Jet Blue Application

I still don't get it. You pay $740 a month for health insurance. Your company picks up the other 50% +, not to mention a portion of your social security and workmans comp. insurance. You have no problem paying your own auto insurance and mortgage insurance. Why is the employer responsible for any of it? I guess instead of benifits they should call them entitlements. People complain about a $740 a month for health insurance but have no problem paying 400-500 dollars a month for a car payment. What's more important?

A very poor place to work, especially with people like this telling you $740 out of pocket per month is a "deal". Go somewhere else to work, your family will thank you later.

B6 cares about B6, and nothing else, you the pilot included.

Umm, because health insurance is part of my benefit package. I don't expect my company to pay my car insurance etc, but asking me to pay more then any of my peers in the industry is a problem. I'm single and pay 200 bucks a month, twice what I paid at a regional and the same a ramp agent pays. I like this place a lot, but our retirement and medical are sub par.

Wait, are you actually rationalizing the high cost of health insurance at JB?? Sad, very sad. Good luck getting things changed for the better with that attitude!!

What do you not get? You're comparing apples and oranges. I agree with you.....health insurance is clearly more important and is non-negotiable. You have to have it. Therefore, you're trapped. You must get it (especially if you have a family). The premiums and associated costs just go up and up far beyond the rate of inflation and any pay increases.

You can CHOOSE whether or not to buy a car or what type of transportation to utilize. If you need that, you have a choice of how cheap or expensive you want to go. You certainly don't need to make a $500 monthly payments to have reliable transportation. Health insurance on the other hand does not have many options. Yes, you can choose not to have it or choose a completely inferior plan that would not sufficiently cover your family, but that's not smart.

And yes, $740 / month is relatively very high compared to other similar employers in this industry. The insurance at my previous regional airline was much better. In this industry and in most American company benefit plans, it would NOT be considered an entitilement. It's a competitive advantage employees should expect to be offered. Yes, I know, they don't have to, it's a capitalistic society, etc., etc., etc. The bottom line is that B6's employees are being taken advantage of in comparison to those at other airlines.

Jetblue pilots are stupid. Anyone applying should go elsewhere, if you come to B6, you will be told you're lucky to have a job and shut up and color. Dumb coming here, and too stupid to see you're being taken advantage of, are no ways to go through life.

Find a better employer if you're appolying here.

Then leave dip$hit. Go get a real job and then come back and tell me how it is.

You are pathetic and don't know how good you've got it. All of you. Try working in the real world sometime.

What are you, a Jr captain pissed at the world? Sr fo?

Piss off.

So everyone keeps complaining about paying $740 a month for insurance. This is exactly what it is called insurance. So here is an idea. Get the cheapest insurance JB offers just to cover getting hit by a bus etc... I believe I pay $74 a month. Pilot+1. Then take the other $660ish and self insure yourself. Sure you are going to have a $7000 deductable, but after less than a year you come out on top. Seems like a pretty easy concept to me. Better yet, tell your wife to get her a$$ up and get a job with good health coverage. Use her coverage. Problem solved.

Or just stop complaining about the same 2 things over and over again.
