Anyone heard anything about a CAL and UAL merger? If there is any merit, what would that do to a new hire?

New company will be called Unical Airways:laugh:

I thought getting LGB at Jetblue would take a couple of years?

actually looking at the latest awards for dec....new hires seem to be going to LGB now.....also you have a choice which plane to start on....the E190 @ 37/hr or A320 @ 51/hr....with time and a half paid over 70 hours. i am now holding a line after only 2 months on reserve....with overtime and double time holiday pay i have about 105 hours of credit for nov..in the A320 you do the math....

there will be no 5-7 yr FOs here for a lonnnng time.....


good luck on your decision.

I have been at jetBlue now for 10 months and I could have held LGB 2 months ago. I would have held a line every month except DEC. We upped our crews from 50 to 60 in LGB a few months back which helped. I do not think there is a lot of movement in LGB now except the guys that want to upgrade and go to NY. Hope this helps.

Is upgrade still around the 2 and a half year mark?

CAL gets my vote! The equipment is good and the people are great, however working through first year pay is challenging.
