JetBlue Call

[johnny taliban]

Hoping for others to quit just to increase your negotiating leverage ain't the best strategy. A more effective tactic would have been to not accept the position in the first place (assuming you KNEW the pay scale in advance)

good luck

yes I did...and you are right. But it's a much better gig than where I was at.

 

[Longhorn]

Hey headfake...stop causing trouble......

J/K. How have you been?

 

[Headfake14]

ha...always gotta cause some trouble. I'm good man. You?

The recruiters really want to see Jet PIC time. TP PIC ok, but they really want the jet pic. They are getting lots of applicants with a great deal of Jet SIC time which qualifies them to interview, but they put a great deal of weight on Jet PIC time. How much I dont know the magic #, but of course the more the better.

You woud think they would struggle to get pilots with jet PIC now that all the legacies are hiring.

To some degree, we are. Rumor is now status pay is on the way.

What does "status pay" mean?

One pay rate for the FO's & Captains, not aircraft specific.

Yeah, only if the A320 rates come down to meet the E190 rates.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Cheers!
