Actually quite the contrary Lake. It appears the truth is hurting you. Although Benz has you beat, it's killing him.

Starting to see the cracks?

Good luck, and I hope you get to class soon.

Why would the pecking order change? I have a few buddies in the pool and they have not heard any news of a change. Has someone from JB called y'all to tell you how you will be put in class? My buddies have told me it is based on the date and time you interviewed, which seems pretty fair to me.

War Eagle!

Really? Not a desirable job anymore? Maybe you haven't noticed all the poolies eagerly awaiting a class date or thousands of resumes we get. If YOU and BENEATENASS don't desire the job anymore, quit.

I'm jot usually in the "if you don't like it,quit" camp. But for you and the other tool, I will make an exception.

Unfortunately. Disappointing to say the least. Hopefully I can be put in a position to help fix the cracks and make this company what i believe it is.

Morale? Its just the tip of the iceberg but hey, as the DR crowd will tell you "if you don't like then just quit."

From what I hear from UACAL (upcoming TA) and DAL, next 6 months will be interesting in pilots movements. I'm sure, that once the flood gets are open, all of you will get a call, and B6 JBU will be struggling to get guys through the training fast enough since there are few instructors from UA recall list going back. B6 will have to do something to keep pilots on the property and offer more incentives for pilots to see the light in the "orgasmic" growth tunnel.

Here is the perfect example if what Bluedrivers jetblue is like.

Jetblue sponsors a program called Wings for Autism. While the project is worthy Jetblue refuses to provide any insurance for pilots with children who have Autism. Jetblue is more than happy to receive many accolades in its support of this difficult condition yet it provides ZERO support for its employees who's children are suffering.
A pilot I recently spoke with spends upwards of $7000 per month providing care for his child while Jetblue spends countless amounts of dollars in the public eye only.

This is reality at Jetblue.

This is the reality bluedriver and the other ignorant anti-union proponents don't want you to hear about. Bluedriver and the rest are more than happy to keep their collective heads buried in the sand while many of our pilots struggle.

Ask bluedriver how other pilots on disability are doing. Ask him for some of their stories. Ask him how they are being treated.
