We just had a supplemental system bid come out with about a dozen E190 FO openings. I suppose there will be newhires headed to fill those spots soon. All training for the bid is to be completed by 1/1/13, so that would be newhire classes in Sep-Oct time frame.

Hearing guys are getting called for class. Anyone verify this?

 

[Smarta$$]

Haven't heard that yet, but is possible. Hope so.

You are crazy if you take these slots unless you are out of a job and can't find one out of aviation.

Really? You're not even remotely believable.

If I were a Captain at a regional, I wouldn't make the move to jetBlue right now.

We've all seen the seniority calculator. A new hire right now is realistically looking at 20 years in the right seat, the worst medical benefits, the worst retirement benefits, and the worst disability benefits, with none of the quality of life "schedule enhancing techniques" that made this place bearable 5 or 6 years ago, oh... and virtually no M&A protections.

If you make the move to come here, I'd bet you'd probably rather get hired at DAL, FDX, UAL, or UPS. Why should they take a pay cut when they can keep their pay and just wait it out at their regional?

The only people that I can say "ok... that move makes sense" is the Comair folks. They have a reason to make the move if they can.

Next month marks 10 years at B6 for me.
I completely agree with Splert.

That's their solution - they're not hiring anyone that can make a move to a legacy. SJS is alive an well at Bluejet.
