BBJ FO bid

[brokeflyer]

The type is no good its a 737IGWNG or something like that. Basically it only applies to BBJ's

nope.....B-737 is what the type reads

Please send me a pm if anyone has his contact detail. Thanks

I thought it was a different type. My bad.

Again, if you look at the big picture, why not get some BBJ time? If you are a "younger" pilot with 20+ years remaining (through age 65) at NJA, why not get two years of BBJ flying with the seat lock? Clearly from an economic standpoint for some people it might not make sense. But, if you have other family income (spouse works) and you want to get some interesting experience, why not do it for two years?

I am betting that was the rationale for the eventual bidder who secures that slot. After two years you can return to the left seat of the Sovereign or Galaxy with some BBJ time under your belt and some interesting stories (maybe about long waiting times at foreign FBOs). Or, you could apply to SWA if you so desire...

He turned it down .. claims he never bid it - was a total surprise to him.

Knowing him, he thought he bid the capts slot on the BBJ when he actually bid the FO slot. Doesn't suprise me a bit.

 

[RNObased]

I would have done it.

Of course I'm a saidest (or however you spell it)

I have a list of other things you are also. Give me a shout and I will run through them with you.

This is starting to get funny, wonder when they're going to get a taker?

Just call him back at NJ headquarters in OH. If he isn't there, I'm sure they will tell you how to get in touch.

Hey folks. When you upgrade at NJA, is pay based on yrs of service, or years in program, a/c type? In other words if you were an f/o for 5 yrs, would you go back down to 1st yr capt pay?

only in the bbj and GIV/GV aircraft

If anyone really, really feels a need to fly a BBJ or similar, I know that AirTran is hiring into the 700.

Apparently, nobody wants to fly it.

 

[notaNJApilot]

It's kind of silly actually. The pay for this position has been in the contract for the past year. If you don't want a position, don't bid for it!

 

[doylehargraves]

I'll take it as a new hire!

I don't think that any sane pilot would leave NJA for Airtran, but FYI Airtran only hires regional airline pilots or military pilots, they don't consider part 135 or 91 flying, so that eliminates a lot of good pilots.

How about leaving NJA for skybus? CMH based start up airline...flying A319s.

Never happen, lot of us hired within the last couple of years (guessing at least 100 pilots) have bids in for that BBJ fo slot and WILL accept the award.
The problem right now is all of the pilots that never read the new contract pay scale bid the position and are turning it down, right now they're still at pilots with 6+ years with the company, in a couple of years they'll get to the 2 year pilots that will accept the award.
