1100 more pages of why jb sucks now please.
I'm in the same boat as Craig, Payne, Hyper and 450. Lifes not perfect a bluejet. But it's not "breaking rocks in Afghanistan". Or the prison sentence described much of the time either.
I know guys who hate UAL as much as some hate it here. Same with AA. The grass isn't greener... it's just different grass. We've had guys come here from fedex, one guy just had the last chance to go back to UAL and stayed here. MY GOD WHY!!
and really? wide bodies? you came here and thought... some day we'll have wide bodies? give it a rest already.
Yep we have very few retirements... but we're growing, I mean stagnantly growing... not parking jets, no differals (yet right).
We'll add another 9-10% to this pilot list this year and we've steadily added a few hundred guys for the last 6-7 years. But they're secretly planning to return some 320's they'll never tell us about.
I was hired in 2008 at #2005 I'm 1760 something now and we've got 3700ish on the list. Not sure where I could have gone then to make it to 48% on the list by now but it's not UAL AA or DAL.
BD, I'm not sure what your dream airline was, I'm sorry it's not here.
That's some serious BS Cool. With respect.
Dudes hate it at UAL and AA?!? We're PILOTS! Of course they are going to bttch. But I'd rather bttch with pay and benefits that isn't bottom of peerset?
Can you seriously not understand that distinction?
Then you ask where you could have gone, in 2008, to get better career progression? WFCs! That's not the question at hand right now. The discussion is about dudes getting hired today and whether getting hired here now is as good of an opportunity as getting hired by those at the top of our peerset. Can someone get hired now with your 2008 seniority? No.
And complaining that there wasn't enough positive posts about BlueJet?!? Why do you need that?
My seniority number isn't that far behind yours, so it doesn't make much sense for me to leave. Plus it's quite a painful process to start over, which you know full well. What I want is for JB to find it's rudder, find some leadership SOMEWHERE, and realize it's potential for the benefit of all of us. Stop the FAKE culture and to get off the bottom of the peerset in comp, bennies and work rules.
