I believe they have changed this in the new FSM and now starts and finshes (plus last day releases) are going to be by time. That shound even things out a bit for those on the bottom of the rsv list. Also, I did a yr of rsv (2 yrs ago) and I never had to work 6 on. That is a choice you must be making. You can work 4 or 5 on (thats what I did) and still have an ok qol. The summer months can be rough and it really helps if you commute from a city on the east coast with a early and late flight in/out but I almost always got home on my last day and was able to come up on my first day about half the time. Best of luck to everyone.

Senior goes first to get more time to get late show to get last day release.

I recommend JetBlue if you are out work, or if you are REALLY young and would be happy to be an FO forever. Keep in mind the last CA they will need for the next 20 years was hired 3 years ago.

What you WILL get if you get hired is E-190 FO, based in JFK/BOS, on reserve for the next several years. I'm guessing 4 years on reserve would be average at this point, maybe less if we have another windfall of planes like this year. After that, life is pretty good with Flica Alerts to modify your schedule, and a wage you can live with. Throw in another 4 years, and you would probably be senior enough to hold a line on the A-320.

from an email today...

"We’ll be opening the hiring window for the First Officer position tomorrow, April 30, and we anticipate accepting online applications until June 1, 2010.



In order to fast-track entry into training, we will be interviewing to create a pool of “ready- now” new-hire Pilots. All interested candidates must have an updated profile in our online recruitment system and in order to be considered for an interview, they must still apply through the system for this specific position."

How senior is MCO? What's the chance of a new hire getting there?

 

[aewanabe]

MCO is senior. Newhires WILL be on the 190, and MCO is a 190 base, so you might see it sooner rather than later.

Two guys from the last new hire class in 09 got MCO. The expansion is going to happen in BOS and MCO. The shift to airside 1 at the end of the year will push this. I'd say MCO on the E90 sooner than later. It's not as senior as you'd think, for awhile the plug held MCO. RSV goes senior and the most junior E90 guy here (MCO) gets a line.

Now, with motion in the ocean that could all change...

anyone else having trouble with the adding an attachment to the online app?

docx vs. doc

anyone else having trouble with the adding an attachment to the online app?

Hey LL, I had the same issues this morning - the JB system apparantly does not like Word documents created with the Word 2007 program ending in file code ".docx". I used "Save As", saved as a "Word 2003-2007" file, and then it saves as ".doc". (no x).

It then had no problem being uploaded.... Hope this helps.... Good luck!

How much notification do you get on reserve?

 

[BeachBummer]

How much notification do you get on reserve?

Long call is 14hr = day off
This is rare and you will only see it on tues, wed, thurs.
OOH and don't forget when you think your on LCL and they call you at 0000. Hey your on at 1400. Have your commute ready. They can reduce you to 9 but only if you agree. I need 14.

Especially if they call my home (HOME) phone and ask me where i am... just sayin.

Short call is 2hr

Ready is 1hr and you have to agree to do it. They will provide you a hotel or give you $50 if you live that close.

60% of the time you know when your going to go in atleast a day in advance. 10% they give you the short heads up ie: more than 2hrs notice. 30% How fast can you get here, the plane was supposed to push 10 min. ago?!?!?! That's very annoying and it happens too often.

My experience in MCO.

"If 6 days off at home per month is good then welcome aboard I guess.

Others may want to know exactly what to expect of a JetBlue new hire QOL."

I got hired two years ago and been a junior E-190 FO on reserve. I have averaged from anywhere 12 to 20+ days (when we had long call) at home each month. QOL has not been that bad even on the bottom of the seniority list, of course it's a little worse in the summer but over all I been home a lot more than 6 days per month. With the new work rules, a typical reserve schedule is 4 on 3 off working wekends and holidays. The first wave of new hires will see a line fairly soon as less pilots are required on reserve with the new work "efficiencies".

Best of luck

The new RSV rules?

They take QOL away from RSVs. Less RSVs mean RSV will fly more and have less LCR.

12 days off is the MAX not minimum guaranteed by the new FSM. Add a commute for the junior guy to a AM show then subtract 1 day from days off.

If you live in base then it is a different story.

Your experience may vary but the FSM is not designed to improve QOL for RSV at all.

Anyone read the BoB talking points letter about the new FSM they are circulating to each other? These BoB committee members want what ever crumbs reserve have left gobbled up for the benefit of line holders.

WOW...

 

[skytrash969]

Any rumors on the Blue side about possible mergers? They are a pretty small fish in an increrasingly large pond. If they grow, do you think it will be on their own, or merge?

12 days off is the MAX not minimum guaranteed by the new FSM. Add a commute for the junior guy to a AM show then subtract 1 day from days off.

The new FSM builds reserve schedules to 18 day On, section D.1. JetBlue has seven bid periods with 30 days and five bid periods with 31 days. This yields reserve schedules with seven bid periods with 12 days off and five bid periods with 13 days off. Additionally, the reserve manning model makes an assessment of excess reserve coverage after lineholders submit their time off requests in seniority order.

If excess reserve coverage exists after our seniority based schedule adjustment windows, each base and seat is assessed and reserves can be awarded pre-assigned releases from duty (reserve guarantee remains unchanged even though released from duty). The pre-release (PRL) process can yield an additional two days off. This process also protects lineholders to ensure time off opportunities are still available once we transition to our First-Come, First-Serve scheduling process.

May was the first month with the new reserve manning rules in effect. 9 of 16 seats awarded one PRL day to each reserve and one seat received two PRLs per reserve pilot. Modeling from the designers of this process predicts PRL will be available in Jan, Sep, Oct and Nov.

When going through the wizard jet blue online application I did not find any flight time grid.
Is the only way to post your time through the resume you attach or did i miss something.
Thanks for the help

If, can, may, maybe, might, should be, possible, sort of like a B-Fund.

Count on that a lot here.

When that is okay with a new hire then they will, instead of may, do fine.
