I’m in the perpetual trap of JetBlue. The money here is good. I drive to work. But.......I get abused on a daily basis on the line. I’m treated like a reserve pilot when I’m a line holder and who’s held accountable? No one. Blatant violation of the CBA. Argued against me because the IROP delays changed the rules.

Every time CS calls me it’s for an EMA. Yeah, 2 in a calendar year. The best is that they don’t track that for 2 reasons. If they did it would be full by Jan 15th. Secondly, you can’t say no because if you did you’d be stuck sitting next to the customers in the terminal as they’re yelling at you (happened to me twice this week), no hotel, no one to talk to (2 hour call times) and no answers.

And......now the dust is settling you have to go fight for the pay they supposedly were going to give you in the EMA assignment. Crew pay doesn’t give a $hut what CS says. They follow their rules.

How about asking for a note to reimburse for your Uber to your car because the Logan express stopped running at 0115 and now it’s 0300? This is after I flew a jet I shouldn’t have on an extension I shouldn’t have taken just so I could go the F home and end the pain. The answer? No.

Or, I can leave and start over. It shouldn’t suck like this at JetBlue. But it does. For now.
