County jail and state prison okay. Federal requires a review in phase II.

Gateway 8 is the official name of the "Prison to Pilot Program." Or, Triple P in management circles.

I have gripes. The operation is complete sh*t right now. I also give credit where credit is due. I've already explained this in my previous posts so I'm not going to explain it again.

-Bubs.

Honestly, I don't give two sh*ts if empower saves the company money. What it ALSO did was save you and I money. That is a win for us.

All of T.Rowe Price's fees (excluding their two vanguard funds) are 40-80 basis points per year (0.4%-0.8%). That's garbage. With $100,000 in your 401k T.Rowe Price costs you $400-800 per year.

Empower's fees are no more than 10-20 basis points (0.01%-0.02%) on any of their funds. Including their actively managed target date funds because they're all Vanguard. So that same $100,000 401k only costs you $100-200 annually for the same market returns.

This isn't a ra-ra JetBlue post. Let's just be real about the change to Empower and the benefits for us it entails.

And make sure you only have 1 off-airport landing. Thats what got me through Phase II.

We work for a dishonest company that some of you defend tirelessly. Its important to point out the few good aspects of B6, but there's plenty to critique.
Dont hurt yourselves.

The supposed reason for the slow down is the delay of the A/C reconfiguration. Thats what the FAs are being told. Who knows.
I want a white pilot shirt so I hope an Airline buys this dumpster fire

I'm not shooting the messenger, but that makes zero sense. The cabin refresh program would take planes offline, so if they cancel the program then we'd have more planes than originally planned and need more frontline staff than planned.

Actually...yep that all sounds about right for JB
