JetBlue comes to Newark

[lowecur]

Take a look at B6 E-190 payrates and you can see where they get low CASMs.

What a silly remark.

What a silly remark.

It is an unfortunate accurate remark. But, GEICO pays their salesmen the same, so you don't really care. There are other savings B6 has that the legacies do not, like younger aircraft, lower paid employees on average due to less longevity(like our average stew being a 30 year plus----making top payscale), and picking up cheap gate space when able (B6 and Southwest took DL's old gates at BOS and SEA respectively) after the legacies build or move into newer facilities. Hey, that's good business---I know. We at the legacies will have to change (lower pay unfortunately) to compete.

Bye Bye----General Lee

 

[B6Busdriver]

Song will be moving those 757s to BOS to be the only LCC to fly from BOS to LAX and SFO (not LGB and OAK).



Bye Bye--General Lee

You always have one up on us don't you General?

 

[General Lee]

You always have one up on us don't you General?

Yeah, we're just going to lay back and let you come in and do whatever. You guys do ROCK! Rock on brother!


Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[BLUE BAYOU]

B6 has won BOS? What? We have a new terminal there and you got stuck with the old stuff. We fly more flights to more places. But, you have decided that B6 won. Ok........?


Bye Bye--General Lee

What did the new facility cost at BOS for DL, something like $15 million per gate? B6 paid about $10 million for about 10-11 gates-- do the math, it's nice to have new digs, but in times of $1billion+ loss per quarter, one must be frugal, don't you think? Additionally, Song flying against CO at EWR didn't make sense, you guys are Code-share partners aren't you? I think that move was a good one for both DL and CO.

 

[SlapShot]

Is JetBlue going to treat all three New York area airports as one base like American (and I think) United do?

 

[scarlet]

HEY lets start an airline and pay everyone half of what everyone else is making and let the employees feel good about doing the same job for 1/2 the money...

And the funny thing is those employees are acting like they have it the best,,,,cleaning up sh*t in the toilet, cleaning gum off the floor and then serving the public drinks....THAT is ok I will bring my own. and the attendants have a 5 year contract and then you are gone...NOT a CAREER just a job...really good for the american people...

and Brag about AIRBUS----Euro says thanks Jetblue

Americans are out of jobs and Boeing keeps cutting people...ummh but you want americans to fly on you....uummhhh I think the American people one day I hope gets tired of this, and says no more!!!!!!!!

And the EWR thing- I worked at Continental for 9 years--there are a sh*t load of delays on clear days...B6 thought ATL delays were bad--just wait ..those 2 runways....and all that traffic....GOOD LUCK...NOT

It is an unfortunate accurate remark. As Kidrock says, Back it up! But, GEICO pays their salesmen the same, so you don't really care. Actually, I don't work for Geico, my money is commission based. You see, no tickee no laundree! There are other savings B6 has that the legacies do not, like younger aircraft, lower paid employees on average due to less longevity(like our average stew being a 30 year plus----making top payscale) yeah, so fire them...they aren't union....remember? , and picking up cheap gate space when able (B6 and Southwest took DL's old gates at BOS and SEA respectively) after the legacies build or move into newer facilities. I guess those new facilities at Orlando & JFK are free, huh? Hey, that's good business---I know. We at the legacies will have to change (lower pay unfortunately) to compete.

Bye Bye----General Lee

Silly remark. Will you go to work for RJET when they take over Song?

 

[SpeedBird]

Scarlet, you are one ignorant dumb%&$....you'll fit in just fine on this message board, which has turned into nothing more than a cyber version of a stall in the men's room.

 

[Yank McCobb]

....you'll fit in just fine on this message board, which has turned into nothing more than a cyber version of a stall in the men's room.

Here I sit all broken hearted
Tried to sh!t but only farted.

 

[B6Driver]

"Is JetBlue going to treat all three New York area airports as one base like American (and I think) United do?"

NO!
The flights will be flown by the other existing bases while flying through EWR.

 

[B6Driver]

If some other carrier started service at EWR, would the comments be as nasty? I think not. Just remember that now CAL pilots and F/A's have 16 more flights to commute back and forth to work from FLA.
Welcome aboard.........................

 

[IB6 UB9]

Scarlet...would you mind posting your salary for the crowd. And your working conditions. And your future in this industry. Thanks...I just want something to look forward to. Idiot.

 

[COpilot]

B6 driver,

Thank you very much for the rides, I just talked to one of ours in FLL, and she was very happy to have another CASS cockpit.

However, corporate war, is war in these days of Chap.11 bombs... Lol!

COincidence?
