Nov 3 JB Newhire class

[kellwolf]

I have news for you, it sucks everywhere.

No kidding. The harsh reserve at B6 would make me cry tears of joy compared to my current reserve predicament of the past 3 years......

 

[Ski-N-Fly]

There are only 15 reserve lines on the 190 in JFK for NOV..... according to that FACT.. there will be guys finishing IOE from the Sept. 8 class holding a line out of training...

The fact is that we have been short staffed for quite some time now. Please don't expect to hold a line out of training. There will be more reserves because we need more reserves. This summer, the company put out RSA's on a daily basis for just about every seat in every base. RSA's continue to come out each week for this month, but not nearly as much as the summer.

There's really no way to accurately predict how long one will sit on reserve. Things change on a daily basis. It is an airline after all. For some, reserve here may be better than plenty of other places, but we definitely need improvements in our current reserve system. The new FSM made it worse. Not trying to paint an ugly picture by any means. I think we have a great airline here......but there is much room for improvement! And we are working on it as I write. Regardless, welcome aboard! It's great to see some movement here. Hopefully the hiring and upgrading will continue.

That's not really news to me but thanks! I'd take the Sourthwest model for reserves over the mismanagement of the reserves at B6 any day!

P.S. I don't need to hear from the if you don't like it leave crowd! I would just prefer to see management improve the reserve system so that it's a little more equitable for those on reserve.

Don't worry legally binding representatives will do more to fix Jetblue reserve than 11 years of 'Do the Right Thing", "Values" and the "Pilot Valueless Committee" has done.

That is of course the FAA and whenever they implement the new rest rules. The shame is that even at the FAA Safety is the #1 value after cost.

It's that awesome: 11 years of the direct relationship and we only have to wait 3 more year for the FAA.

It is no wonder the brainfarts at DPA are not trying to implement the direct relationship.

I heard today that the Nov 3 class has changed from 10 new hires to 17. Can anybody confirm this?

 

[waterski]

Grain of salt alert. Talked to the FLL chief and he said 200 to 250 a year for the next two to three years

 

[av8tor4239]

I heard today 16 for NOV 3.... 10 e190, and 6 Airbus... 17 might make sence if there is someone being recycled from MIL or MED....

Why would you want to be a Sim Instructor?....They don't give you pilot number... so you cant fly....Think hard before taking the this job.

All the best

Live in Orlando, home every night and a decent pay check. I've thought about it myself.....

I know at least two guys from years past who have transitioned to line pilots after starting as non-seniority list guys.
