ALPA should have a website targeted at prospective applicants like Republic (i think?) had years back. Maybe park the mobile billboard outside OSC entrance on interview day.

Anyhow, hope the interview practice serves you people well for your interview at a well paying airline. Remember, there's no shame in being stuck at a regional. We've all been there. There IS shame in being a dumpster diving pilot at a 30% discount.

It is delusional to truly think that Regional pilots will stay at their crappy regional instead of joining an airline like jetblue. As long as work rules are better (and they are overall much better) and as long as pay is better (it is), regional pilots will come. Happily.

The website the minority who lost the vote at Republic had, as well as their fear mongering social media campaign, obviously failed. Failed again with the last LOA.

Same here, you will not succeed in scaring Regional/135/military pilots away as long as it is better than what others have it.

Obviously it’s not going to scare somebody away who has already made up their mind and can’t wait to ditch their regional, but for people on the fence, it sure as hell can. There are a lot of them.

The work rules here are worse than a lot of regionals btw. The only thing that is better is the pay scale and an easier schedule than regionals.

it should be obvious that anyone looking to get on with Jetblue right now knowing whats going on with negotiations it trying to improve their current situation and Jetblue is better than where they are right now...

Better pay scale and easier schedule. OK.

Could you list the work rules that are worse than "a lot of the regionals"?

Hopefully our new ALPA ride will be trolling Barger Blvd.

Reserve rules suck. At XJT you knew your RAP for the whole month, at JB they tell you at noon the day prior (on the rare occaission it isn’t late). And I don’t mean at noon the day before you start your 4 day they give you your start times for the whole 4 day. They dole out start times 1 day at a time. Makes planning your commute real fun.

Also, red eyes are the joy of my existence. 2-4 per month. I heard they had some show up in the 190 bid package for March too. What’s not to love?
