Default Fly an E190 & want to work for JB founder?

Interesting twist about JB’s founder’s new start up - will start early with ex-Azul E190s. 60 A220s still on order too. Not many details yet from Neeleman. Here’s the article:

Again, not many details yet...

Now that’s a golden opportunity for the guys on this forum that are very unhappy with B6.

You're perfect for your new employer.

My post was actually sarcastic. All the guys complaining on here will never leave. I understand their plight but posting on these boards is not the most effective means of getting things done.

Trust me, I want Delta level profit sharing too.

The most effective means of getting things done is simple.

Vertical learning curve.

Some seem to have a curve-shaped like Kansas ... flat. I.E. they never or refuse to learn because of position within the organization (project pilot, etc) or are a slow learner because that is how we were brought up. To act with character, values, and integrity. I support that but just not in a business that is a one-way street.

The pilot group needs to have an Empire State Building curve. Vertical.

Otherwise, the cycle of learning is continual and we will never get there as a group. We have 19-year pilots who ignore the facts, we have 10-year pilots who are still hopeful and then we have new hires.

We are not on the same page. How do we get there? Experience. Kansas or Empire State Building!

The company has time on their side and by the time the cycle is run its course and all iterations are exhausted ... all of us will be retired. All of us.

Drop all your allusions. You are cost unit and nothing more.

Act like one and FAST!. Learning complete.

I'm glad there are things we can agree on.

In addition to BluejetDork's post about education, I would add that the best place to educate the "specials" is the place where the "specials" hang out. APC.

Why the incremental difference?

The profitability of the company or size relative to Delta or is it something else?

"Edumated" us!
