You can't compare JetBlue to a cargo company that flies internationally. If you do then throw all the other cargo companies in the mix and see where the pay falls. Your also dead wrong on hiring mins. Delta does not even require an ATP. It's not like guys are going to JetBlue cause its the only place they can, they are the only ones hiring. Yeah I know delta opened window to interview in late 2013. United/cal opened there window, even though about 1500 still furloughed, good luck there. FedEx was hiring, family and friends. Southwest brought in about 140, all stuck behind the AirTran guys. The bottom line is this, compare JetBlue pay to other companies that fly the same airplane. Not delta's or united's highest pay scale, look at their lowest pay scale, cause that's where you will be. Some "legacies" have lower hiring mins. Right now, and for 2013 JetBlue is the only place hiring. You complainers are just talking out of your A**
Maruster, is that you? Don't hate JetBlue, just seriously dislike the management spin on our takeaways. Btw, I'm not that unhappy about our pay, but when I compare us to DL, I use A320 and DC9 pay scales. You know, comparable equipment and all… BTW I saw the other thread where you compared us to either WalMart or Hostess workers, that was slick chief. I'm pretty sure I have more esteem for my chosen profession, sorry you don't.
