Healthcare, hotels, insurance, 401K mgmt, etc.

A company called sterling used to do the background checks. We were told this new company would be faster and more efficient. Turns out they are probably just cheaper.

I never called sterling once. My check was done without any intervention from me and in a timely manner. Some didn't have that experience, but this new company blows.

This is every lifecycle at jetblue now. "Hey...we're switching cause this is better"
Actually if you go back and look everybody was complaining about Sterling and how the were so slow and never got back with you. Now JB switched to this because of those stories.....

Why is it that you are asked little, if any, questions about aviation during the interview?

Warning signs.

What do you want them to ask?....The obvious ...."Why do they call you the Ace of the base?" followed by "How did you hone your skills of walking on water?" and in closing......

What makes you the greatest pilot....ever?

Jetblue rarely changes status quo due to anything but lower cost- btw, you were just going to list how its getting better at B6, but then you disappeared. So you were saying....?

Speaking of lower cost I thought our 401K was getting switched to Empower? When is that supposed to happen?

Why do you believe it is July? I don't believe either company or union has said anything about July.

Also keep in mind those JB numbers are for JFK. BOS 190 is pretty close to those published, but every other base/equip is much more senior.
