He never really experienced NOT being in the top percent. I commend him for his service and sacrifice, his getting lucky with his timing and his mil leave, and his ability to spend time with and provide for his family. I wish all jetblue pilots had that ability, and from our perspective here, our experiences have been vastly different than his.
I can't argue with anything you said. I was gone for several years. I am retired military. I always said that I'm thankful for the lucky timing I fell into, having nothing to do with skill or intelligence. And I too wish all JB pilots significantly increase their $ and QOL with a market rate contract. And soon! Now, back to the OP's original topic.....I'll gladly continue to debate JB stuff on our own board.... |

For the Jetblue pilots:
I understand that your PTO is a vacation/sick combo. Does this incentivize guys to fly sick? If someone is selling back all their PTO at a premium are they a super human that doesn’t get sick or is there another bank for sick time? You do have the ability to take UTS, which is unpaid sick time. So you won't get paid for that pairing you drop. What guys who have enough PTO will do, is UTS, then sell back the PTO to make up for that trip. For instance, if you're dropping a FL turn that's worth 6 hours. Guys who have the PTO will UTS that trip, then they can sell back 4 hours of PTO. That way they will only get 4 hours of PTO taken out of their bank (paying 6 hrs--equal to that dropped trip) as opposed to taking PTS (paid sick time) where they'd have to use 6 hours of PTO. Does that make sense? |

BD. Keep your JB hating to the JB board. Your act is tiring.
Is that clear enough? |

Take your JetBlue defending and shove it up your rear. You have it great here, the rest of us don't and the rest of this industry is sick and tired of us dragging down the professional average compensation for major airline pilots.
Is that clear enough? Feel free to respond to me on the JB board or send me a PM so you don't keep clouding up this thread. Or, if you have the balls, come tell me about your anger to me face to face at the picketing event. I'll be one of the organizers. |
I'm sorry you don't like me telling the true reality for most of us here right now.
