JetBlue gouge for SPV or LOE

[Smarta$$]

Can someone give a quick rundown on things a new hire might want to know, such as min days off for lineholders and reserves, how long on reserve in JFK or BOS, is there a no penalty commuter clause, vacation entitlement, 401k match (for the first several years), or anything else you think would be important to consider.

Also, is there a built-in cost of living increase to the payrates on APC? In other words, will E190 second year pay be frozen at $62 (as an example) until the company decides to reevaluate the rates in the future (potentially years from now)?

Do you think they will increase service to the Midwest as they take more deliveries?

JFK/BOS RES - Years based upon 6-8 aircraft per year
Commuter - not yet but coming
Vacation - 2 weeks unless you used your PTO for sanity purposes while commuting to JFK 1 to 2 time a week for the next 2 - 3 years.

Cooperate... study... graduate. B6 training was the best and least complicated I have ever been through. Sam has to be one of the best employees I have met at an airline in any function, PERIOD.

Welcome aboard take some advice: The sooner you stop comparing your crap rj job to this one and realize that jb pilots have been taking it in the shorts while bringing in billions of revenue and seeing nothing in return the better off you will be.

Support your future if we make it or help save your job in we dont by sending in your card.

While ten times better than your last job dont forget your in the big leagues now

If anyone has this gouge could you please PM me.

I'm going to go against the grain and lay out the honest truth: if you really need the gouge to get through recurrent training... you really need recurrent training. It's supposed to be challenging and make you stretch some. If you know everything ahead of time, you're missing the point. It's already a no-jeopardy event. What else do you want?

So what is the penalty for not making a commute(s) to work? I would expect to lose pay, but is your job in jeopardy?

Thank you for the information Splert.

Lots of things are wrong here. Commuting, not so much of an issue. I've had one time in 5 years where I just couldn't make it in. (IROP, everything went down the tubes). I called in honest, received an OOP, told the ACP about it, and never heard anything else. Never felt like my job was in jeopardy.

Thanks, good to hear.

Would you guys characterize JetBlue schedules (thinking forward several years) as efficient (high time, high days off)?

Is the business model (what you may know of it) to grow beyond the orders they have through 2016?

Do reserves fly much? Does JetBlue use airport reserve? If so, how long is it and does it have a pay credit? Do reserves break guarantee ever/often?

Sorry for all the questions, just want to make informed decisions.

OUTSTANDING advice! Thumbs up, Blue Dude.

We have very efficient schedules - but not for the bottom of the list. There we at least have rigs that mean at least 1 duty period is paid at 5 hours and 2 at 10 hours and 3 at 15 hours and 4 at 20 hours a trip rig atr 1 for 3.5 TAFB.

Reserves fly lots during the peak months and flying more and more in the off peak.

Novemember and December and some Summer months you probably will break guarantee and if you live in base you have other opportunities.

Airport reserve - yes but rarely used and we need to get you a hotel.
