Other cape guys aren’t like that. He just seems happy and lucky to be here.

 

You don’t get what you deserve, you get what you can negotiate. FACT

 

I see my analogy upset some folks. Oh well.

The takeaway is that people who work at one place, and complain that they don't make as much as employees at the other place do can either a) apply to the higher-paying place and move on up, or b) accept that they work at a place that pays them less. Of course, trying to convince mgmt to increase their wage is always an added option to b) (in fact, it is the preferred option to whining on an internet forum about how they deserve more).

No one's arguing that our skills are worth something. But EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU at JB applied knowing the differences between JB and the legacies. Why accept the job, if it wasn't what you truly wanted? That seems to be the point of contention between those who like it here (85-90%) and those who choose to complain.

I prefer to enjoy my days off, save as much as I can to enjoy my life after JB, and live life to the fullest. Getting mad about where I chose to work is stupid, because that is where I CHOSE to work. I have no one to blame but myself if my life were to suck because of my job.

 

Agree.

This made me laugh. Sound almost.exactky like something Dwight.from the office would say. FACT

 

You do realize jetBlue used to pay the avg of the legacies correct? So your argument is what now... that you see bluejet as a
Tier 2 airline?

 

I cannot speak to the past, only to now. Now, our PS sux. Our retirement needs work (DaFuQ is 5% PS going to retirement? PS is for us NOW, not when we are old!)

 

Tell me more about 5% of the PS going to retirement? I think you just outed yourself as a non-pilot, or a really ill-informed one.

 

Not only that, but pay (peer average) adjusted annually, plus 150% for all credit above 78 hours (even a sick call) and better health insurance.

This is just a sample of how far JB has fallen since I was hired. So yeah, the "you knew what you were getting" when you came here argument doesn't work.

Not surprised 3.60KIAS say such things.

 

Right?!?

He literally can't be a line pilot when you add up all of his comments.

 

Ok, you’re definitely not a pilot at Jetblue. If you are then just.....wow. Retirement is right up there with the Legacies, better than Southwest. Maybe you should ask a friend that works at Jetblue for a copy of the CBA, so you can look for yourself.
