I am currently listening to the conference call and they did say that the ERJ 190 will be flown by jetblue pilots. He said the pay rate will be lower, but said the 190 captain will make more than the A320 First Officer. Didn't say how much and that the salaries were still being defined. I would imagine it would be based on a ratio, 160 seats vs 100 seats (this part is my interpretation).
The important thing is that they are continuing to take orders on the A320 and that this is in addition to the previous A320 orders.
It sounds like new hires will have the opportunity to bid either aircraft based on seniority when the aircraft arrive. Obviously the 320 would be the most logical choice (more pay) but the 190 would offer much quicker upgrades...
I think this is great news. Adds much more cities....
