Re:hybrid lines


In general you can trade and pick up like a lineholder. Can't do much with your RSV days though. Overall it's pretty good.

So a few quick observations for those considering JB, I've been here about 6 months. Previous I was an 11yr RJ CA.

1. JB is not an on time airline, nor do they claim to be. Almost all of your flights will be late. Some by a little, some by a lot.

2. Scheduling will push you harder than your regional, but will relent if you put up a fight.

3. Everyone really is happy that you at JB and will go out of their way to make that point.

4. Relations between the company and the pilot group are a bit frayed at the moment and IMO the tone of our MEC is very belligerent.

5. Given the trend of the industry, pay is low, especially training pay.

6. I'm happy here and have no apps in elsewhere.

7. I enjoyed my time at the lodge.

Belligerent is a pretty big exaggeration and I think disrespectful to the hard work our MEC has done. I've found all their emails professional.

Funny most of my flights are on time. Those that ARE are late by <5 minutes. I do a LOT of red eyes though!!!!! Maybe that's it. Are you on the 190?

I've never had scheduling "push" me.....not once in almost 2 years.

I don't think our MEC is belligerent. I think they just call out mgmt on occasion. Mgmt hasn't had anyone do that before BTW.

Agree on all other points though.

I certainly appreciate all the hard work our MEC has done and the only reason I applied here was because the the outcome of the vote, however, this is not my first airline that is negotiating a TA and when I'm inundated with he said she said emails from the union and the company about an individual who was terminated over 'reliabilty' I think it's wasted energy on both ends .

Yes I'm on the 190, and I've had several flights run 6+ hours late

Apparantly I ****ed someone off, who I guess later deleted their post because I can't see it. Unlike some people, I don't carry my company issued iPad with me wherever I go on my days off, and happened to not be around when I got awarded the hybrid and trading opens tomorrow. Thanks for the guys who came out in my defense. Yes, I guess I could carry the books with me wherever I go, but I choose not to. Thanks again to the guys who threw out some simple easy answers to my not difficult question.

Love the perspective of the FNG who's been online less than 4 months and during a few major IROPs. CLASSIC!

Oh and don't forget to write your rep about their belligerence, I'm sure they'd love to hear your opinion.

Thanks for sharing!

And in other news....

Anyone interested in knowing what it's really like at JB, completely disregard this post.

Amen.
