I've NEVER met you. You have me mixed up with someone else.

After having flown both planes I can say the 190 guys are self-deprecating and use the “JetBlue Express” joke much more than the 320 guys. I was guilty as well, but it was all in fun. Believe me, the 320 guys have lots of their own problems to make fun of! Drastic difference in crews 
Hah, joking. Honestly I got tired of the left seat bus guys that:
1. Deliberated busted minimums on a VOR approach in IMC.
2. Wanted to takeoff on a transcon with landing fuel showing 3.5 (“we’ll make it up enroute!”)
3. Asking if we could bunk in the same room in the DR and use the other to party with some prostitutes.
4. Did an “overhead break” circle down (just like the carrier apparently) into Santiago , DR in marginal wx
5. Ask me to taxi the aircraft from the right seat from gate to runway at JFK so he could eat his salad.
6. Asked if my wife and I might me interested in swinging.
7. Filled up 3 Dasini bottles with urine in cruise while standing behind me because inflight was , “taking too long.”
Joking again! It’s the 190 pay bump! I’m rich!

I went from right seat 320 to left 190 recently. I guess I got tired of weekends and holidays off and figured why not screw that up.

Fair profit sharing should be the easiest decision for management to make.
1. It motivates all your employees to do the "little things" that make the company successful.
2. You only pay it if you are making money.
Other companies offer it because it makes GOOD BUSINESS SENSE.
Then there's our ELT geniuses watching as all our numbers get worse YOY.
Hey Management, when the time comes that you really need us it's going to cost more to get us back on the "team" than had you just shared in the first place.

Oh I get it. But it's very short term thinking to hollow out your company, and pi$$ of literally all your employees. Its almost like they don't see a future for Jetblue and are trying to cash out...

Just DON’T EVER touch the speed brakes if you find yourself with #4. Because, “speedbrakes are for ##ssies and should never be used.” Hmmm, can’t seem to find them in the abnormal/emergency section of the QRH. We’re high! No memory items, QRC. No QRC. Aircraft high and fast ECAM actions. Nope, not there either.
