Drats, you caught me. I thought I had everyone fooled when I pretended to be looking over the TA as it pertained to my take-home income, retirement, quality of life and risk exposure in regards to LTD and scope. But you’re a slick one; all I really cared about was hosing a newhire!

Uhh why no training in the right seat? All FOs start out there anyway when they get on the line. Also what exactly is AQP? Isnt it train to proficieny instead of a whole FAA rating ride?
Weekend warrior here so be kind.

Because your getting a PIC type rating and (correct me if I'm wrong) the training syllabus and program are specified that way too.

You can get PIC typed irrespective of which seat you train from. But you are correct about the syllabus. It's archaic and in the process of being changed.

It didn’t fall short of JB’s AIP. To fall short would imply that JB had an AIP. They didn’t. They also didn’t have as much to improve as we did.

No foresight or self worth. You accepted numerous concessions for what is essentially JetBlue current rates plus $1-$2. Knowing full and well that they were inline for large raises.

Correct....you can in both seats and why I included the part of the syllabus where it defines how the FAA approved training is conducted (which seat)

It’s pretty easy for you to judge others since you moved on you seem very obsessed with a contract that you didnt vote on that has no affect on you. Seriously you’re more ****ed off than the no voters on here.
