Heard this today, and wondered if somebody at Jet Blue could confirm/deny/illuminate the following:
It was said that pilots at Jet Blue are on 5 year contracts that can be renewed or not at the company's discretion. If they don't want to renew it, it's their option not to, no explanation/reason/justification required. Someone whose contract isn't renewed isn't being "fired," he simply has "completed his contract" and that's that.
Is this accurate? The guy who told me about it had gotten it 2nd or 3rd hand, so he wasn't certain about the details. Clear implications in terms of job security & so forth, obviously, if true.
Not trying to start a rumor here, but just to get the real word.
Thanks in advance,
Snoopy
