The "culture" here is a facade - nothing more. Our company wants us to do more - clean, educate the other work groups on SOP changes, bail them out of another poorly managed IROP, etc., but they don't even want to give us an average compensation package.

I could belabor the point but I'm just going to say one thing: NOBODY is leaving a legacy carrier to come to jetblue. Why do you think that is?

All of you please do leave ASAP!! That also helps negotiations. I'm pretty sure number 14599 at any of the big 3 will be a great place to start over at age 50 ��

Good luck to you and everyone else trying to leave for better things. Can't say I blame you. I've started at the bottom way too many times over the past 10 years that I'm hoping this is the last time. I have confidence that it will be, but time will tell....

I'd ask a few guys you know over here before judging off an internet thread.

Remember, these guys have said as much...They'd prefer you don't come here because it helps our bargaining position.

How short the pilot memory is. AA was a failed carrier, what 5 years ago? Failed as in bankrupt.

Things change quickly. I have faith in our negotiating committee, I even have faith in our management team to stay profitable. That conbination leads me to believe we're in a good position for a fair contract....(in way less than 5 years).

When I see him in Ops, he always has a smile on his face.

130K is over twice the median income in the US. Yep, I get it: responsible for people's lives. So is the guy that welded the hull together on the cruise ship. Well trained? Highly educated? So are physicians assistants that make 70-100K and work 40-50 hrs a week. Perspective.
