Congrats! My background check seems to have stalled out the process. Hopefully it gets straightened out soon.

First I want to say congratulations to each of who have been selected & awaiting a class date. You've likely worked hard to get to this stage in your career. Second for those of you applying, try to relax and enjoy life while waiting on the call. You can easily be sidelined by the frustratingly long wait with the process here, I wish they'd fix it.

My 1 year anny is next month and I'm still glad I did it. Training was challenging... less than some and maybe more than others but there is help for those with a good attitude and who put forth the effort. The schoolhouse is nice and instructors are awesome. Flying the line is no different. I have yet to fly with anyone who wasn't an incredible human being in some way but mostly personality-wise. Real people. I've read/heard of the occasional contrary type but they must be pretty darn rare here.

This pre-contract environment is dragging on but nothing good comes without effort so I'm looking forward to some measurable gains for the pilot group. Whatever those gains are, they'll never compare to the Legacy terms but JetBlue is NOT one of those carriers and we have plenty of people leaving for them but most reasonable pilots choose their employer by looking at the big picture & not just the contract.

I was in recurrent recently and overheard that the quality of our applicants has taken a nosedive. We can speculate on the nature of a comment like that but for the most part those who come in the door, do so for some kind of good reason.

I'm happy to answer any questions from those who are applying if I can.

Wont compare to legacy terms? FUPM. Big fat no then. We make more money per seat than the legacies. We can have a contract on par with theirs. You, sir, need to get informed and drop that mentality.

Allow me to fix this for you...


JB makes on average 61% more per seat than any other carrier.

Please... Please explain why we should not be compensated in line with every other major or legacy flying the same equipment.

Please. we'd all love to know.

This company throws money in the garbage in the name of eco preservation, innovation, and social relevance. All a charade.
Jetblue makes BILLIONS. We have one of the cleanest books on the planet for what we do. We literally print money in spite of our operational excellence...

If you think you should be paid less than your peers because we grow potato farms in queens, or maybe it's just so cool to fly neat super cool airplanes... maybe you need a new profession.

You are a professional. Demand better sir.

For the life of me, I'll never understand your pathetic defetest attitude.

We do deserve those Legacy terms. Stop selling yourself and the rest of us short:rolleyes:

Couldn't of said it better. I had to see if he was a new poster (management troll) or legitimately a line pilot. Sad to say I think he was a line pilot.
