Remember at JetBlue everyone is equal. Can you imagine if they treated us like they treat the FAs.

Btw in the JCBA the time of checkin for non rev needs to be eliminated at JetBlue. Either it needs to be seniority based or pilots and their families need to fly at a higher status than other work groups.

Absolutely zero reason my family should be behind a ramper that was hired yesterday just bc the ramper checked in exactly 24hrs prior and we clicked the mouse slower.

No, I do not think that was a typo by him. We can go negative in our sick bank. I know a lot of guys that hang out in negative sick bank territory.

Can I imagine? Honestly im expecting that to be the culture we walk into. Seems there isnt too much clamoring for change from the pilot side over there if there is the acceptance of things like plane cleaning, sick call followups on dependability policy, travel policy, etc. The ol "trade board is just a nice as drop red/green without limitations" mentality.

Forget about the days where we finish a day, walk off the plane, hop in the private car for the hotel. Seems JBLU pilots and their FAs stay at the same place a lot, from what my friend says, a lot of "waiting around" for the passengers to deplane so you can wait for the FAs to take the ride to the hotel.

lets be honest though most of our “car services” and a lot of hotels could use an upgrade

Not sure where you're staying but we have great hotels here.... Third party car services are another story.

Agreed on the nonrev issues. Jetblue's setup is completely unfair for workgroups who legally aren't allowed on the internet while at work. Good ole B6 always having to do things different.
