JetBlue to Hire in 2009:

[kwick]

RJ job.

Just like Eagle or Comair should be on majors board.

 

[ultrarunner]

Is JetBlue still offering LOA's?? Is the 'rumored' hiring in response to folks walking?

Spirit got their last lifeline when they dumped their hedge position for 23 million. Of course they inserted it into their accounting figures to make it look like they are operationally steller but the reality is that they are on the ropes and indigo Partners is not a poster child of stability.

After Spirit filed a lawsuit to pull our Bogota slots Jetblue decided they needed to be slapped around a little.

Standby for an additional 40-50 crews in FLL and growth into all of Spirits solid markets in the next 12 to 24 months.

Jetblue has seen a near 1 billion dollar increase this year in revenue. 600 million in debt was retired and we are well positioned to grow into latin, central and south america.

JB wants nothing to do with NK except market share

You seem to know an awful lot about our postion. Care to elaborate?

Very true... especially about privately held companies that very few people know the real details on the financials

The numbers are there both public and private you just have to know where to look.

Or i could just be throwing darts with a blindfold on..?

 

[flyboycmsu]

You really think those required DOT numbers are indicative of the real financial situation?
Approach with skepticism my friend, both on profit and loss...

 

[critterair2]

Keep in mind those fuel hedge sales, were third qtr. not second. Also JB Pax and NK pax, two different breeds. But they all pay green.

That beats unemployment paychecks of $340 a week.....

 

[BeachBummer]

yea, Thats the number that I herd. I'm guessing that these are the people that were offered a job last spring and got the door shut on them. They may hire more than the 12, but alot will depend upon how the union vote turns out.... have to wait and see.

 

[lookin4better]

When does the voting stop and results published? Will the union exist immiediatly after a majoity yes vote? Best of luck, I think the JBPA has a good idea and not a " pilots vs. the company " attitude and more of a team attitude similar to SWPA. Hope it all works out.

Voting ends on February 3. If at least 50% + 1 cast votes for representation, then whichever union gains the majority of votes cast is immediately in effect.

Thanks

Good luck!

They (JB) give me a job offer right now for a pilots position and I'll wear "blue man group" paint on my face and hands while passing out blue chips in the airport for them @ my pay rate......

I'm not too proud ( or stuck on myself) to have some fun with people. I hope you can over yourself one day. :bawling:
