NutKase, thanks for the info. I guess we did get a little side tracked. Did you fill one out yourself? How involved is it? Jetblues is pretty simple.

Cool. It's nice to know that so many pilots are willing to fly A320s for J-31 rates.

I imagine the cockpit conversation will go something like this:
Capt to FO: dang! That lead FA's smokin' hot!
FO: Yeah, I'm very tempted to ask her out.
Capt: Sweet! Back to business- tell me again how we're eligible for foodstamps.
FO: Due to our wages, we qualify; just go down to the welfare office and fill out the paperwork. I did it; it's very easy and now I'm eating like a king. I've got KRAFT mac 'n cheese; no more generic stuff for me.
Capt: Awesome! And you were saying that public transportation's been great, right?
FO: Yeah, it's only the early shows that I have to get to the airport the night before and sleep in the terminal. I love picking up extra flying; nothing like a good night's sleep in a motel 6.

Really, and where are their payrates posted at?

Here is the payscale according to a memorandum to the state of California. It's basically a PDF file that I found dated December of 2004. It's a critical proposal agreement that is required in the state of California code of regulations (CCR).

Yes, and it was pretty simple and not involved at all. Basically answer a few questions and attach your resume.

But to answer the question:

Search for 'Pilots' in the Keyword box.
Click 'Pilots and Flight Attendants'
Ignore the 'We are NOT currently taking resumes' comment
Click on 'here' in 'Click here if you are applying for the first time.'

You'll be able to attach your resume and fill out an online app.

Do you really think that's a good idea? (honest question, not critcism) They are saying not to and you do it anyways. Seems like it might be just one of those little traps that they are using to weed out some of the thousands of aps they will get when the window does open.

I for one am waiting it out and checking the website every day, waiting for the window to open up. Maybe I'm wrong...

It was all I could think of at the time. I guess I could sign up with a new name, but I'd hate to lose my 8 posts and be considered newbie scum. I mean, I've already expressed my willingness to whore myself out and "bring down the standards of my industry." I applied at JetBlue too...

whore house job

I want work with your son !!

I'm just glad that my son shows no interest in being a pilot.
I'm trying to encourage him to enter a more stable profession. I've been getting him piano lessons so that he can be the piano player in a whore house.
