jet blue salary

[capt. megadeth]

#1 NOBODY, I mean nobody is above helping clean an airplane cabin. The cleaners do it, so why can't a pilot help out? Does a pilot not put their pants on just like a cleaning person? Geez. I'd rather do that than have my friggin dry cleaning done, limos to the hotel, etc. and 2 years later be on furlough.

#2 I don't care how much time someone has, there is no reason to act like you are better than someone with less time.

I am not bashing anyone's comments on this thread. I am just speaking from experience. People get somewhere (mostly with a combination of experience, luck and someone they know) and then they act as if they were always in that spot. "oooh, I am not cleaning that", "That's not my job", "oooh, I have to act like a complete jacka$$ because I was born into this jet left seat" WTF?

I don't have a problem with JetBlue except for the fact that they think that right seat RJ time is more valuable than left seat turboprop time.....WTF?

Yaeh, no kidding. I thought PIC time meant something.

Anyway, I will just add it to my "to do list".

AWWW... Have you considered ANGER MANAGEMENT??

It's unfortunate that there is a bright spot in this industry. It must pain you to see pilots who actually enjoy their company and management. Please take your liberal views to another forum and check into whether or not your parents abused you as a child...

If Jet Blue has 9000 aps. on file why are they putting adds on the internet for pilots?

 

[F70pilot]

Where did jetBlue place an add on the internet? I haven't seen it yet but am very interested.

 

[SpeedBird]

Are you sure they weren't "multiplying" for pilots on the internet?
