1. JB is not an on time airline, nor do they claim to be. Almost all of your flights will be late. Some by a little, some by a lot.
2. Scheduling will push you harder than your regional, but will relent if you put up a fight.
3. Everyone really is happy that you at JB and will go out of their way to make that point.
4. Relations between the company and the pilot group are a bit frayed at the moment and IMO the tone of our MEC is very belligerent.
5. Given the trend of the industry, pay is low, especially training pay.
6. I'm happy here and have no apps in elsewhere.
7. I enjoyed my time at the lodge.
Funny most of my flights are on time. Those that ARE are late by <5 minutes. I do a LOT of red eyes though!!!!! Maybe that's it. Are you on the 190?
I've never had scheduling "push" me.....not once in almost 2 years.
I don't think our MEC is belligerent. I think they just call out mgmt on occasion. Mgmt hasn't had anyone do that before BTW.
Agree on all other points though.
