50 sweaters and frontier is buying us?

You guys are nuts. We've got tech ventures run by an Olympian and electric planes on the drawing board.

Remember... it's not a circle unless it's a blue circle... because blue is different and stuff

Fixed it 😁

At what point will the board consider JBTV a complete waste of money?

Just another avenue BS can take so she doesn't have to fly (thank goodness).

Gup

When Bonnie goes to Tibet with Erlich Bachman.

To get the 50 sweaters?

I think he is on constant mind altering drugs, much like our ELT.

Love that show.

Rumor going around Allegiant is that we are buying Hawaiian.

Allegiant is where all of the good Hawaiian and Jetblue info comes from, just like we are the source for Southwest and United.

Email came out today explicitly blaming ATC and no one else for the recent operational pitfalls we have been experiencing daily.

ATC now provides catering, MX and crew planning for Jetblue.

Lol. They've been behind the ATC reform push for some time.

This is such bulls#!t. It can only be true if ATC has it out for JB. Other airlines haven't been hovering below 50% on time. It's hard to look customers in the eye knowing how terrible the on time performance is. I WANT to be proud of my company's performance. Sadly, I can't.

Immediately upon showing up at the gate yesterday I was mobbed by irate passengers. Some yelling. I'm trying to explain I JUST GOT HERE and have no idea what's going on while the fervor is escalating. Sorry I can't give you a seat. No, I don't know where you bags are. No I have no idea why 4 JFK flights are delayed 3 hrs and leaving 12 minutes apart. Gird your loins, it's getting interesting out there.

A fox with the keys to the henhouse. The airlines get a seat on the board under privatization. NBAA, AOPA, and all the other alphabets are opposed. Who has the most to gain? The airlines of course.

JB for better or worse flies out of delay prone airports and stands the most to gain by improvements to ATC. Also JB not having a regional to take it on the chin delay-wise is at a disadvantage. Ex. DL and JB both have an evening departure from BUF to JFK. JB takes a delay, as does Endevour but not DL. A real inaccuracy in reporting on time if u ask me...

Don't forget to dial in to this weeks Jet Talk with "Captain" Bart to learn about volunteer opportunities near you.

Is this f'ing company for real?

Unfortunately, yes.

Gup

Blaming ATC is not the answer. There is only so much runway space in JFK and BOS. When you schedule 40 flights in a 60 minute period in the late afternoon to both airports in the middle of thunderstorm season, you can only blame yourself. Management's job is to understand the environment they work in and create solutions. JB needs to get creative, develop a long term growth plan that takes this into account and not blame ATC for delays they help create. They are in the big leagues now, play and act like it!

ummm...

no its' growing pains...

we're ONLY 17

humanity

culture

Everyone needs to sacrifice to work here.

6hrs delayed the other day, 8hrs the day after doing the same flight. I can't look at these passengers any more with dignity It's really and unfair to see what the gate agents are going through.

I think this is changing in 2018 so that DL, UA, AA, AS will need to include their regional performance in with their own. They're putting a lot more pressure on performance numbers with their regional carriers now because of it.

We'll get you there.... 15 hours late! All about that conpletion factor!

"Thank you for not flying JetBlue" is my new phrase!

I love the customers who stick around to board that flight. I did a BOS-JFK leg a couple of months ago that was delayed 9 hours. A customer said, "I could have driven there by now." I thought but didn't say ("YOU COULD HAVE MADE 3 ROUND TRIPS BY CAR!!!!!!)

-Bubs

That's actually right out of DL's playbook. Don't cancel, just run it a day late if able.

LOLOL- I love this post.:D

In light of the last e-mail blaming everything on ATC, here are yesterdays LAX - JFK flights. Results are similar on most, if not all, transcon flights . . .

Yeah, its an ATC issue . . . :rolleyes:

Im curious what Delta's turn times are.

763 (B763) was on ground for 12 hours, came in from HNL.
1123 (B764) was on ground for 8 hours, came in from JFK.
407 (A333) was on ground for 12 hours, came in from JFK.
40 (B752) scheduled for 1:05 on ground, came in from JFK.
473 (B763) scheduled for 1:00 on ground, came in from JFK.
2262 (B763) scheduled for 1:10 on ground, came in from JFK.
759 (B752) scheduled for 0:50 on ground, came in from JFK.
1162 (B752) scheduled for 0:50 on ground, came in from DCA.
1908 (B763) scheduled for 3:55 on ground, came in from HNL.
1362 (B752) scheduled for 3:40 on ground, came in from JFK.

Huh, seems like they give their crews time to turn the jets. What a concept.

New rule
 

New Rule for Reserves:

Every day the DRO is late, add up the delay in minutes and put those minutes in a "time bank". Once those delay minutes equal 4:12 you get a day off.

The DRO the other day was 3+ hours late. They expect us to show up on-time, but yet they can't do their job on-time.

Pathetic.

Was talking to guy here the other day who said he'd been keeping count. Sounds like its been 65 consecutive days with the DRO being late. Not sure how accurate that is but it does make me wonder how many times I could show for work late and not activate the dependability policy?

Maybe the plan should include overnights in places with 7:41 turns so when you taxi for 1:59 they're not scrambling to gather crews from out stations in Texas when we time out after the first leg. But no worries, it's only a three hour drive between AUS and the other TX destinations. They'll drive someone over. Eventually.

Honestly, I am surprised the company hasn't send an email changing the published DRO time to something later by now, in order to avoid sending emails apologizing for the late publishing times, on an almost daily basis. Saying you are Sorry over and over again, yet nothing changes, means you Don't really Care. I wonder if they send you a little thank you email or note for picking up RSA, VDA...:rolleyes: Never done one but my guess is that they don't. Contract Above All!

This is whats happening right now.

Contract Above All

CONTRACT NOW.

A WAI for white guys?

A WAI/OBAP for white guys?

I see one guy that isn't white.

Thank you Big E 757!
