B6 Hiring

[banger]

Could you tell me which major airline you can get hired at today and upgrade in less than 10 years?

None of them, and at JB it may be 30

Or 5 or 6 or 15 or etc. Who knows, probably not a good measure of where to apply.

I love all this talk about weekends off, holidays off and summer vacations. I guess only JetBlue pilots work on weekends and holidays. We should vote a union so we can all have weekends, holidays and summers off.

Vacation yes we do need a union to fix it.

JetBlue allows only 2 weeks per pilot.

12 years or newbies only 2 weeks.

Then the bidding system awards 6 weeks to the 12 year pilot.

Newbie gets nothing.

Compare that to any other vacation section in any peer CBA.

JetBlue allows very little vacation compared to any other peer pilot group.

Send 30 minutes comparing our FSM to just Alaska or swa CBA. You might learn something.

You don't "need" a CBA to solve this and there's no proof a CBA will solve it.

Going on 13 years with no fix.

Every airline in our peer group has it fixed.

Difference is a CBA vs DR.

Are you are house pilot.

US Airways for sure

One juicer posts the problem does not exist and the next juicer posts a union (collective bargaining instead of one item at a time direct relationship) isn't needed to fix the problem. Bottom line is Jetblue pilots have by a country mile the worst vacation system in the peer group and the juicers argue both sides of the issue. They are part of the reason why we can't get anywhere near peer standard anything.

Okay juicer, use your open door policy and ask them to fix it for us. Get back with us on the result.

The so called fix proposed by the PVC only fixes part of the issue. More slots need to be allocated and variance restrictions imposed. Will the company ever fix it Hairy?

Hawaiian's most junior Captain is an '08 hire...... Through just attrition anyone on the list now should be at the 50-55% point within 10 years.... With a little more growth over the next few years upgrades COULD be at 6-8 years... Or ******************** could hit the fan and it'll be 20

Either way, many many go straight into a widebody doing heavy international... Not a bad deal IMO
