I don’t know why I’m even arguing, the JB then was before my time, and JB now is after my time.

Yeah, splitting hairs, if you ask me. The fact was guys were stoked to get a call from JB, because nobody else was hiring, so by default made it “the place to be.” But times have drastically changed.

I remember being on a UAL jumpseat and being told be careful about coming here , you probably get furlouhed within a year, and that’s exactly what they were doing. Hiring and laying off.
Looks like your frame of reference is about that of a goldfish.

I don’t know why you’re arguing when you clearly don’t have a clue what the environment was like in the mid 2000’s. Tell us about the Continental pilot contract. Tell us about Northwest in 2006 and Delta for that matter (both in Chapter 11). US Air was the place to be huh post their BK? America West?

Jetblue was a safe harbor in a nasty storm of 2001-2010. The pendulum has swung.
You are speaking as if BeatNavy’s post was in some way pro-company. I wasn’t in the industry, but as I understand it, post 9-11, when pilot groups were accepting concessionary contract, to prevent even more furloughs, JB was THE place to be. Still hiring, at a rate that was competitive. That’s not a pro-company statement, that’s simply history (as I understand it). Times have changed, the pay rates at JB have not.

Kilroy. They lied to me during my interview. They are trying to keep you positive. Make no mistake, the company is dragging this out. It could be 5 years and a strike before we get a market rate contract. You will see. Come back here in a year and re read this post.

My interview was 2.5 years ago and back then they told us that the contract is less than a year away.
