Jeez where do I start?? Realistic you must be a real pleasure to live or work with. Does ANYTHING please you??

You do bring up many good points but with that constant negative slant. ALWAYS the negative slant. Is there something in the water in SoCal??

You write pretty well, so I have a suggestion: become a writer for a political organization. This way you can make good use of your ability to slant everything you put into print. You will have to learn to use a positive slant as well as your well-practiced negative, this may be too big of a change for you.

As for your 'inquiry' about the difference between pay at Frontier and JetBlue, why the comparison?? We are not Frontier, they are not JetBlue.

Why do you think the the pay rates and type of compensation should be the same or even similar?? If you think you should be compensated like those at Frontier, apply there, say goodbye to JetBlue, there will be few damp eyes here!

And the answer is that the creators of JetBlue are very smart and aware of the most common and strongest of human emotions: GREED [this is a good thing!!] JetBlue has an investment in us, and like you have stated, it is cheaper to pay premium pay than to hire and train an additional crewmember, so do you have a problem with smart management??

At JetBlue if you want to make some more $$ then you work more and at a premium rate, if you want to back off for a month or two, then you make less, and someone else who wants to make some premium time can work more. This seems very fair and equitable to me. You seem to think that you are owed some different compensation that was explained to you when you were offered a job here.

If I were able to pick up an additional 5:40 turn for straight time instead of for premium pay would I?? Doubtful. My time at home is worth more. But at premium pay, yes, I will stay another day at work. If I'm working hard, I want to be compensated at a higher rate for my extra work. This is all good business and good for us too.

You just can't see it. You are so negative that if you got everything that you whine and complain about here, then you would just find something else to complain about.

Get some professional help. Get another/different job. It amazes me that you post all over these pilot forums and everywhere it is always the same negative, poor-me stuff that you made the decision to join up for. If you made a mistake coming to JetBlue, then fix it, and go elsewhere.

This is a great place to work, and in this incredibly difficult economic environment the only place I would like to be.

Happy to be here, there are a few 'flies in the ointment' but only a few.

YOU made the decision to be LGB based, not JetBlue, quite whining about your decision to be at LGB, or change it !!
