JetBlue no longer to honor pay review process.

[Blue Dude]

So... we have to ask ourselves, why would management no longer care about trying to hire/retain pilots going into the future?

Obvious answer: they don't expect to need pilots anymore because of a pending merger. That's possible, but even likelier is:

Not-so-obvious answer: they know they've already hired all the captains they need for at least 10-15 years, so they only have to attract seat warmer FO's for a long time. As long as the pay is better than Mesa, that's good enough for seat warmers and bean counters both.

Also they are in the process of changing STD/LTD/LOL for the worse. Further announcements are upcoming.

The degradation continues

Dude really? What's really funny is that coming from 9e you should know better. Second, who would want to work at a stagnet airline? Seriously you need to stop spraying blue juice through your corn hole because your out of touch my man.

True, but if I was at a bankrupt Pinnacle today, I'd take JetBlue in a heartbeat.

In the last PVC email, JetBlue has told the PVC they will no longer provide annual raises to our base pay based on industry average of the peer set.

Not acceptable.

So if not based on the industry average of the peer set, then what _________________? (method)

"Welll seee Delta flies the same aircraft as us, but they also fly bigger ones and fly overseas. So we wont count their payscales. And Southwest is too big for us to count as a peer, so we wont count them. We will only use Spirit, Allegiant, and Virgin America as peers."

Coming from a regional pilot who wants to work for allegiant? Now that's funny.

Coming from a "major" airline pilot who flies regional routes in an E190. Enjoying that? WOW - you formerly flew the ERJ and you made it to the "big time" in your huge E190. You could have gone to Delta or Fedex or SWA, but you chose JB. You won the lotto! Good for you!

BTW, how do you like your Wal-Mart, low-cost health insurance?

I asked a question about Allegiant - not the same as applying for the job. DUMBa$$.

Smartjuice left 9e b4 the bankruptcy... He chose JetBlue.

Smartjuice left 9e b4 the bankruptcy... He chose JetBlue.

And I would do it 100 times over again... maybe more.

The routes I fly are a mix of regional routes and routes more traditional to A320-717-737-dc9. Is that what you think defines a job? The kind of route or airplane I fly? I can tell you this is 3 times the job I had at my regional, and if the airplane bothered me that much, I can bid they're A320/321 someday. By the way, I am in no hurry to do that, if your little brain can understand that.

As for allegiant, the questions you were asking show that you want to work their, or are writing a report for airline class. If I had time waste, I would quote you. Either way, I get paid more to fly my "RJ " than allegiant, spirit, virgin.... how is allegiant retirement by the way?

Total Rewards.

Look it up.

Total rewards is recognition that pay in itself is not the sole motivator.

It acknowledges that it is both the tangible and intangible aspects of the work experience that contribute to the employees’ sense of engagement and choices in their careers.

 

[Redtailer]

Seems like pretty simple math. For the last decade salaries have either gone down or sideways for the most part. Well, the new contracts are now going up. So is it really a surprise that they no longer want to use the average?

Remember, you don't get what you deserve you get what you negotiate.

Instead of $$$$money, jetBlue thinks that your pay in also made up of

-Culture
-New shiny jets
-A "no furlough policy"
-A moat
-Industry leading PEA
-Blue chips
-An open door policy (but don't go over my helmet!)
-...fast upgrades
-organic growth(wide bodies don't fit at T5)
-anual pay reviews
-2 FSM's
-great Health care
-LOL, LTD, STD that doesn't quit... sort of
-8% retirment contribution... (as long as you don't want profit sharing, but if you take a 5% pay cut, they'll give you 5% more for a total of 13%)
-They hired me with no PIC (not me, but they do do this)
-It's so much better than my regional carrier... (well, duh...)
-No union dues, we have a PVC for free.
-Highest paid E-190 drivers in the world.
-Premium pay (have you seen that 150% over 78hrs) There's a value to that, that they're workin on.
-A pat on the back and company wide recognition for... doing your job. yes a high five is worth somethin.
-CULTURE! ... have we seen this before?
-I'm sure there's more reasons to not get paid$$$$ at jetBlue, but I've had afew beers and it's time for bed.
