JB retiree flight benefits

Keep in mind 813ca is anti union. If you are a capt at any regional hold out for delta, usair, southwest, FedEx, ups, or united.

Yes. Way better to hold out. Keep getting your 12 days off, Topping out pay wise at 70K-90K a year, and 3% retirement. Good idea.

Yes JB need some improvements however I only work Tuesdays through Thursdays this month. That is on reserve after 10 months on property. Yes this did include useing 1 PTO day. Find me a regional pilot that has a schedule like that. You might find a Legacy pilot that does that. Not a regional pilot though.

JB might not be a final resting place for many for various reasons, but it sure is a better place to wait for Delta, Southwest, FedEx, UPS to call than any regional is.

The point is yes JB needs improvements and I will vote appropriately next time there is a union vote, but life can be very very good here as well.

This is what it has come to. Is JetBlue better than a regional? Wow.

Did you not read the post. I am saying my schedule is on par if not better than most guys at Legacy carriers. So yes i guess that does mean it is also better than a regional.

The funny thing here is that we are on the same team when it comes down to the final goal that we want. The difference between me and all of the blow hards (both on this board and our B6 board) is that I can see the good things that we do have, and I don't swet the small stuff. Some of the things I hear you guys complain about are unbelievable. I would be willing to bet that many of you could have the best pay, retirement, medical, LTD in the industry and still bitch and complain about something.

So yes B6 is better than any regional. Yes B6 has a way to go to catch up to our Legacy partners in many ways. However it is blowhards like you that do more to hurt the cause than to help it. If all you blow hards do is bash this place do you think more CBA minded pilots are going to be applying here, or more BOB's. Think it through a little.
