Default Welcome B6 Pilots

THIS IS THE PLACE

Through all of the flight-deck ranting, one question has been recurring over and over. When are we going to get a bulletin board to start talking? There are a few pilots who've looked into setting one up and nobody wants to risk attaching their name to a URL or a web-hosting account.
For now, this is as good a place as any and the resources available on this website are very good. It does take a few days to get registered but anonymity is assured. I wrote to the owners and this was their response:

"The short answer to your question about anonymity is: Yes - you and
you're friends at jetBlue are assured of complete anonymity if they
wish it. The ONLY exception is if we are required to do so by court
order. This has never been a problem and we don't expect it to be,
although it is our policy to cooperate with LAW enforcement agencies.
We do have measures in place to remove questionable posts from our
forums, so we hope things never get to that level."

"Privacy on the Airline Pilot Central forums, and the site in general, is
covered in our Privacy Policy and published on our site. In short WE
don't share any personal information provided to us by our users.
Disclosure of info on the forums is limited by individual posters based
on the content of their posts, but be assured that APC does not disclose
information about individual posters. That said, we strongly discourage
anyone from posting any identifiable personal information on ANY
Internet forum."


I feel pretty good about this site. I would encourage anyone who plans to speak their mind in such a way as to offend the establishment - to stay away from information that may in some way identify you.
The court order is a concern, so please do not use names (including management), make sure you understand what defamation is, and never-ever threaten anyone.

I have spoken to numerous jetBlue pilots and the word is going out about this forum. Please - if you're looking for a place to build concensus and hash things out, let other pilots know about this web-site.

Communications between jetBlue pilots is lacking to say the least. It is essential that we start to talk about what is bothering us. Particularly with a new survey coming out. If there is a message to be sent, the survey will be the first place to start.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and to speak your mind.
