I wouldn’t be surprised to see 2019 hires getting 190CA
Agree with you. IMHO It is very likely to see a 2019 hire holding 190 CA. For the 320 CA, a 2017, maybe even 2018 hire. |

You think early or late 2019? |
[QUOTE=Skycap876;3283702]Good morning,
I received an invite to JB today and would like some formal insight as to the culture and working conditions at JB. I'm curious to the flexibility of scheduling, dropping, trading, mandated min line values, and current upgrade times. I hear there has been a lot of discussion about a JB/AA merger? How would that benefit/hurt a new hire? From my 18 years in the industry, JB has seemed Great "niche" Company but from what I've understood, very slow movement for career progression. Any advice on leaving a stable and profitable regional for JB? Also any insight on growth or other considerations would be helpful. I Appreciate the time.[ Slow on seniority movement however that will start to change in the next few years, and I personally wouldn’t turn down a job here if at a regional. Upgrades at JFK are probably going very junior for the next system bid. Dropping trading etc can go either way. Weekends are impossible to drop but you can sometimes trade your way out, again seniority helps that. As for working conditions, hands down I have had nothing but excellent experience with the captains here. Super professional group, easy to get along with. Hope that helps. |
Ask the senior ExpressJet guys how staying at a regional worked out for them.
At a regional, you will always be at the mercy of mother mainline. As to the merger rumors, they have been part of the rumor mill since the maiden flight, that should never really enter into the equation. |

If you work for a regional, ANY REGIONAL, you do not have a secure job. Your seniority means absolutely nothing, you can be shut down tomorrow. If you have a chance to move on to a place where the name on your check matches the name on the airplane, do it, even if you are just planning on using it as a stepping stone.

As a new hire one anticipates undesirable schedules. However what percentage are "red eye" flights. Are they avoidable? I personally prefer early mornings so a high percentage of red eye flying would be less than desired. Especially living well West of New York, which I assume is the most Junior Domicile.
Could anyone estimate an upgrade time in MCO? Either Aircraft. Thanks |
