Oh look, Hyperboy helping JetBlue recruit pilots again. Just can't help yourself can you. JetBlue not being able to staff the airline is one of the only points of contract negotiations leverage we could have, but you choose the airline over your fellow pilots. Again. UN-F#$+&NG-REAL.

JetBlue is obviously on the fast track to making life better for pilots and for making compensation on par with our peers.

Pray to whatever you find holy that you never need to use the insurance for anything serious.
Checked out the link and I don't see an option for Domestic Partner. They did mention something about Grandfathered Domestic Partner Plans coming to an end in Jan/18. Guessing you can't add one anymore?

That's another "enhancement" this year. You gotta get married like the rest of us now. No more "domestic partner"

Being New York's gay airline I'm surprised they are getting rid of domestic partners on the insurance.

Letting every Tom Dick and Harry have a "partner" costs money.

Leveling the playing field... everyone has to pay to play.

Even at NY gayest airline...



Remember that newbs and hopefuls. You'll get a lesson in sexual "tolerance" straight (no pun intended) from work on a regular basis. Because sexual preference is part of work... apparently... now...

Why you'll even be solicited to "volunteer" to show your pride.

for the record I couldn't care any less about whos doin who why or where... I just don't really think it should be part of anything to do with the work environment.

Pretty spot on. Just hit 3rd year pay. I'm standing at DFW getting ready to commute and an Envoy rep asks if I'm happy at B6 and tries to recruit me. Says it will ,"probably be a pay cut but you'll be at AA in 6 years." Uh yeah, it's a pay cut. But ironically, a year ago it honestly was not far off.

Are we allowed to add to this list?

  • Training pay slashed to $2000/month from $2700/month because you get to stay at the awesome Lodge and eat cafeteria food.
  • No more $6,000 bonus after your 1st year.
  • Hotel locations/quality on the decline. Who doesn't love a 28 hr layover by the airport?
  • Putting more unpaid responsibilities and duties on pilots.
I could go on and on... The fact is, JetBlue might be classified as a major airline. They are not! I had better stuff at my previous regionals.


For anyone applying, I encourage you to talk to current JB pilots when you see them on layovers or airports to get the real truth, unless they are not wearing an ALPA lanyard, then just ignore them!
