Jetblue Bases

[Jiminmem]

The latest news is no MCO base or any new base this year. I don't know if that will change or not, but for now I wouldn't count on it. Figure JFK initially and most likely any other base but LGB within 6 months, maybes less.

Give it one more try and I think you just might correctly spell "meant".

The junior pilot in LGB is about 380 numbers senior to the junior pilot in the company.

LGB a year? Maybe. Depends on if anyone decides to leave LGB either in a transfer/upgrade or resignation.

I would say at least a year.

I got to LGB 6 months after hire and I have been on reserve for the past 12 months.
Reserve sucks here, it seems as if the schedulers forget about the other coast and I routinely get the "Oh,my God, How fast can you get to the airport??????".
We do have a super Chief pilot though, so that makes life a bit easier.

So did you commute for the first 6 months? If so how was that? Do you still get paid if youre on reserve?

I did the transcon commute - LGB-JFK. It got old very fast.
Reserves get a 75 hour guarantee. Line holders get 70 hours.

Are there alot of options for crash pads out in JFK? How many days off did you get at home when you first started?

 

[Whiskerbizkit]

Min days off is 12
