I guess the limiting factor is your stuck with the food in the Lodge. But if you can't go anywhere due to lack of transportation seems like it's not a bad deal. I hope the food is good.

Are those figures ($3571/$2857) for 6 weeks? That's only $17 a day (taxed) extra the old way... That's one meal at a traditional restaurant. Prices look fair at the Lodge.

Still much better than most of these guys were getting at the regionals. After their LOE they will be at $49 so I'm sure they are still very happy to be here.

From: Square root of the variance and average of the variation
Two guys in the October class left for Delta. So some at least are not that happy.

I cooked /prepped six weeks worth of quality meals (not junk) for $300 using the kitchen in the room at the Staybridge. With some culinary training under my belt and being a Food Network junkie, I was a popular guy. "Got anymore of that homemade chicken chili?"....

Their first year pay begs the comparison. Virgin's first year pay is much better now, but they can always compare to spirit. I think more and more guys will go elsewhere, based strictly on pay. Most everybody else has figured out they need to make themselves attractive to future pilots, I guess jetblue isn't worried enough. I keep hearing from friends, over there, that they expect more people to bail this year.

Yeah 35K is pretty low. Did they get rid of the retention bonus? What are most second year guys making a year? Growing up in Boston I always wanted to work at jetBlue, but now that I'm close to an upgrade at my regional it causes me to think twice if I ever got a call.
