Is the company not honoring previously awarded vacations? Mine aren’t til the latter half of the year, but last I’d heard they were going to honor them. I’m actually asking.

Jetblue is telling you that your advancement displacements supersedes any vacation you may have.

No, but when a person has an BES award then subsequently that award is cancelled during vacation bidding they are forced to bid a vacation of in a status they will never hold. The company dropped the ball so many times it’s hard to keep track.

It doesn't. There's a group of advanced training going on and they have a 7 day break because the CA had vacation previously scheduled. The bad thing is that they get they 80 hours of training pay, which they'd get anyways, but now they lose a week of vacation with no benefit.

You are correct. I misread the post. There are pilots who had booked vacations that are not being afforded additional training dates to deconflict with previously planned trips.

Well if you booked a trip and didn't take vacation over it that's a you problem, no? Advanced displacement pilots vacation weeks are being honored when their training is built.

Some pilots that had trips scheduled, outside of a vacation footprint, are having training scheduled without the ability to adjust the training date. That is what I was getting at.

Bottom line is P!ss poor planning on the companies part combined with mind numbing lever pulls has eroded QOL for many. Three displacements in 5 years. Yes we knew the 190 displacement was coming. This last one was due to inept planning combined with canceling a bid in the middle of vacation bidding. It’s too much.
