JetBlue require resign seniority?

[BrokenWing]

My guess is that FalconJet either: a) interviewed with JetBlue and didn't get the "nod;" or b) IS the pilot that he knows that quit JetBlue after 1 month and now wonders if he made the right decision. Bottom line guys, we all (should) have some company loyalty and it seems that you see more of that among JetBlue pilots than from other airlines. If that's such a bad thing then I guess JetBlue is doomed; all these happy employees will surely result in the death of JetBlue - NOT!

JB320,

We seem to have hit the nail on the head regarding FJ; FalconJet has left the building!

There is a furloughed CAL pilot I believe who is accepting recall back at CAL. Apparently he was expecting upgrade and it wasn't going to come as quickly as his finances needed it to, so he needed to go back to the higher paying job at CAL. He approached JB's management with this decision and to their enormous credit, offered him a loan for the difference of Captain pay and FO pay until he upgrades. I must say, that is a classy offer on the part of JB management. I hope to one day work there.

I know its nothing new to be negative about JB but this really sounds like BS.

I'm Back

Sorry guys for the delay in responding, believe it or not I actually got some vacation and wasn't able to check out the boards for a while.

For jb320: Good point, everyone is entitled to their opinion and to put their spin on their comments. I honestly think that the jB guys tend to be be overly sensitive, but that's just my opinion and upon further review will take your comments to heart and just ignore the jb threads if I don't want to read all the hype. I definitely was swayed by comments from some that probably don't even work at jB. You guys just keep on keeping on, I will mind my own business.

BW: Neither case is true. I didn't apply to jB prior to 9-11 because I didn't consider them a first tier choice for ME. I did apply after 9-11 but after interviewing at two carrier's that were in the first tier choice for me, I didn't follow up on my jB app or submit any updates. I am currently employed by one of those majors and in the pool at the other (and still trying to decide which is the 'most' right for me).

I am not the individual who left after a month, but I have known that person for over 25 years and flown with him over several tours of duty. He now works for a major package moving concern located in the deep mid south.

jB would not have worked for me personally for many reasons, geography being the most important by far. I'm sure it is a fine company. I wish them and all their employees the best, and just hope that in time the skin will continue to thicken so that when they do start to pay for their aircraft we can all sit around and joke about the good old days of free airplanes and jet fuel!

Again, sorry for the delay in responding and perhaps in beating a horse that most hoped (myself included) was dead.

Congrats to all the folks getting calls for class dates and interviews. Best of luck to each and every one.

FJ
