Good news for those holding out for the 320. Oct 25th class of 10. Got the call from Bernice and am in for the 10/25 class! She said no news yet for Nov or Dec 320 classes. Hope to see a few of you in MCO in Oct.

We just about got down to page 20. It's good to see us back up here. Has anyone heard anything about 10/11 190 classes?? Also for those of you in MCO what was the size of the 9/13 class and today's 9/27 class?
 
Honda,

Flylears is already here in MCO in E190s. LaHayatt is in 320s. We did have one local (Florida) guy that got called for 320's the night before class started (someone dropped out for medical problems).

No word on class sizes past the one that starts today. Verna may be in town today. I'll pass on any news I (over)hear.

Grommet
 
Woops! Thanks for the update, Grom. How's the weather in FL?

The weather is great, Honda. I hope you get some of this sunshine soon.

Verna was here tonight at the new class welcome, but she had no new info on upcoming classes. The official forecast is steady hiring for next year.
 
What's the latest from you guys in da pool? Just curious what you are hearing for 190 and 320 classes. How many guys are left swimming? Thanks.
 
I got an email form my lifeguard a few days ago that said no more 320 classes until january and several 190 classes on nov-dec-jan. 58 in the pool. that came from the private jb site and it can change fast.

I also talked to bernice a couple days ago and she said she still did not have the nov class sched. so she did not know if they would have 320 classes in nov or dec or how big the 190/320? classes would be.
 
Thanks Snowbum, I have an interview coming up and was wondering what the timeframe would be for a class if I am hired. Guessing January for 190 and maybe March-April for Bus?

He will learn to hate it there also....

I guess I'm just too naive to understand it, but I can't see how someone could hate working for this company. I understand the pay isn't all the greatest, but no other company (even outside of this profession) has treated me with so much respect and care. You my friend, must be a hard person to please.
 
There are SIX in the EMB190 Oct 11 class. Another class starting Oct 25th (190 & 320) of 24 I believe.

Cheers
 
My bud who is in the mid-1000's of the seniority list (A320 FO) said he moved up 13 numbers this month.

With growth projected to continue slowing on both airframes in 2007 it will be interesting to see if the 190 can still attract 6000 hr CRJ captain applicants.

If growth on both frames does in fact slow then the two year aircraft lock will turn into a minimum (not maximum) time they will have to remain on the 190 pay scales.

Offering someone who is making 80-100K a year the chance to work with jetBlue and only bring home 1K every 2 weeks for a minimum of two years will be hard to sell. From what my bud tells me the lines really suck on the 190 and if growth slows that usually doesn't help.

The 190 rates better come up and fast.

Good luck, sincerely.

Thanks. I'm just trying to figure out how man numbers I gave up to wait for the 320. :) Only six is good news. I won't kick myself so hard now.
 
Lines are getting better on the 190. The BOS base opens NOV 1st and that helped the overall productivity in both bases. It looks like the average is around 14days off with some at 12 days off and other at 16+. THe average credit looked like around 85 hours. Me, I am at 14 days off, 91 hours and the week of thanksgiving off. I was very suprised at the line and think I got lucky but I cant complain about my schedule next month...now ask me in JAN and it may be a different story.
 
Anybody wanna start listing ages for the October 25 320 class? Trying to figure out where we stand. Looking to get FLL out of training. Things are moving fast!

Hey Honda, I think you and I are the only two losers in the class next week that waste our time on this board. If I had any sense in me I would spend my time doing other stuff rather than sifting through the junk on this site. Anyways, I was hoping for LGB but I've figured out that it can be a very looonnnggg time before you hold a line there. The JFK commute shouldn't be bad for me so I'm gonna try that out for awhile before I make any moves. FYI I'm 30 and just had to start wearing glasses to read. I feel like I'm old as dirt now!
 
Welcome aboard all. I've been here since April. Still on reserve for another 1-3 months. I really like it here so far. I'm on the bus and it's a great plane. I here the 190 is great to fly also. I think following a brief slowdown in expansion (not a halt, just a slowdown) you'll see the company take off even more and do just fine. Again, welcome.
 
I was hired in March and when I was in JFK I averaged 15 days off (with releases) and about 45 hours a month. I am now in FLL and I get around 13 days off and 20-30 hours a month.
 
Hey guys we just finished GS and start OE next week it is a long 6 weeks going through the program no matter which aircraft you are on, they are supposebly reramping the 320 program though. Everyone in the training dept though are great people.
 
Hey there everyone. Didn't get FLL on the first try. Hopefully we'll get it for February. How's everyone's schedule so far?
 
Hey Honda, good to know your still in. I think you were waiting for the bus, I'm on the 190. For what is worth, I finished IOE at the end of October, held a line in BOS for November (including Thanksgiving off), and have a 15 day off line for December. I used some pto to drop two trips and now have a 21 day off line, 86 hours of credit, and I'm off from the 20th-27th, and New Years eve. I picked up and moved the family to live in base. Life is good here, but you know the drill: your mileage may vary, not all users will achieve advertised results, objects in mirror are closer than they appear, etc.... Good luck with FLL.
