Lemme see, in my class that started on 11/7, that would be...none of us. 11 guys total, all high time, one military, two corp (one with a lot of international TPIC time) and the rest were regionals. I think 2 guys weren't CAs with 1000+ TPIC. However, the easily met UniCal's mins.
Just my opinion......

JetBlue pay compared to some other companies. Here is how much more on average the other companies make.
Fo. Capt
Southwest. 34%. 33%
Delta A320. 17%. 14%
Alaska. 7%. 7%
Delta 717. 10%. 6%
American 737. -2%. 1%
Continental. -13% -7%
American A319. -14% -13%
United A320. -17% -15%
US Air AWA. -17% -15%
Virgin. -13% -16%
Southwest, Delta, and Alaska pay more and that's the facts. But now consider delta's monthly garuntee of 65 hours. Or consider if you got on at Southwest it will be a 15 to 20 year upgrade. Or how long it will take to get on at any of the 3 above companies. If you start JetBlue and southwest at the same time, but upgrade in half the time at JetBlue which place will you make more money? I have never done the math but I can guess which one would be higher.

Some of you JetBlue haters and complainers are so out to lunch all I can do is laugh. Two guys I know have been at American for almost 15 years. They are on reserve and make 110 hour. Buddy at united has been there over 12 and makes 109 hour. Another buddy at continental 7 years at 94 hour. So if you think JetBlue is not up to par with pay your out to lunch. You can't compare JetBlue to a cargo company that flies internationally. If you do then throw all the other cargo companies in the mix and see where the pay falls. Your also dead wrong on hiring mins. Delta does not even require an ATP. It's not like guys are going to JetBlue cause its the only place they can, they are the only ones hiring. Yeah I know delta opened window to interview in late 2013. United/cal opened there window, even though about 1500 still furloughed, good luck there. FedEx was hiring, family and friends. Southwest brought in about 140, all stuck behind the AirTran guys. The bottom line is this, compare JetBlue pay to other companies that fly the same airplane. Not delta's or united's highest pay scale, look at their lowest pay scale, cause that's where you will be. Some "legacies" have lower hiring mins. Right now, and for 2013 JetBlue is the only place hiring. You complainers are just talking out of your A**

Maruster, is that you? Don't hate JetBlue, just seriously dislike the management spin on our takeaways. Btw, I'm not that unhappy about our pay, but when I compare us to DL, I use A320 and DC9 pay scales. You know, comparable equipment and all… BTW I saw the other thread where you compared us to either WalMart or Hostess workers, that was slick chief. I'm pretty sure I have more esteem for my chosen profession, sorry you don't.
