Or maybe this is the fact that the airlines are working to further erode the respectability and pay of the profession. Look at how the VA just today announced they are going to be using more Nurses with the ability to write prescriptions. (as if somehow prescriptions were the solution to every ailment) Doctors disagree with this practice but of course, they are not being listened to by management. A terrible VA is just about to get even worse!

My opinion
So the resentment is quite understood, from my understanding JB wants the guys to learn the JB way from get go. Training at most schools is 6-7 months, JB training is 15+mos, then mandated 1500 hrs or 24mos at CAE whichever is LONGER, then class date for next available for FO training so about 5 yrs all together, similar to the regional path just about. If you did training at GA flight school, you'll be in regionals by year 3 then 4-5 yrs to major and that's a very optimistic outlook. This program saves you maybe 3-4 yrs half of which is spent on reserve and hot reserve at regional anyways. With most regionals now having flow thru to major without interview str8 class date, JB is simply gearing up to have a guaranteed pilot supply starting late 2021 and there on, 24 cadets per year and the rest hired from pool, 125k is a very hefty price tag but it's an investment in yourself just like you'd take a student loan for any specialized degree. There are pros and cons to every path and different opinions from different perspectives, I guess in 15 yrs the , now new cadets, would be resentful against cadets whose training would be sponsored by the airline and the, now older generation, cadets paid OOP. But I know this, going forward, this will be the way of training pilots, majors paying, bond signed for employment, pilot employed at regional and flow thru to major in 5 yrs or so. Gotta be !!

Absolutely the worst thing that is happening. Will it be worth it to spend all that money to never touch the controls of an airline? We are still trying to get this abysmal program shut down. Hopefully with our new CBA it will address this in some way. maybe anyone that comes through the program gets put on a B scale pay wise at 15$ an hour. That should shut it down. So if you want to gamble go ahead but we will know who the specials are.

That's a huge ($125,000.00) gamble. What if JB isn't JB in 4 years? What if you don't make it? Do you get any type of refund at any point along the way if you opt out? Will you get any health benefits during your 4 years of training?
Don't expect any respect from your peers for choosing this path. GP This program it isn't for me as 4-years is a huge period of time. But for those that come thru, I feel they should have nothing but the utmost respect. I don't understand for real your and many other peer's point. |

I don't understand why a pilot graduated from this program shouldn't be respected. By any mean is an easy way, at all!
