My last 2 FOs don’t have any desire to fly widebodies. They wanted jetblue to be their career airline. They saw what a disaster this operation is and are in the process of leaving. One to southwest and one to either delta or United. Their disillusionment began in the schoolhouse with the training disaster and pay cutover disaster. Throw in an endless irop, and they were done with this place. It used to take a while on the line to get the blue juice out of newhires. Now the company is doing it within the first few weeks of training. Easy for Warren to cite widebodies as the reason we are losing people. But that isn’t the only reason people are leaving.Originally Posted by Climbto450
the difference is that our Yogo (320) rates are the same as the big three yogo rates. We just don't have a Mercedes (wide-body) in our garage. We are loosing new hires and junior pilots that want to go fly the Mercedes and/or live near one of the big three's bases. We have along way to go and pay rates are only a small part of the attraction of a destination carrier..
