Default Commuting from/to Europe

Hi,

Currently flying for an ACMI that allows me to commute to Europe. I know at DL you can stack 16 days of RSRV in a row and have 14 days off in a row or during month transitions, is that possible at JetBlue?

Thanks in Advance

yes its possible. You can waive and stack reserve days. I know quite a few who do.

Thanks! Do you need to be senior to bid that way, or just waiving your rest would do it?
If you bid that way is 16 the max days on?

Max is 18. You need to be senior enough to be able to hold a weekend or two off. It is not automatic. There are two weekend days each week. If you aren’t senior enough to hold those off your 17 days won’t all be stacked.

So, what can a first year FO actually make if they live in base and are willing to work a little OT each month?

Depends on the fleet, but I'd wager 150 is easy, 175+ if you want to slay it. Much easier on year 2+ pay. I told you I'd write you a letter years ago, get your a$$ over here!

Like I used to tell pilots contemplating leaving the military, when you wait 5 more years to join the airlines, your not bypassing the first 5yrs, your cutting off the last 5yrs of your career.

how are you able to pull that off? I’ve been on long call since January and get called every time? Most of my long call days I’m working! I even pref pass. Seriously?
