I'm not shooting the messenger, but that makes zero sense. The cabin refresh program would take planes offline, so if they cancel the program then we'd have more planes than originally planned and need more frontline staff than planned.
Actually...yep that all sounds about right for JB

There's no fat left to trim so this company is devouring itself. Cutting staffing, reducing spare parts inventories, carrying less catering, these are the resources that allow an airline to function normally, let alone through a holiday weekend.
Combine this management strategy with absolutely zero communication to frontline employees about why we're having to sacrifice so much when we had so little to begin with has left the employees who actually make this whole operation somehow work deflated and demoralized.
JetBlue management has utterly failed its employees and its customers.
If they don't want to build the church for Easter, fine, just don't expect anyone to want to come back for Christmas.
To have some larger, secret plan revealed, showing us why this was all necessary is about the best outcome I could see. Instead I fear this is happening solely as a result of greed. Greed regardless of the cost to the people who made the JetBlue brand what it was.
JetBlue right now is rudderless and has no discernable direction. I wish this were merely incompetence, but all I hear is talk from on high about costs costs costs. They know exactly what they're doing and seemingly couldn't care less how it affects us.
Look out for yourselves, look out for your fellow pilots, look out for your inflight crews and mechanics, and look out for AO and GO. We're all we have to rely on.

Pretty sure they didn't cancel FA classes. According to the CPO a class of 76 just started.
The cabin refresh has been delayed several times since it was originally supposed to occur almost two years ago. Until recently I couldn't go a trip without hearing the FAs complaining about how low their bid divisors were or how few trips were in open time.

Totally agree.
Especially about the ELT. We are having an operational meltdown and our CEO is talking about soar with reading while our CP is bragging about low attrition and guys picking up RSAs followed up with an email begging for help.

If you're applying with JB, join the increasing number of us currently here who are looking for work elsewhere. This place has the trajectory of a failed North Korean missile.

LMAO! Did you think it'd change because we complain about it in apc??
You should call Joel and tell him you're mad and the operation is running less than 50% on time. He doesn't know and cares about you.
Come on man.
It's not going to change... won't change after the CBA either. Well just have a different avenue to a pay check. Well get paid better to deal with the circus.
All we can do is arm the NC with as much info as possible and hang on for the ride. The only other option in to run for the hills.
Hope to see ya in NY on the 18th.
