Go back to your freight-dog board!

What does UPS have to do with JetBlue first year pay? He didn't anser the question. I've worked at both companies -- there is no comparison.

That is awesome. You are the man. I am happy it worked out for you, particularly since it is obvious that you are hyper sensitive. No that we have made you feel better perhaps you can not stress over whether or not someone accidently stepped on your delicate sensibilites.

All hail the UPS guy. There is NO comparison.

I would stay at your regional job as a Capt. This company is not in great shape. A320 upgrade is 7-8yrs, 190 is about 3. I recently talked to a guy who just interviewed and the upgrade times they were giving are bunk. I have been here 7 yrs and have seen a lot happen and change. Not all for the better either. Some good. Some bad.

You Should Leave Then!!

Take a deep breath folks. Yes, UPS pays a truckload of money to everyone...after their first year.

Yes, our stock is in the crapper. Some people are happy here. Some aren't. There are certainly better gigs out there. There are also jobs at the majors you could accept only to furloughed as the new guy when {pick your legacy airline} merges with {pick your legacy airline}. Who knows who will be around in the next decade.

In conclusion, UPS rates have nothing to do with ours. This job sucks - only compared to jobs that suck less. This job is awesome compared to other jobs that suck more.

The golden handcuffs at your regional capt position are only plated and the gold will wear off..

Jetblue is still a young, dynamic, evolving company. We will be moving to our brand new terminal this time next year and rumor on the street is that terminal 6 will be refurbished and turned into an international terminal.

There is currently closed door negotiations with at least 2 major international carriers involving either a code share or possibly even an equity position.

I would say that either a merger with virgin or frontier is possible in the next few years but that is pure personal speculation.

JB is under new management and there is considerable effort being put into expanding the route structure by connecting our existing cities and adding select new cities. The goal being overflights of jfk. the company was only adding flights into jfk and they know this was an error

Email and text messaging coming soon, First Class seating coming soon,

My current QOL is exceptional. I am 43% on the 320 fo list been here just over 2 years holding 190 capt get between 15-19 days off a month nearly all commutable.

Made $49,000 yr 1, $62,000 yr 2 ( about 80 hrs avg per mo), will make about $82,000 this year

Get 5% guaranteed profit share and 100% match on 5% so the yr 3 package minus benefits is about $85-$90k gross.. figuring 90 hrs per month credit.

There is a union drive beginning for an inhouse union ( JBPA ) Which I will vote for.

Long term pay rates need to improve here as the 3 year upgrade in long gone.Our pay scale reflects the previous short upgrade times. I would go to the interview and if offered the job make a decision at thta time.

I was in a similar boat...yr 9 pay at ASA at 67/hr. Now at 47/hr. ugh... Ya gotta trim off the "fat" a bit. We got rid of True Green, combined cell phone plans, pimping the wife out...ect.

I like it here...some will cry and b!tch. Yes, improvements need to happen, but with us only being 7 yrs old, getting a handle on growth, I believe JB will be an awesome place to be. Pay will get up there, just might take a bit...Health Ins...well, I had better coverage at ASA, I'll be very vocal about that when I'm asked on the company surveys.

Good luck, it's pretty fun here.
