To the jetBlue pilot too lazy to send in an interest card

[Smarta$$]

Again you are making stuff up.

I never said we were.

That is all you have. Facts sourced from fiction.

See ya junior.

Fiction? Thanks to our PVC email about scheduling today, I know that JB pilots average about 5.3-5.8 credit hours per day. Do you not trust the PVC?

I have friends at almost every other major flying narrow body aircraft. I get a schedule description from the guys flying my commutes. They all get their schedule statistics from their respective unions. Do you not trust the information that is distributed from their unions? When my friends tell me their average schedule award is 70-80 hours with 14-17 days off, is it hard to figure out what their average daily credit is?

It is pretty hard to have important discussions about our professional circumstances when you limit yourself and others to only information from professional journals and scientific studies.

Either way, I can say I am pro-union. I can say I give JB no forgiveness for our terrible healthcare. I can say that we are, in fact, behind our peers in pay and benefits. I can tell others on this board to go to a real major airline. I have said ALL of these things. But that isn't good enough for you and a few others unless I am willing to light a match or say anything (even if it is a complete fabrication).

Dudette, I asked you for your data.

That is all. Then you spun out of control like you always do.

Get a grip.

Do I trust the PSC? The guys that credit 140 plus hour a month and advocate that rigs are 'communistic'.

No I don't. The former Chair is now CS (director of flight ops) bitch in flight operations. Only one way to get to work side by side with evil and that is you are the evil too. But he was our 'advocate'. BS!!

You of course have NO IDEA who I'm referring too because you have a total lack of context of the undercurrent at BlueJet.

1. The PSC guys I have met are d-bags as well.

2. I was told by some of my union negotiators/reps the same thing about trip and duty rigs at my last airline.

 

[Splert]

The two structures are similar, huh?

 

[clickclickboom]

Instead of all this bs between the two of you we should post year over year w2's and that should pretty much end the smartass questioning everyone and anyone that does not tout the company line ( even though he pretends to be a big union supporter and knows all our shortfalls )

Afterall I have received a " RAISE " the last three years and made less EVERY YEAR. I am sure nearly every pilot that has been here over 5 years has experienced the same.

Im not even talking about the $15k out of pocket this year for health care and the last $800 bill i got for a simple trip to the dermatologist..

Company coined the phrase " power users " will see a slight increase the other 70% will save money.. Thats the facts you should be trying to disprove not your brothers

This year will be no different..

Smarta$$ if you are so pro pilot why do you question anyones post on here that is not pro company? I just dont get it..

And yes we have flown before

70% will save money

. into an HRA which will be promptly confiscated upon retirement or after a non power user quits.

So everyone pays more.

Sorry but I and many other pilots made more each and every year.
I also do the HSA so when I retire, It goes with me.

 

[Splert]

Congrats

You are being changed $960 a year to save $1,760 and for a saving account with a $5,690 max.

Btw SWA HSA is $11. A month with very similar underlying coverage.

 

[B6Driver]

I don't follow all your numbers but SWA does have a much better deal. Good for them, wish it was us.
Everything I can do to avoid taxes is a welcomed opportunity.

 

[Splert]

Green price is X.

Blue is X plus $80 per month (family rate).

Major difference is RX is subject to the deductible and HSA vs HRA.

After the max $1760 is deposited into the HSA , which is your money from inflated premiums the HSA can only hold about $5,600.

Paying $80 a month is a very expensive tax deferred account. You would do much better funding a variable annuity and take the green plan.
