Thought folks might enjoy knowing Lanny McAndrew sent me a VERY nice letter at home today thanking me for all I've done to support JetBlue as a pilot, and that although we only meet "passing in the halls" these days he appreciates all the support I've given JetBlue as well as all the support from my family.
I've gotta say I was quite touched--it was a very nice gesture. Especially since I decided to go to a 14 Jan FedEx class instead of a 7 Jan JetBlue class. Unless he's walking the halls of the Memphis AOC or watching me preflight a 727 in the pouring rain at 0420, I don't think we've spent much "quality time" together. However...I started thinking about how much I've meant to old Lanny and I'm asking my JetBlue buddies to go let him know he owes me for all those training days as well as my time on the line in March! (I still haven't gotten ONE JetBlue paycheck...I'm sure its a complete oversight--Jeff G, Eagleflip....little help here?). For what its worth...at least the chief pilot is reaching out with a positive word to his pilots--that's got to be worth something.
For those of you wanting to join JetBlue...his letter mentioned 3 more classes of 24 each in the immediate future and a planned pilot force of 450 by year end. His words were "you're not too late". So--if you haven't applied I'd say you are making a mistake. If JB ain't your cup of tea, check the FedEx threads...there is some good news there, too.
Fly safe--Albie
