JetBlue and fuel stops

I'd rather be him than an angry BlueBird Bus Driver like you!
Face it little guy, you've got problems over there in BlueBird land.

Aren't you the little crustation from Gulfstream? uke:

I guess so...:laugh:

No arguement from me, there!
But the intent isn't to make more productive pairings, with longer flight times, it's to enable better rest by being back in your domicile's time zone when the flight is over.

That is the biggest bunch of crap ever posted. Too long is too long and I don't care what time it is local. That is the problem with you JBLU guys. You think the world revolves around you. The lack of experience at long haul flying has you thinking that as long as you are sleeping in some dive of a crash pad for 8 hours in Kew that you are resting. If you are tired you sleep in what ever time zone you are in. Going 3 hours to the west coast is nothing. Get over yourselves and realize you are destroying the years of hard work that was put into getting the few limits we have today.

Now go miss a few more radio calls and try to find a place to land for gas. Wonder how much money you guys are blewing on the stops. I bet the pax really like the delays. A friend said the PS service from JFK to the west coast was going out with a ton of revenue standbys. The winds have been nice to UAL in the head to head with JBLU at JFK.

Very well put.

Wow! I not sure how you came to the conclusion that all "JBLU guys" think the world revolves around us, but you are sadly mistaken.

So here we go.

Most of the "JBLU guys" I have talked with would prefer not to do transcon turns. I am not too sure where you come up with the assertion that we have a lack of experience at what you call long haul flying. A good majority of our pilots are on furlough from Delta, United, U.S. Air, TWA/American, Continental, Tower Air, Polar Air, etc, etc, etc. So if we lack in experience I would like to know what your definition of experience is.

I have gone on record before stating that I think Transcon turns are a bad idea, not only from a safety standpoint, but from a physiological stand point as well. Furthermor, I think the current FAR's allow some crazy schedules that are currently legal to fly that should not be. The entire system needs a fresh look and some real data to back up any assertions that one might make in favor of any rule change. Be it from a formal study, ICAO standards or from any other perspective.

Next time before you go off on some dumb internet site making assertion that all "JBLU guys" think the world revolved around them, you might want to take a long hard look in the mirror. Mabe then you might be able to get over yourself.

Cheers!

Yea man. You are a tool!

ahh, skip it...

Guys, isn't it evident that both UC and 32 are idiots. Go to User CP, Misc., Ignore and they go away.

Coming from a guy whose daddy paid for him to fly at Gulf stream, go away little man and play with your toys daddy bought you.

Did someone mention destruction?

Get over yourselves and realize you are destroying the years of hard work that was put into getting the few limits we have today.

Just like the destruction of your retired brothers and sisters retirement plans precipitated by United Brain Surgeons like yourself?

What an ass.

Boeingman,

You want to debate retirement? Then go ahead and start the thread my friend. The retirees had fat b-funds and if they were smart (that is going out on a limb) they could see the writing on the wall. Those that said they did not were living in denial. So the company should fail because some guys are stupid?

Look at the contract. The poor SOB's in the LCC contract are paying for the A-plan that was taken away. Don't you think they should give those guys parity since the A-plan was terminated? Just like Whiteferg and the rest of those clowns you think the world owes you something. Take a note from the JBLU crowd and grow up.

Do you still have insurance in rettirment? Ask a US Air pilot and you will be surprised. I think we should take that away from you guys and give the LCC back their duty rigs.

Now let me grab my violin and play you a tune. The guys I know that have retired and are retiring are quite happy. Are you the guy with 3 ex wives, 6 kids by different mothers, tuition, therapy, alimony, palimony and of course paying your kids lawyers for the crap they have gotten into while you were away? Toss in a few bad investments in get rich quick shemes and poof you are screwed. So you want me to foot the bill for your bad choices. Nice one Charlie. Instead of grinding an axe you should have been raising a family.

If you need cash you should try and find a job at JBLU. I hear they like UAL castoffs. If you own a sled that would make it even better. Get yourself a job as an instructor and you perhaps financial planning expert.

PS I suppose you thought the ESOP stock was going to be worth something also,

So if we lack in experience I would like to know what your definition of experience is.

I agree that the JBLU pilots are experienced. Experienced AND proficient at picking up trash in the cabin.

We need to exploit this proficiency and efficiency. JBLU should immediately fire all of their flight attendants, and have the pilots sling drinks to the trailer park residents riding in back. Those planes have an autopilot. The pilots really aren't DOING anything at cruise. Might as well squeeze a little productivity out of some dead wood.

Maybe we could set up a shoe shine box in the galley too. The pilots could earn some great tip money.

 

[32LT10]

I am not too sure where you come up with the assertion that we have a lack of experience at what you call long haul flying.

I have seen many ads touting the route from FSI directly to JBLU. Are you saying these guys and gals are highly experienced?

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

I have seen many ads touting the route from FSI directly to JBLU. Are you saying these guys and gals are highly experienced?

How many pilots have gone from FSI DIRECTLY to JetBlue?

 

[elag777]

This statement brings the word "Plonker" to mind. I think you will find that FSI is attempting to correlate success stories to their training programs, in other words "you too some day can" blah blah blah
I think you will find it is the same add reprinted too, but if you think it works that way heck lays down the coin and give it a shot. BTW no accommodation included!
