If I may vouch for rightside02, he is a real good guy, and goes out of his way to help others. I hope any JetBlue people here help him out.

People that do not have that much a chance to leave? RJ FO's?

It's not necessarily an RJ FO. It's a selection process which targets a background more inclined to believe an ideal. Can you fly a plane, yes. Do you have any skeletons, no. Are you willing to believe in a set of values to govern your employment? If yea then you meet the criteria.

The issue is the value system at JetBlue is one sided. While you will be asked to use this value system as a basis for your employment management acts on the basis of a bottom line only. Hence the reductions in nearly every measurable category.

At the beginning of this airline this value system meant something and was abided by both sides. Today things are different as evident in the latest PVC emails. Diciplinary action is up while request for better contractual protections are down. The latest coo conference call was very telling. Important issues like health care or better protections are left out of the PEA solely to allow management to change them at will.

Hey Debbie downer is back... Wah Wah Wah. All the other threads where you like to constantly complain and spread you negative views must be slow. I feel sorry for anyone that has to fly with this guy.

I'm not sure why you feel this way? Is your life this bad? Is working at JetBlue that bad? If so I am sorry for you. Must not be that bad if your still here? Where would you rather go?

*The reason that disciplinary action is up is a lack of professionalism as stated in the PVC email. There are plenty of examples of that and you know it. I guess the pilots are heading toward rock bottom to as far as values are concerned? Not sure what you read? Maybe you should read it again.
*COO call was very telling? I listen to it each month. What was so telling? The fact that there will be more growth than previously stated? Many new cities to come? Extra airframes than the 14? The PEA stuff is being worked on.......

The value system of who the pilots or manangement? Or are you only holding management accountable while all of us JB pilots are out "walking on water"?

Management is running an airline. The value system is not being reduced. Talk to all those were affected by Sandy and how much not only JB did as well as the crewmembers too.

Have you ever been furloughed? Have you ever been jobless? What is SO bad about this job that you think it is getting worse and worse and it is so bad that you are willing to stay?

I personally enjoy this job and this airline. Well worth the wait! I also enjoy the direction this airline is going, unlike many other carriers! Things continue to get better here everyday. Some people you can never make happy...EVER!

Good look to future JB pilots! To the new ones welcome aboard great to have you here!

The company is quite comfortable with turnover provided its not within the 1-3 year pilot demographic.

So are your leaving as well?

Keep listening to those conference calls and what the COO tells you. Then do yourself a favor and call your PVC rep and find out what the disciplinary action is about. While speaking to them ask them what the company is actually doing about fixing the PEA. Ask them whats the companies real opinion is as opposed to the spin you are provided on a conference call. Get the real facts from the pilots you elected. Or just keep your hear buried in the sand.
