JetBlue: Below average and it's going to stay that way.

[Beechnut]

The Company is expected to renege on their agreed upon process to keep JetBlue pilots paid at an average industry rate. That's twice in three years the Company decided to ignore their own comitments. A320 payrates are now 2.2% below average of what other pilots are making doing the same work.

Nevermind the already substandard Medical, Retirement, Vacation and Sick time policies.

All this on the heels of a profitble year and RECORD 4 QT EARNINGS.

Enjoy your Direct Relationship suckers.

Integrity: Not convenient, so go F**k yourself.

But we get new shirts! Big F$%king Deal..............

In all fairness we should wait until the announcement on Monday but regardless of what they say or decided to do/not do we are not 2.2% behind. We are, in fact, much further behind that.

so quit... flyings boring and you don't get paid enough for the responsibilities and time away staying sober...

I'll wait till Monday before I start badmouthing.

Whether we get it or not changes nothing, though. We still need a CBA.

What is the data source for the benchmarking?

 

[Lake Alice]

Several. From MIT, JetBlue internal, Delta, ALPA.

There is no shortage of information.

So where do you benchmark?

 

[Lake Alice]

Below what is considered industry standard. A minimum of 2% for all seats in pay. A minimum of 8% for retirement. Sick and vacation are a minimum of 7 days per year and dont allow for year over year acrual. LOL/STD/LTD is based of what we pay versus what we receive comparitavely substantialy lacking in overall coverage.
The above doesn't touch contractual protections.

But compared to your 'bench marking data' wherein does JetBlue stack?

That is the meaningful data.
