JetBlue's system bid

[pilotpayne]

1981 is now the most junior Captain. 1981 is about 3 years senior.

FLL and LGB went to the most junior 320 pilots on the list. They are actually still listed as being on IOE. So other than MCO it looks like a new hire can have any base they want during the first bid cycle if they are not lucky enough to hold it right out of class. Airplane dependent of course.

One thing is for sure with the planes coming and some guys leaving there is major movement.

Ya three unfilled LGB 320 vacancies on the A320.

Upgrade at about 3 years, maybe a bit more.

Long Beach Captain however,..........not so much

This is totally a conflict of interest! Regional or major? I would rather save my money for concessions?

So using your "logic".........

Again, you are comparing apples to oranges here. Pursuing a CBA at a major airline is very different than pursuing a CBA at a regional. By the way, no one is stopping you from starting an In House drive. Be careful though. When using emotions to make business decisions, the outcome can be less than desirable.

Spirit went on strike for ALPA in order to sign a concessionary contract. Plus we were sent back to work without a vote or even seeing the TA for nearly 3 weeks, while ALPA had propaganda roadshows that forced many to vote yes. ALPA is not the answer, in house could work well for Blue. Good luck!

Spirit's 2010 pilot contract was a concessionary contract?

Here is my math ALPO is not worth 1.9 %of my yearly income!

Yet you lose more than 1.9% in pay and benefits by not having ALPA.

Just got a 21% raise? How is that?

Hyperboy:

Just please stop it with your nonsense. You have no f-ng idea what is going on at bluejet and you just sound like a stupid fool.

Seriously, just stop.
