Jetblue CEO says its considering 787/A350 for Latin America

[Lake Alice]

Sigh...

 

[linepilot]

So to recap:

Jetblue will be outsourcing ALL widebody flying.
Health benefit will continue to be the WORST in the industry with a $2500 deductible and $6500 out of pocket for families.
No retirement workaround as promised and therefore the WORST retirement in the industry.
The SLOWEST upgrade in the industry with no growth in sight.
The LEAST flexible work rules in the industry.
Pay caps at 78 hours to avoid the premium pay they love to tout in interviews.
And ZERO increase to the pilot budget until the second CBA is finally signed in 2022.

So if you want a place to beef up your resume for Delta and FEDEX come on over but it really isn't as "friendly" as they try to convince you of in your interview and INDOC. This place gets nastier by the day.

See you on the line little no voters.

...I don't have the patience or inclination to further break this down for you.

I'll break down your argument:

Management wouldn't EVER let the bottom 50% go because that would just be... well... MEAN. And... my management team isn't mean! They are NICE. They wouldn't ever sell me out! I KNOW it isn't in writing, but I TRUST THEM!


Does that about cover it?

This smells like a pre-negotiation carrot. Negotiation 101.

Now, do I think JB could use some A350s/787s on flights to Central and South America out of JFK and maybe even FLL? Absolutely. But the industry merger/consolidation phase has not played out - so, they won't do anything until they know they are in the clear and less likely to merge. At least that's my theory...

Step 1 Read the above again
Step 2 see step 1

This is reality at JetBlue ladies and germs.

Not to mention the new Personality Tracking System, Personality Training, and metro-sexual grooming policy.

What a bunch of BS.

This place doesn't hire pilots. All they want is flight attendants who know how to fly.

Why, because you can't wear a Goatee anymore?

No, because every airline pilot wants to dress like a flight attendant, have his personality scores tracked for fabulousness, and attend a 3 day charm school for 4 hours of pay per day.

And soon, we'll be answering for our personality scores, along with the new "reliability" standards, this place is going to get REAL fun.

What happened to the company line that none of this heavy handed management would come down on us if we voted for the DR.

I think we've finally distilled the anti-union argument down to: I'm just happy to have a job.

For the love of Pete.....,

It's very difficult to have an intelligent discussion with an idiot, so I'm not going to bother trying.

Do me a favor: learn to read and comprehend the English language somewhere above the second grade level, then go back and read my post again before you try to respond. It might help you understand what I was actually saying. Until then, I have far better things to do with my time other than debating on the Internet with an idiot.

You addressed EVERYTHING I didn't ask you about. I specifically underlined the part of your post about dressing like a flight attendant. Why do you say that?
