General Lee said:The Jetblue guys (management) don't want to hire extra people to be that third pilot. They want to stretch the rules and safety in general to get what they want. Some Jetblue people want the change too, hoping to rely on their A320 autopilots and the great blue coffee served from the young stews. Hopefully the weather will always be great on return to NY. Maybe I am not the $6 million bionic man like most of the Jetblue pilots----I am tired after one 5 1/2 hour leg to LAX from JFK. Maybe, oh maybe, flying to LGB is the Key---less stress than LAX......
Bye Bye--General Lee
General-
I'm still 50/50 on the transcon turns, but, what about this scenario? I just finished a trip which had us fly form IAD to OAK early in the AM. Once in OAK we get 12 hours rest and do a red-eye back to IAD. Now, I felt that I would be in better shape if this was just a turn. I was wide awake during the day but fighting to stay awake during the red-eye. What's safer? I don't have the answer.
