Jb fo pay

[Smarta$$]

e

I appreciate it..

However, I don't see whats so great about being a junior FO for many years to come in the 190 in JFK or BOS ? All to make the same pay I am now, our pay scale goes to 105 an hour.

JB has to nearly double in size before I will ever see the left seat. I don't think that is possible. Seeing the legacys are cutting capacity in the coming years.

Its a gamble, I know. Its just a personal choice. Good luck to all

aewannabe, he has it all figured out. Let him make his decision, and live with the results....

There are PLENTY of guys and gals that really want to be here, and would be a better choice.

Live with the results ?? I am quite sure I'll be able to sleep easy choosing to avoid Jetblue. Geez.

Why all the hate ? Does the truth bother you ?? Your a 190 FO. You telling me it's the last stop on the train for you ?? I hardly doubt it.

I simply stated facts, and gave you my personal decesion and your giving me s^it

Stop channeling Nathan Thurm circa 80's SNL with the "I'm not being defensive. You're the one who's being defensive." or "Is it me, or is it him? It's him, right?" By the way, you're going to have to tighten up that spelling when you interview at UAL/CA.

Clark, If your a CA at Mesa you have been there more then 10 years which means you have already made pleanty of carear mistakes.

Working for the likes of Mesa and looking down on JetBlue. What a joke! I personally would have chosen another line of work before going to Mesa, though I understand that some have to bite the bullet and live with it when better options aren't available. Guys like you equating Mesa to a reputable company is a big reason pilots get used like they do.

I came from Comair to JetBlue, and if you have a doubt that you don't want to come here. Please don't come. JetBlue is an awsome place to work with great people, and there are tons of pilots that would love to come here. I am one of them.

Jeeeessssssuuuuuusssssss......... Get off the juice will you, WAKE UP.

 

[Blue Dude]

What a great recruiting slogan: "JetBlue - better than Comair!" We'll be beating back top candidates with a stick!

 

[BeachBummer]

I see jetblue as a sealock of sorts. We take in all the kick backs from other airlines when times are tough. Then all of a sudden airlines start hiring again and furloughs get call backs and the masses flow out the back door. I think 2007 was the last real mass hiring from the other airlines and we lost somthing on the order of 300+/-.

It'll be interesting to see if and where we lose our numbers this time.

 

[KarmaPolice]

To those of you who want to work THAT hard for 80-100K, PRE TAXES. WOW. That's sad. Well, not to your shareholders. Maybe I need to buy Jetblue stock if that is the culture there. Your management knows what they are doing if they've got you convinced that is adequate compensation for enduring that kind of life destruction.

You do realize that they were talking about 2nd year pay right? Don't get me wrong, the pay and retirement need significant improvement, but I doubt that many airlines besides SW pay their pilots 80-100k 2nd year without working hard.

You guys are killing me...

On RSV 2nd year pay 75hr months 12 months gets you:

$62,100bus $55,800E90

3 more hrs gets you to premium pay.

It comes out to getting 33.5hrs credit above 75 on the bus and 40.5hrs credit above 75 on the 190 to get to 100k/year. No this does not include perdiem because perdiem is not PAY.

SO,you will have to credit 108.5bus hrs of credit a month or 115.5E90 hrs of credit. Sure you'll do it... and kill yourself trying. Reallity says there's no friggin way dude. The stories you've heard are of a jetblue when by year two guys were either very senoir bus fo's or upgrading in one way or another in 11-24mo. This world no longer exists.

Someone please prove me wrong! I'd love to see your schedule for the year.

No proof required, I agree with you. Not really possible. Not really possible at most other airlines either, other than Fedex and SW.

Dang, my third year as FO at Allegiant I would have made about $106,000, but then I got called for upgrade and make even more. JetBlue's FO's are making less than that with a much longer upgrade and they still voted no for the union? Why would any mainline pilot ever vote down a union if you aren't even making six figures? There are way too many cowards in this business now days.

Compare pay rates, work rules, min days off, premium pay rates, premium pay rate trigger and night override pay between JetBlue and Allegiant... Not even close. No way you can earn more for equal work and days off. While I agree a CBA is preferred, cowardice is not the reason we don't have one, but instead a difference in the way the two sides view the market, the company and ALPA'S history. Like most disagreements, both sides have valid arguments and concerns.

Pay attention!! RTFQ

We are talking about 2nd year pay. Plus when you got hired obviously things were moving at allegiant. Things were that way to at blue once.Guys were upgrading in 14-24 months here as well. You stand a much better chance at 100k third year, esspecially now that the hiring is moving along.

Your point of the union makes no sense in this conversation. Stop making me defend the no voters...

Think how much more you could make with JetBlue work rules.

One of my classmates last Fall was coming from Allegiant and was soon to upgrade as well. Perhaps he had a different view??

Let's be clear on a fact you eluded to mention. Allegiant pilots refused to even vote for ALPA because management offered pay raises. You are in a much worse situation than we are.

As for the cowards in this business I believe we have our fair share.
