), all the guys in my new hire class that were hired on the bus are also still on reserve. Realistically though, the way the last few bids have gone, there is no way any new hire will get hired onto the bus in the near future. Way to many guys on the 190 with seat locks coming up. Also if you are a year and a half or less on property on the bus you might be on reserve for at least another year to come.

For those that are getting hired in the near future I would bid the 190 if you want to see a line any time soon. Unless you live in a city that only has bus overnights as you might get lucky and get some overnights at home. RSW, TPA, or any west coast flying for example.

Lies??? It's a fact, 20 JetBlue pilots have been fired in the last 12 months. Call pro standards, email the PVC, talk to the chief pilot's office. Again 20 pilots have been fired in the last 12 months.

Of your supposed 20, how many for drug/alcohol related issues. Those idiots would get fired from any airline union or not so I don't really count them towards your total. Mr. Computer and Mr. Nordo and other questionable cases can be argued as wrongful terminations, although both men had the opportunity to not make stupid decisions and therefore could have saved themselves from their predicaments.

By the way, yes voter, volunteer, just not an angry insufferable jerk like you.

Of course some of these terminations may actualllyb be justified but 20 in one year is quite a bit. I know some of these were training and a handful of substance abuse issues but as noted by the PVC via email disciplinary actions are on the rise. This has been company wide as 20+ known union supporting FA 's have been fired in the last few months.
 
20 firings is an accurate number, some other than OC activity (training) but 95% of all disciplinary action in 2012 was taken on OC members and 3A signees. Perhaps your blue dream is a myth and you are the "haters" for lashing out at those willing to speak the truth.

When the COO said he'd make it personal after the ALPA vote, he wasn't kidding. Is it a good career choice to work for such a man?

What is competitive these days?
Click to expand...

Apparently jetblue bottom barrel basement compensation is competitive. We represent the lowest end of the A320 spectrum of major airline compensation. Because technically we are a major, in size only, we are the lowest band of A320 comparison, and because we exist there, we compete and compare poorly to other major airlines.

Avoid this place like the plague.
 
Maybe I should pass the brief case to a man in a long trench coats in a dark parking garage, while you keep the getaway car running......

Useless.
 
The context to the statement to call Mark is regarding what would occur if a UAL or DAL or AA pilot failed a drug or alcohol test.

Just as I knew the case would be, that phone call would not net me any real information about pilots fired without any justifiable cause. The truth is that pilots have been fired for good reason, but that doesn't fit your scare narrative.

If you want me to be concerned about pilots being fired for reporting to work and failing a drug or alcohol test, you have the WRONG guy. I have a zero tolerance policy for reporting to the cockpit under the influence. My customers, my coworkers and my company are entitled to clean cockpit crews.

If some organizing committee members failed drug/alcohol tests, lied on an asap report, or intentionally smashed company property, that says more about you guys than the company and if the facts on these get out, you will get no support on these issues from anyone but your fellow extremists. And that is exactly why you guys have given no specificity on these ALLEGED unjustified firings.
 
Actually, what I've heard about computer guy is that he's got a lawyer, has a very good case, and has a real chance of winning. Everyone is real hush hush, but if he was indeed wrongfully fired, he's about to get DEEP into Jetblue's pockets.

Good.

If he deliberately smashed his computer, threatened the FO, and acted like an a$$hole, then he deserves to be fired and he won't get a damn thing. But if he didn't, it's going to come out in discovery and/or in court, and he's going to get a lot of money plus his job back if he wants it.

The truth will come out in time.

You changed the subject juicer.

The point of reaching out to Prostandards was to check the facts regarding what protections are available to UAL, DAL pilots if they failed a alcohol or drug test?

Someone said the same as this place and you apparently agreed. Then you posted you called (which you didn't) and apparently did not want to know the answer since you did not ask the question of what protection are available to UAL and DAL etc pilots.

When a juicer is a troll she become smarta$$.

I never called, period. I will not call. I have no trust that the person you refer me to isn't just as dishonest as you.

Pilots have been fired for cause. Sorry your friends do really stupid skit like showing up drunk/high, smashing company property or lie on an asap report. Maybe no one told them it was wrong to do those things. And it is now clear why you provide no specificity on any of these alleged unjustified firings, because you would get NO support.
 
Don't know him. I now know you well enough to know I don't trust you or your recommendations.

Your right, the last 7-8 years of posting about my previous regional airlines and now at JetBlue were all just a setup so I can be a management stooge.

Wow.
