Guys there are plenty of threads with info on here about jetblue.
Could you guys just let these guys be. I know you are doing them a favor and if you knew what you are telling them you wouldn’t have come and so on but this is about interviews. Just let them have a thread. Also to be honest I’m sure plenty of people don’t listen to me but if you think the same can’t be said for your never ending jetblue hate (truth as you will call it)well you are crazy. At some point people just tune out from all of this. Just like politics.
Flame away.

To those of you interviewing good luck relax and just be yourself.

Hey maybe we will luck out and XJT will buy us.

I don’t think anyone said “a lot of the regionals.” There are plenty of people at JB from bottom feeder regionals who don’t know what good work rules look like and are content with the sh!t we have here. But there are regionals out there with FAR better work rules including min day credit, vacation allocation/distribution/value, RAP assignments, LCR with limits on SCR conversions, the list goes on.

Just because JB is “better than where you came from” doesn’t make it ok to have crappy work rules. We have all paid our dues and it’s time to be treated like professionals.

Wrong. I have seen it first hand. The interest in a job at JB has plummeted among people I know since I started here. I used to get asked for help constantly by others. Now? I cannot even remember the last time I was asked for help. A couple years at least. I have literally seen the decline in interest first hand.

I’m not claiming that XJT was a better place to work. I was answering a specific question about a work rule and that’s what came to mind. Planning commutes was easier at XJT. Paying my mortgage was not.

Bluedriver

Sure. Right after we get a market rate CBA.

Certain people regularly deride those of us who point out that XJT or ASA had better work rules and QOL items by saying we should go back there or “hopefully they buy us.” It’s juicer BS. The POINT isn’t that XJT or ASA were SO GREAT...... the POINT is JB shouldn’t be behind a regional in those aspects. It’s all deflection and projection. And it’s pathetic.

Expressjet or ASA do you think you are the only people that had a good contract? AWAC had a great contract with trip touching and awesome medical. Some things are better here some not. In total I am way better off here than I was there. I bet you can find stuff in your contract at expressjet that could beat Delta. I know we could back at AWAC you could turn the one week of vacation into an entire month off through trip touching. Can’t do that at jetblue and I bet there are very few majors except Spirit that could do that.
I will grant you the time you are assigned for reserve is annoying but once you get that trip they are very limited in what they can do to you without really paying you a bunch of money.
And as far as deriding people go buy a mirror.

pilotpayne

Yes yes your plan is working. So many people listen to you.
Anyway fine infect another thread I just find it a little low class.
Guys are just talking about an interview.

Again good luck guys in the interview.

welp... that escalated quickly...

I understand, there are a bunch of people out there who forgot what it was like being on this side of the fence(looking for a better opportunity ) which is how you ended up at JB. If its so bad now why are you still there?? thats what i don't understand... a lot of ****ed off guys that wish they went to another airline, well why are you still at JB? oh thats right, because none of the legacy airlines are calling... or i could be wrong, maybe they all want you and you cant decide so you're just gonna stick around JB a little longer so you can complain a little more. HAHA

on a more serious note, i get it we all want better pay, QOL, etc. and for some/many JB is way better than their current job so don't be so negative towards guys seeking advice. thats what this Forum is for, NOT for B*****ng

at the end of the day we all go to the one that opens the door for you, or the one that will eventually offer the best QOL based on domicile,pay, etc and its not always about the money.

so can we get back to the original question???
