The company pushed SET for YEARS, then they pi$$ed away all the pilot goodwill and now they don't bother asking.
Did you know guys used to VOLUNTARILY clean the planes to help on the turns? No arm twisting required. You don't see that anymore.
You see CAs do stand up PAs at other carriers? That started at JetBlue.
Everyone did them, now no one does
Must be because everyone is so happy here.

From what’s been told to me was to reapply in every window. I did and eventually got the call. There may calls without having to reapply (contrary to what I’ve been told or what the email they send to applicants says) but I think those may be the minority. Yet again APC members turn it into a complex argument. Dude it’s simple if you don’t care enough to find the one hour it takes to reapply then you should probably focus on applying to a place that triggers that desire.

I just pulled the email out of my junk folder. Does this mean to update our profile information and hit submit, or does this mean to re-register?
