It is almost cheaper to DIE than go to an ER with Jetblue.

The average cost of a funeral is just over $6000.

An ER visit with Jetblue will easily cost you $5300.

If only it wasn't true.

As people who travel we don't always have a choice of hospitals.

If you injure yourself at home you can request the ambulance take you, within reason, to a different hospital. If you get sick on the road you have no choice but to go where they take you. Welcome to suck I think is the phrase.

I never thought of that. What if you are in Santo Domingo or one of those places and you get sick? Yikes

$2500/mo pay while in MCO, hotel is paid for (single occupancy), roughly 6.5weeks from day 1 to leaving the schoolhouse. After training you usually have a period of time (3 days to 2 weeks+) before you start your Initial Operating Experience, where you fly with a check airman and he teaches you how to operate the plane out in the real world. During this time you will need to have a crashpad set up in your base if you dont live there, so start looking for crashpads when you are nearing the end of sim training.

After your final sim checkride I believe you go on 70hrs flight pay per month, then youll probably be on reserve and move up to 75hrs when you finish IOE. Year 1 pay is $47/hr

Uniforms are completely paid for. 5 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, belt, 2 ties, leather jacket or blazer.

The training experience down in Orlando is a good one. Enjoy it, make friends with your classmates and instructors you come in contact with. It is a very relaxed atmosphere and everyone wants you to suceed.
Helps if you have an awesome sim partner.

Eh, poolies! The system bid results are out and it looks like 75-80 openings for now through may 1st. Plan on getting the 190. Many guys are done with the seat lock and transfering to the 320.

GoodLuck havefun

So how do aircraft assignments and base assignments work for new hires? I know seniority in class is based on age, but do you choose from what is available when you get to school? Or do you bid prior to getting to school?

Day 1 you chose base/equip right after the initial sign in process. Oldest gets to chose from available slots, and youngest gets whatever is left
