Default IROP Pants Be Damned!

Well, here we go! It’s cold and snowy in the northeast. Buckle up for irregular operations. The first management email to get the team ready hit at noon. “Plan your commute so we can hold you accountable for the flights we may or may not cancel”. I’m waiting for the VP email asking customers to contact the Congressman and ask for Mother Natire to let up in the northeast. Then let’s paint some jets with ‘MotherNatureStop.org’.

How about we invest in some serious planning software and compliment that with a dedicated management team (that includes pilots who possess the ability to see the operation tilting on flica and make their own plans to make $ thousands on jblue mistakes) that establishes a subset of SOC that can forecast, plan and correct the operation back into normal ops. How do we get the $ for this software and team? How about the $310mil we lost on delays on 2017? How about the millions we’re about as see in 2018 tax advantage benefits? Think about if u ran OTP through and IROP what could you do on a CAVU day?

Bubs......out

The operation is already waffling. Not a flake has fallen. 6 hour delays all over the place. DH into a day off is now normal scheduling. (No hotel for the 6hour delay as it wasn’t forseen and don’t worry you’ll get $JRA on your day off DH)

Jetblue IROP SOC Management Planning:

1200- Put out the DRO for next day reserve assignments

1230- Management email dictating not to miss your commute

1300-180 flight cancellations. Most from Jblue commuter Hubs.

Seriously? Bloomberg points out to the world how much we suck at on-time performance to the tune of $310,000,000 and this is the response? The suck meter is pegged RED.

Sorry, no money to invest in IROP recovery or pilot CBA.

Just started another stock buy-back to the tune of 750mil.

Still can't believe people are still surprised. We go through this every damn snow storm You'd think they'd have learned by now... Luckily I'm off for a few days. I figure by the time I get back things will be back to somewhat of a normal operation.

Man! You’re lucky. You can start ‘Helping out’. Although, I won’t fault the guy who picks up the E190 BOS-AUA turn. That’s when CS has certainly lost control.
