It was all hear say, someone heard from somebody type thing. I'm sure it would work in places like SJU DCA and soon to be ATL. Basically high commuter cities with flights to all our focus cities. Positive space D.H. to start your trip. Doubt you'd get paid for it, but you'd get rid of the commuter clause, stress and fewer no shows.
Edit: i'm sure have trips start out of your virtual base as well
Shall we sign off on this now? I'm good... you good?

PTO Sell Back
PTO Sell back question. Just went over 100 hours. I was told by a senior guy recently that when you sell back PTO, the company match in one of the 5/5/3 (= 8 😀
retirement percentages goes down so in the end it's almost a wash...i.e. A zero sum game and maybe better to just use PTO. I scoured the PEA and couldn't find anything on that. Any opinions?
TIA!

Here's your West Coast Expansion:
We're pleased to announce an agreement today to make a minority equity investment in JetSuite, the Californian-based private jet operator. JetSuite recently launched JetSuiteX, a public charter operation using a fleet of 33 jets outfitted with private jet-like amenities at commercial ticket prices. As a public charter operator, JetSuiteX operates out of private terminals, allowing travelers to arrive just 15 minutes ahead of departure. We believe JetSuite is changing the game in short haul air travel on the West Coast and complements JetBlue's expansion in the region, which we outlined earlier in the year. While this investment is not material from a financial disclosure standpoint, we believe it demonstrates our ongoing consideration of potentially disruptive changes to our industry, particularly in those shorter haul markets.
----
Revenue up for this last quarter, but profits down. I wonder what they're spending all the money on?
1) see above. ( notice how they don't give a % investment, just enough to get a board seat)
2) paying down debt, so a merger is less of a turd for the buyer.
3) paying for whatever bs B.S. is doing out on the West Coast.
4) paying for endless " analysis" of the operation ( see below)
So now the airline wants to be an "on-time airline", this is how Jb will do it:
1) Bathroom cleaners in front lav by :02 after block-in ( now I can't get out)
2) ALL Pax deplaned by :11 after block-in ( a320), yes ALL (G.F.L).
3) Gate agent tags and KEEPS the gate bag ( somehow the bag will make it to the end of the jetway).
Yes, please don't address the crew change problems, the 15 wheelchairs inbound from PBI, plane swap problems, the already unrealistic scheduled turn times, etc.
Rant over
-stay tuned for my next rant: Why are so many NY'ers moving to NC?-

There was never any intention to expand on the west coast after losing VX. The only thing EMT did was invent a narrative so that they looked like winners after losing and this announcement was simply dove tailed into the false narrative of a west coast expansion.

B. The Association agrees that the Company-wide changes to profit sharing, as applicable to the Pilots, do not violate any provisions of any Pilot Employment Agreement, the Flight Scheduling Manual or any other applicable agreement between the Pilots and/or the Association and the Company. The Company agrees that there will be no further changes in the profit sharing pay-out percentage pool of JetBlue’s profit (as defined in the Plan) as applied to Pilots pending negotiation of the Parties’ initial collective bargaining agreement.
From the Urgent News blast Mail on October 12:
We would make several points for those considering the terms of the LOA;
Our PEAs explicitly state that profit sharing is at the sole discretion of the Company (see PEA language below). Therefore, we have no contractual or legal basis to challenge the change. However, signing of this LOA secures a contractual protection that no other changes will occur.
