Jetblue Growth

[linepilot]

It's more than 600 and i am one of them. I am also an OC member, twice yes voter, and a no documents voter.

And I'm out of time. So I don't care.

You organize. Been there, done that, ran out of time watching bluebells fritter away my pay and benefits.

I'll spend the rest of my time helping jetblue and it's lemmings own their screwed up reputation.

Part of that is warning prospective new hires that they are looking at a long and relatively un-prosperous road if they're planning a career at jetblue.

At least we can all agree that we're a "second tier LCC" and NOT the fabulous place to work that we read about in Jetblue Pravda.

Right. Who needs health insurance, competitive retirement, retiree medical, health care on disability, premium pay, sick time, or career protections when you're young and fabulous!

Are you young and fabulous? Cause I'm not. I have a family to protect.

I'm done buying the cash is there for the taking if you're not in a bot. I just flew with a guy who went on and on about his FOs making 150K in the right seat. It's just not true if you don't live in base, or want to whore yourself out to the tune of 19-20 days per month. Newsflash, the 80 percent of us who commute with a wife and kids want to be with our FAMILIES over half the month, not hanging out at "fabulous" blue.

I bid 40-50 percent in the 320 and my typical month is low-80s block with, gasp, low-mid 80s credit with 14-15 days off. There is NOT much soft time in our schedule. I can live on our guarantee pay but we need to stop spreading the fallacy that FLICA is a payraise awaiting at the snap of your fingers.

No, I don't commute, so I have much more time at home all while doing an extra day turn or two, still getting half the month off. We all know that commuting sucks. Don't come here and try to "wag the dog" because you commute and complain you can't pick up extra flying. If one turn, be it just to MCO or a juicy BQN, burned two to three days off, (insert commute) I wouldn't do it either. It is there for the taking.
Wife has a career, kids in school and sports....I wouldn't, move either, but when I fly with a guy that has a $hitty two legger, complains and doesnt have the wife/kid issues, but doesn't want to give up his 20acres with a 4000 sq ft house that he paid 300k for in the midwest, I feel no sympathy.....
