Imagine waiting until 13:00 local today to discover you have been assigned short call at 2:00 tomorrow.

That is your life until we TA an agreement in the next few weeks or years.

It's about as easy as you can get with a few caviets.

1 you cant park at Dca anymore (crew lot) thanks MWAA
2 reserve times come out late sometimes so you might have to scramble
3 the largest chunk of crewmembers that don't live in base live in the D.C. area so there are a ton of commuters.

With that said
There is an American flight every hour and we have like 10 so plenty of flights.
Tons of DCA overnights esp the 190 so you can be home often
Also many trips that start or end with a DH between the two places.
(We should open a base)

Quick question: does JetBlue have corporate discounts, such as XPlan through Ford, FedEx shipping and all of that stuff?

Anyone having communication issues with GIS? Every now and then I call to check the status, and it seems like each time I talk to them, something new or different is required. For example, a couple weeks back I was told that I was waiting on paperwork from Company B, and Company A was all set. Now I talked to them and they told me they're waiting for paperwork from both company A and B, along with paperwork for driving records, when a week or so ago I was told that was all set and processed. It sounds like the person I talk to on the phone has no real idea as to what is actually done and what isn't. I also called a previous employer myself (We had a good relationship) and spoke to someone there and they told me they never even received anything from GIS.

I just want to make sure everything is done correctly and quickly so I can get through Phase II!

I know it may seem like peeing into the wind, but you should let JB know of your concerns. We dropped the last background company for similar reasons as well as taking an erroneously long time to complete the job.

I just waited until JetBlue called me for class and did not worry about all the background stuff.......
