One of the questions that they ask is if you ever spam message boards in search of answers which are clearly there already.

 

Seriously, I just lol'd

 

I think I saw the list on the Jetblue hiring thread a few days back.
Its a basic chat to see if you speak english and still want to work at 3/4 of a major and tolerate horrible medical coverage and reserve rules that rival the "best" regionals.
Seriously, just relax and be cordial- they want to hire you as they're going to face some serious staffing issues in 6-12 months.
Good luck.

 

Hey guys I have an interview coming up. on the PRIA forms do they want 5years or 10 on employment history. Thanks

 

I am frustrated as everyone else on how long this taking and want it done yesterday. But I am not going to accept a crap CBA just for the sake of signing a CBA. The NC could have sent us a crap one a year ago if they wanted to.

However, explain to me how the company is dragging this out? Did you expect them to go "OMG they have ALPA, where do we sign on the new contract"? The company has a responsibility to its shareholders to negotiate responsibly just as ALPA has the same responsibility to the pilot group.

The company has agreed to extra days.
The company has shown up prepared.
The company has continued to negotiate in good faith.
The have not given LBFO's yet.
The NC and the company continue find middle ground on issues.

IF they were truly try to make this take as long as possible they wouldn't be doing the above and the would have issued the LBFO's and walked out of the room.

 

No they would agree to the above and wait for mediation so they can continue to save hundreds of millions. It comes down to incentive.
When the planes are unstaffed or in danger of being so, theyll actually agree to industry standard. That or endless picketing/strike vote.
Tell me why they want a CBA again?

 

Anyone else from the February interview sessions seeing any progress? I understand some still from January haven't received any updates as well. Just trying to get a lay of the land for this week.

 

Feb 1st 0730 interview, received phase two complete welcome to the pool email today. No class date yet. Just FYI, I had to hold GIS's hand to get my Air carrier PRIA paperwork completed. Reccomend you call them frequently. Good luck

 

Thanks. I'll give them a call right now actually and follow-up again. As far as I know, from a previous phone contact, GIS is all done with my packet.

**edit: Just got off the phone with GIS and I was told they forwarded my packet off to JetBlue. Woman on the phone wouldn't tell me when but - alrighty - at least its out of that status, I guess.

 

Does GIS do PRIA or does JetBlue do it themselves?
