Why the lateral move - JBLU-AAI and vice versa?

[Fins Up]

Maybe he's got some Check Airman pay in there or something like that.

I just did a long comparison of pay rates and retirement, and the F/O's at JB are compensated on average $7-10 per hour MORE than AAI pilots.

However, AAI CA's are compensated $10-15 per hour MORE than JB pilots.

Over a 25 year career, an AAI pilot with a 5 year upgrade will make approximately $500,000 more than a JB pilot, including retirement.

Those include the JB blended rates at the new payscales.

Go figure.

I don't have to.You already did!!

300K/yr at AirTran? Only if the guy is a 12yr check airman who also teaches systems/indoc and works 20days a month. I'm a lazy 9 yr capt who cashed in 1/4 of my options and made just under $166K.

I flew with a check airmen like that recently. His month had 6 or 7 days off and he was going to make about $24K that month with all of the IOE pay, etc.

Now that kind of money with 15 days off.....sign me up!!

For me, living 100 miles from JFK made it an easy choice. The feeling of comfort you have knowing that your car is in the parking lot.
The only guy I know of that left Tran for Blue was for the same reason....DRIVING TO WORK IS AN AMAZING THING!!!!!!

Captain I flew with this trip ran into an ex-AirTran FO in MCO who made the switch to JetBlue. He can drive to the JetBlue domicile in Boston and live where he wants to live. It made sense to me.
