Does JetBlue have career FO's?

At United we have at least 500 permanent FO's.

all I have to say is WOW.

All I have to say is BS. Ask yourself how this guy would even know such a figure. Granted, it may be fun to believe because it makes you feel superior to someone else or a group of others, but this is BS.

It was around 500 before the masive downsizing. That was straight from a guy in the training dept.in 2000. That was due to fast upgrades and United having to hire very low time minorities and having hired 200-300 hour interns. If they have since upgraded , I do not know.

I've never heard anything out of the school house that's not 100% true.

What about the two minorities who got lost at Providence.

Now you are really cracking me up!!! Straight from a guy in the training dept. in 2000!!! Do me a favor and ask someone from your training dept who I should bet on tonight - FSU or Miami. (Already bet FSU at the Las Vegas Hilton sportsbook)

Here's what I know - when I worked there, I used to walk into ops and see dozens of ex-military looking male caucasians and usually a few females or minorities. It was always like that - just like every other airline, just like the different one I work at now. Like I said, its a good myth for people who have the need to feel superior - "That other airline has 200 hour pilots hired because they are minorities - we're better, or that's why I didn't get hired." All a bunch of BS.

It's not so they feel superior. It's so they don't feel inferior for getting turned down in the interview.

This week's feature: Paris Hilton in House of Glass

What about the two minorities who got lost at Providence.

Considering the events of last week, that sure is a really relevant comment. Perhaps we could start another Mil/Civ thread while we're at it.

Can you provide details of this?

...and why aren't these "permanent FO's" upgrading. What troubles are they having in particular.
