jet blue salary

Tony--I replied to your post because it was one of the more cogent thoughts on the board. As both of us have seen, chastizing a board member because of his/her "poor attitude" rarely leads anywhere except toward more inflammatory remarks, taunting, passing gas in the opponent's general direction, and assorted tawdriness. Thus, I took the high road with my comments to you and the rest of the folks reading the board.

To answer the other question as to whether helping to clean the aircraft is required, no, it is not. Is it expected? Yeah, probably by now it is, most of our FAs are used to the pilots helping out. It is a rarity for a flight crew not to help out in back in one way or another.

By the way, we do indeed have cleaners at JFK for those aircraft returning from redeyes. They are a welcome sight through these sometimes bloodshot peepers of mine at oh-dark thirty.

All I really want from my little contribution is a "thank you" from the FAs, but alas...those comments seem to be coming fewer and further apart. Perhaps we all simply need to be reminded that as a small airline, we (the crewmembers) are certainly in it together.

But I'd still like to hear a "thanks" now and again!

"but it does bother me that as a Captain you're expected to clean up."

Yes, only the lowly F/O's should be doing that, we CAPTAINS are way above that.

Must be fun flying with you, CAPTAIN MERLIN!

I do contribute to the success of my present employer in ways that benefit my Co., my collegues, my-self, and my profession. I exersize good judgement, maintain schedule integrity, develop improved procedures for optimizing performance, I operate my A/C efficiently, occasionally, I too go above and beyond the call of duty as a line pilot.

And there you go.

Folks do not misrepresent me. I do not question you'r work ethics or required practices. What you allow you'r employer to demand from you, is you'r business... I question the ATTITUDE that some JB pilots have. By the way, I do have a legitimate question. Why did JB obtain a 105 seat (rj) versus tha AB 318. It sounds to me like you'r futures are being planned as we speak... The only thing that the RJ has managed to do is recycle the pay-scale. Now don't tell me that JB will deploy these things to under-served markets, CUZZ I will tell you.....It's a piss poor exuse to de-value the price tag on a pilot...

"Folks do not misrepresent me." You seem to be doing a good job yourself, BOY

To answer your other question concerning the A-318. The EMB-190 was a better deal, both in price and in efficiency. Obviously, being launch customer, we get a very good price on it. I have heard, that the cost of one A-318 equals two EMB-190s. The A-318 is a "heavy" airplane and as such burns more fuel. The EMB-190 seats as many people, but burns less gas. Plus, the EMB-190 has no middle seat, it is 2+2, from what I hear, from the ones who has been on the 170, it is a very comfortable airplane.

jetblue intends to deploy it into markets, that are too small for the A-320. It is not intended to replace the A-320, as you may have noticed, jetblue continues to take deliveries of Airbi and have recently increased our orders.

So, an Airbus 318 is not an RJ, but an EMB-190 is? Interesting conclusion. I guess because the 318 has poor economics, it has to be considered a mainlline jet (to fit the business model).

What... Is Embraer paying you guys for flying the 190?..... AirBus already gives you guys free airplanes!#@^!#
