Please Help Because We’ve Lost Control
Well, the please help calls started again last night. It’s May. On a Thursday. We’re in BIG trouble.
It’s a Captain problem now. They’ve got the FO staffing pumped up. But no way they can train the Captains through the summer. And, I don’t think they want to. Keep the costs down. Use please helpers in the meantime. Hope for the best.

I’m at a zero confidence level for future planning at Jblue.

-One annual bid will theoretically help leadtimes and allow pilots to pick when they want to go to training.
-yes, supplimental bids are allowed. No displacements until 2020, however.
