Yes sir its no joke, wish I had known this before coming I would have taken another opportunity that had presented itself. Hey, if I can change one person's outlook and make them think twice then I did my job. Seriously, my garbage man has better healthcare benefits, really think about that for a second............................. ok a second passed and its still awful. If you come here to get out of a regional and are waiting for the delta's or united's of the world to call then ok, but if you think this is the end all be all then I'm talking directly to you.

The things people are telling you is reality, you might not like that or even want to hear it but I seriously wish I had not wasted my time with jb. You only have so much time on earth to be away from home, family and events so it needs to be worth your while. You need to be paid well, you need the very best insurance, long term disability, short term disability and you deserve a nice retirement. Not asking to break the bank, just a nice package for the value that you are giving the company that's all. I think expecting certain things for your sacrifices is only fair considering the value that you are giving up and that is not happening and hence the reason you see so many complaints.

For those waiting patiently in the pool, looks like you might get a call soon.
We just had a bid award posted, and looks like we have 65 Current vacancies post award. Good luck to everyone.

I noticed a net of 82 openings, 17 A320 and 65 E190. I'm not sure if the last few classes offset that number or not.

More than that:

17 JFK 320 FO
32 BOS E90 FO
33 JFK E90 FO

This should clean out the pool for sure

Why so few new 320 openings? Is it because of current 190 guys moving to the 320?

Yes. There was no 190 to 320 FO movement on the last few bids so several have been waiting.

Isn't there about 130 in the pool? I guess we're hopefully assuming plenty of bypassing with other jobs/deployment. Good news for an 80's guy like me:-)

A lot of guys will be leaving just as soon as they are able. You can trust me on that!
