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?

 

[Amish RakeFight]

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

WOW. The tapes sound kind of scary. Who was the Capt. - the female or male?

FYI, the USAir crew who told the controller to go piss up a rope got all kinds of airmanship awards from ALPA and the FAA.

Super kudos to them for being sharp at o-dark-thirty in the morning. How many of us can say that?

Dang! Why was that controller in such a hurry to launch everyone!?

Not ment to be low, just curious if he was involved. A topic like this would definitely have his attention.

The fact alone that you even have to mention that is really low.

 

[Guitar rocker]

Not arguing, but isn't it 2 tries and out the door if you flunk the 3rd?

At UAL? Are you high? You are right about the 3rd strike and your out thing...that applies to everyone else.....but there are some exceptions for SOME ( we'll just leave it at SOME) at UAL. I'm willing to bet that 500 is probably a bit shy of the real figure. And actually, some are probably sitting at home collecting a pay check but are not allowed to fly the line......probably better than a law suit. I have heard that is the case for a few over there as well......

My "high"ness is often in question, but in this case I'm relatively coherent. Perhaps you need to read this thread all the way through. I was referring to JB.

 

[Guitar rocker]

Your "highness,"...you are right. I guess I got caught up with the 500 UAL permanent right seaters thing.

But I couldnt agree more with the 3 strikes and your out thing....either at JB or anywhere for that matter...

Who the hell is Bosley?

He is a real Richard Cranium that works for AAI. Suffers from the junior birdman syndrome and takes regular shots at UAL due to his inability to secure a job there.

 

[FL717]

Complete classless jack@ss!!

Anyone notice that Bosley has disappeared after the AAI guy passed away? Could it have been him?

I see that you deleted your previous post. For those who missed it..... I posted it above...... in it 32LT10 decided to suggest that one of the posters on Flightinfo whom 32LT10 dislikes and continually bashes is no longer posting on flightinfo because he is a AirTran Pilot dead killed in the Comair crash. The AirTran Pilot killed in the comair crash and his family DOES NOT deserve some chicken sh!t accuasation and association from a cowardly P.O.S. like you.

32LT10, you can spin the statement all you want.... it was a tasteless despicable dig at a dead comrade that you just couldn't resist. You are a despicable person who should have been removed from these forums when you made your previous tasteless coments regarding the crash at Valujet.

I do not mind the banter and arguments that go on these forums.... but I despise people who use death as a weapon for their diatribes.

I have requested that you be permanently banned, because you obviously have nothing to contribute rather than just use tragic circumstances to hurt people and some sort of sick enjoyment level. You aren't interested in banter.... you are interested in hurting people....period.

Also.... pray that you don't ever reveal your identity to those of us on these forums. My guess is that you are a First officer at an airline OTHER than United, and that pretending to be a United captain is simply your way of cowering anonymously behind your keyboard.

BTW You want to know who I am.... PM me.... because unlike you, I'm not some big mouthed coward who is afraid of who i am and what I say here....
