If you want to go from any other blue city to Hawaii you can connect via a JetBlue flight to LAX. This is good business, but somehow pilots are soo smart that we can force management to operate a certain way and buy a new aircraft type. Again labor trying to hamstring management into a business strategy...that type of CBA thinking will ruin the airline over time.

There were no major snow storms (minus the "not our fault" BDL flights), no major thunderstorm days, maybe one hurricane for 2011.
I know wall street can be finicky, but I hope the report is positive.

For breakfast we provide you with a continental breakfast of vacation and sick time data. After breakfast a mid morning hike around the lake to CBA'ville where we discuss the finer points including legal support and representation. For lunch, on our retirement sponsored outdoor porch, we discuss and analyze ERISA and it effects on your retirement. Afternoon activities include boating and skiing through insurance benefits/LTD/STD/LOL and finally for dinner we have a 7 course spread covering pay, benefits, 5 documents, retirement, sick/vacation and retirement.
A trip to Lake Alice is a chance to learn and experience the information out there to help you make a more informed career decision going forward. Please sign up and visit. Spots are going fast. Knowledge and facts are being absorbed now!

They want better things too (everyone does, it's human nature).
Yeah, what this guy says!

JetBlue has conditioned you to think cost control, cost creep, we are all equal, organic growth, manage expectations. They slipped this announcement in, touted it and convinced you it isn't what it appears and you bought it.
Again, read the first paragraph.

I am one of the guys in the pool. I just renewed my FAA medical. Does anyone know who would be best to call to update this information?

I wouldn't think it would be necessary. When you get to class and get a computer you will update it yourself. Not sure it would be applicable information to HR since you are already in phase II.
