Word is Jetblue plowing through negotiations. 19 yes 19 days scheduled over the next two months

 

Want to have some fun, go on the JetBlue thread and say that.

 

Jetblue's biggest issue is going to be getting their pilot group unified. Talking to friends over there, there are the hardcore company juicers, the pro-union guys and those that are still working under old PEA's with different pay rates. It sounds like a mess.

 

Damn I joked about getting a fresh thread a few days ago and here it is already. I wonder if my crack about all the APC bickering speeding up the CBA process means a TA in a few days too? 😏

 

I checked the latest seniority list versus the latest vacancy bid and the junior guy had a difference of almost 80 numbers and the most junior captain had a difference of almost 30. Is something askew between the two lists or is there that much attrition?

 

Its clear that the company, or just DT, dropped the ball BIG TIME on the list and had no idea it wasnt published by the deadline on the 10th.

So NCCs started to file in (congrats to those who took the time to submit a NCC) and the question was asked "why no list?" Company then knee jerked out an existing list, full of errors, with the pathetic "Guess some of you didnt get this, we sent it on the 10th." Lies lies lies...nobody got it, it was never sent.

So now we are on revision 3 of the list and it still isnt correct.

Maybe someone can explain to me why GM and VC are on the seniority list when it was decided, in arbitration, that International Chief Pilot and Fleet Chief Pilot are the same as Easter Bunny and Santa when it comes to official positions, they aren't. Off the list and don't ever think of flying a yellow Spirit Airbus...

 

Is the Scab still on the list and how has the flying with him been?

 

I've been wondering about this discrepancy for a while now too.

Is the Flica seniority list based on those eligible to bid (minus pilots on med or FMLA or other leaves)? And the published seniority list includes everyone?

What is the difference between the two list?

 

Flica List and Seniority List are different.

Flica only contains "All Eligible Bidders" I believe.

Not including those out on Medical or some other form of Leave.

Seniority List has everybody.

From what I recall.

 

FLICA shows #1063 as eligible for a system bid and I know for a fact that he's out on medical. I don't understand why there's a difference. My difference is 24 numbers between the two lists.
