I'm confused my pay raise is 11.6% not 13%...If I sign so with three percent inflation that means 8.6% raise. SO see everyone come to Jetblue enjoy the pay raise, we are hiring mucho, because lots of people leaving, not retiring. Who cares about retirement just means the government will take more of your 401K. Just fly, if you think that your gonna credit 100 every month good luck. FLICA filters will be placed and you get the red DENIED. Its called cost control, now the company knows how much everyone will make for the year. Easy for them. I fly all the time with guys with their calculators out and saying if I fly 90 hours a month and sell 10 to 12 hours PTO I will be at 100. Then your wife wants to go on vacation so you use 24.5 hours or 35 whichever but since you are selling PTO back you dont gain, therefore your pot will dry up. So it seems that the window will open up fo hiring next week. Just remember two year Mickey Mouse contract if you leave you pay. How childish but smart. You need to experience it, still a fun job but the ELT always gets us in the end game.

Just as long as it is relevant. No spell check required.

How much of a heads up do you guys get before it opens usually?

If it's supposed to open this week is it unusual that your haven't gotten the official word yet?

We aren't always told when they open or close.

I am going to the Vets in Blue this week. Does anybody know of a good (cheap) hotel in the area? I have never been up in that area.

I used Hotwire last year, got a pretty good rate for NY. Free breakfast, 3 blocks from LSC. About 80/nt, IIRC.
