ALPA is on the property
Any thanks to your vote? Just curious.
I fly 11 days a month.
Congrats. And work at LSC/OSC how many?
I have vacation over the summer.
Congrats. You are one of the very few people at JetBlue that can due to the incredibly pi$$ poor industry lagging (contrarian?) vacation rules.
I allow my seniority work for me rather than bidding junior Captain seat.
I have had several pay raises since I have been here.
And yet you still work for 35% less than your peers. Congrats.
I sell back Vacation
Your pals at LSC and OSC are very appreciative of your support.
ALPA is on the property and doing a good job IMHO.
Agreed.
It has gotten better many from my new hire class are Captains!
I.. I..., ugh.
We wait for our stellar CBA!
...and wait, and wait, and wait...

Things are getting better because some of your class made captain? Delta has 9 month upgrades and one of the best contracts in the industry. Our upgrade is 5+ years now and going north rapidly! Better!!!?!?!?
You've had several pay raises since you got here? EVERY. SINGLE. RAISE. has kept you below industry standard, NOT TO MENTION below industry retirement, rigs and work rules. And God forbid you get sick or have a sick kid, because you will lose a week of vacation or lose a week of vacation sell back if you do. Better!
YOU fly 11 days a month, so it's clearly getting better for all of us!
Wow.

The juicer crowd continues to post on various message board how great this place and culture is. In addition pilots who don't even fly the line(instructors, management pilots) telling the rest of us how great things are. Absolutely nauseating.
Who the **** do you think you are?
rant over. have a good weekend everyone.

If people don't like SWA, great. There are pros and cons for every shop. But don't let this 4-5 leg per day thing be the reason. The vast majority of trips have 2 -4 legs a day. A small percentage are single leg days, and a tiny fraction have >4 legs a day.
It's a big company so if you want to fly 2 long legs a day, you can do that. Want to fly 5 short ones, you can do that too.
Upgrade time is lengthy, but not terrible. Projected at around 11 years for a buddy who just got hired.
All that said, unless you live in an SWA domicile, I'd stay put. That seniority number has value. You'll have a competitive CBA before long. Hopefully it'll be better than SWA so you can participate in pattern bargaining! Keep fighting the good fight!

If you cant see that then you are either severely immature, unintelligent or lacking empathy.
My guess is that you live in base and like me, have seen some good movement in seniority. That is not the reality for many here, and better options exist out there.
Open your mind a bit HB-theres a big world out there.
