The airline is attempting to survive and pushing a few folks through ioe so they won’t fly is not top priority at this moment. Go in crewtrac and look at your lines next month as they’ve changed. I bet most of you will see 70 credit but now 20 block. This gets worse by the second. These folks are Jetblue pilots and are being paid $2k a month to sit home. That’s not a bad unemployment check vs what TSA and Compass are getting.
I agree here. Not fun, but no one knows how bad this will get, have to protect the company so he has a JB to return to.

Also, to the original poster, changing aviation jobs is always risky. By any chance, before your first day of class, had you heard about this virus in China that was spreading?

With that said, I'm very glad they are keeping you guys on and paying you 2k a month + benefits.
