Let's hope for your sake, hiring will start up in the near future. good luck to you.

 

No need to clarify Mike. You were trying to sugar coat the deal and that was blatantly obvious the first time!

 

I'm thinkin' they'll go to a real airline that flys real mainline aircraft, for real mainline rates. These airlines have real employment protection, real health insurance, real captains authority, and are really treated like the professionals we are.

I'm swimming in a pool and as soon as I get tossed the life ring, I'll be out of this dive. Some poor soul can take my place, they just better prepare themselves for dissapointment, or look it as a "major-regional" job that is great until you can land a gig at a REAL major airline.

Unless you're a top seniority BUS CA this place is simply a stepping stone and it's a stepping stone with no protection from any UNION. Hold all the value committee elections you want, I'll take a CBA any day.

Please vote next time around.

I know a lot of B6 guys who have resumes out there or are just waiting for the call. Given their experience level, I think anyone looking to move to another major has a very good chance of doing so when things turn around.

I do wish you the best of luck, I hope you find what your looking for. btw I have heard of one of our pilots that left and went to Delta and regrets leaving every day. But I am sure you have a friend with a similar story and has never looked back.

 

Apparently he's looking for a "career" airline.

First off, cool it w/ the attitude, you don't have a group contract. The one you are referring to has no definitions, job protection, work rules, scheduling agreements (FAR's do not count), pay scale (that can't be changed w/o negotiating), reduction in force policy, etc... built into it.

All I was saying was don't expect retro w/o a contract (CBA), they didn't have to agree with that at all. You guys and gals are getting retro and I think that is a fantastic thing. It is also good to see JB mgt seems to have integrity, a trait most mgt's do not.

 

Hi!

You mean like switching to DAL?

How about this?
I have a freind at NWA, who said, a while back, obviously, that while NWA was OK, I should go somewhere better like DAL.
Then, a DAL friend told me I should not apply there, as it was terrible, and I should go somewhere good like CAL.
One of my friends at CAL told me he wishes he had stayed at NetJets.
One of my friends at NetJets is leaving for another flying job.
Another guy said Allegiant was awful.
Another that Cathay was terrible.
On the web I have read numerous guys saying that Emirates is horrible, and then a bunch of Qatar guys saying that their airline is terrible, and Emirates is way better.

So, where do we go to find a great "Career" place again?

Maybe if you are happy, then you will like your current job pretty well, and if you are always complaining, you will always complain, not matter where you work.
Oh, and that reminds me, I have heard from PLENTY of UPS and FedEx guys about how terrible their jobs are!

PS-I like my job pretty well, and JetBlue would be 10 times better, at least! No more 150+ day trips!

 

It's all down to how good your contract is. Period!

 

Dude I have 0% attitude, thats such a problem with forums you can read into my context. I was simply trying to clear up a misconseption about JB pilot contracts.
