Jb fo pay

[bocaflyer]

It's been pretty quiet lately on interviews... Any one getting a call from the Sept. app window? Or are they still calling from previous windows?

About to do another monthly update!!

They interviewed about 115 from Sept window, interviews were OCT 13 and 14. I hear the "take rate" was around 75%. Phase 2 emails for the folks that interviewed on the 13th went out today, and tomorrow is the deadline for Oct 14 interview emails. (Wish me luck!

Oh, and I have heard NOV interviews will be scheduled soon from the same Sept 1-10 window.

 

[My Man SMITH!]

Agree. Seems like a lot of working it for 85k, ( if that ) All to never see the left seat and leave when AA,UAL hires. I'll stay in my 700/900 and wait it out, and avoid 2 paycuts.

Yup. You need to do that. I hope that works out for you.

I assume you interviewed on the 14th?? Good luck!! That's a crap load of interviews for a 2 day period.....

Some guys are already scheduled for a Nov 9th (I think) interview.

Not me (sigh). :-(

count your blessings. The next year should bring about lots of hiring due to retirement. I am sure you will find yourself much better off when you get to a "destination carrier" (ie. not JetBlue).

All you guys and gals working on an interview at JB need to realize we have the worst health care and absolute worst retirement in the whole industry !

I wish everyone the job they are seeking........but realize most regionals have better benefits than we do by far !

Hey, yes sir, OCT 14th it was for me at 2:30pm. Just got the good news email for Phase 2 yesterday, pretty excited.

Believe me, I understand that. Which is why, if hired, you won't see me complaining about pay and benefits. I know a lot of guys at my current carrier that came in kinda starry eyed only to start complaining about things less than 6 months later. Some have never stopped. However, to me, there's more to a job than just the pay and benefits. There's a lot of intangibles that make B6 a good fit for me and my family. Plus, it doesn't mean the pilots shouldn't stop working to raise those pay and benefits.

My eyes are rolling around in my head so fast I can't see straight.

Don't tell Management!!!!!! They'll distribute free pizzas in lieu of pay raises just to make you feel better about yourself...

From what I have heard, if you fly the E-Jet and fly the "regional" schedule/routes that it flies day in and day out, the non-pay intangibles will become less important.

Which "intangibles" are those? Believe me, after 10 years of "intangibles" and excuses, not much matters *except* pay and benefits.

Intangibles will not fund your retirement or put your children through college and the amount deducted from your pay check for health insurance is staggering. It is unlikely you will upgrade based on current aircraft orders and our retirements number in the low double digits at most. I'm not saying you shouldn't come here but understand this is purely a stepping stone. American, USair and United are poised to turn over 50% of their pilot groups within the next 10 years. Even under bankruptcy contracts their benefits and retirement are substantially better than Jetblue's. This is a very important decision. Do so with your eyes wide open.

Have to agree!! Why the heck else do you go to work? The great satisfaction of transporting people from city A to city B? You go to work to get a pay check and have benefits!!

From what I have heard, if you fly the E-Jet and fly the "regional" schedule/routes that it flies day in and day out, the non-pay intangibles will become less important.

The only intangible I've gotten from the E190 is a numb back side. 4yrs baby!
