Thank you! Did you take the cab from JFK? Do you happen to remember about what it cost? I was thinking I might spring for a cab from JFK to the hotel and just take the subway back the next day after all is said and done.

If you get the job you need to change your name. You will learn why in time, it's an internal JetBlue thing, but you will need to change it.

Exactly. Great time to get on with Spirit, VA and JB if you have significant turbine time but no PIC time. Several of my FOs have been applying after 3-4 years in the right seat. Just read about a guy on another board who got hired by Spirit with no PIC time. These airlines want to make sure you stay for the long term - and no PIC time means no movement to the legacies (unless they change their policies too). Makes sense and it is a good opprtunity for those people who want out of the regionals in the near term.

I might be the guy you are talking about, I got hired at Spirit with zero TPIC, however in the group of 12 I was the only one without it. I also know A LOT of guys at UAL (then CAL) that got hired without it. general Lee is 100% that leaving the regional world ASAP is a wise decision You can make great money and have a great career at JetBlue, Spirit, VA(Hopefully they turn around)......and still apply to a legacy if you want.

Thing is, you hear about it when someone with 0TPIC gets hired. Vast majority have that experience, it doesn't call attention.

I took a cab from LGA and it was $30 or so.

Ditto. No disrespect but if you do get hired I will pay the $10 for you change your screen name.

 

[FurloughedAgain]

Sounds like there must be some story behind that!

 

[1678]

Yes, there is a story. Huge Loss for the JB pilot group.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider changing screen name.


RIP.

 

[$$$4nothin]

+1, either that or you have some HUGE shoes to fill.

 

[FurloughedAgain]

My condolences for your loss.

Call Kew Cab car service. Fixed rate $16.50 LGA-JFK and JFK-LGA. (718) 846-6666. Not sure about rates to the different hotels.

 

[FurloughedAgain]

Thanks. I'll give them a try. Appreciate it!

He was a great guy, incredible advocate for our pilot group and a wonderful friend. We all miss him.

FurloughedAgain is a name that needs to be changed? I don't get it, I don't think JetBlue has furloughed any pilots in its history?

Missing the point here. FurloughedAgain was the handle of an outspoken, prolific, and fearsomely articulate pilot advocate who we recently lost, too suddenly and too young. His handle ought to be retired among JB pilots in his honor the same way jersey numbers are retired. There's no more meaning to his handle than that, but it's enough.
