Currently, how long does it take to hold a line on the A320 in JFK and BOS.
What is the most junior date of hire for an A320 BOS FO.
What are the minimum days off on reserve, and what is the greatest number of block days off you can bid for when on reserve.
What's initial training like, and do you look forward to recurrent training. Is it a 'training' culture, or a 'checking' culture.
Looking at threads from two+ years ago, it seems that morale has sunk quite low since then. Considering that some of the issues now, were present then - cleaning aircraft seats, and reserve rules - is it largely money, or has there been some other culture change that has compounded the money issue.
Thanks
With respect to this last question nothing has really changed. The main difference is those pilots who defended the airline years a go have now experienced what Jetblue really is. Management is the same, culture is still just a word, cleaning, reserve and money are still the same.
Jetblue does a wonderful job is selling itself as something better or greater than "the failed models" but once you are on property for a while and you see first hand how this place is run, how undervalued the employees are and how profitable the airline is your own opinion sours and so does moral.
Its just a job, just a job.
