For the record, that 8% "raise" actually still resulted in a pay cut when adjusted for profit sharing reduction and inflation.

Anyhow, they've already lost goodwill from me going into the summer. I bid minimum credit, not pick up RSA (personal status quo) and will focus my energy on enjoying life outside of Blue and updating my AirlineApps account each week. I was on the fence, but with no TA coming soon it's time to weigh anchor and try to escape.

Same here- Ive saved $ for bidding min credit and even a strike fund. I havent picked up an RSA since 2014 and will leave if given the opportunity.
I know guys will always chase the money, but I wont vilify another for increasing their income.
Im curious if the B6 defenders have updated Airline Apps or are they putting their future in the hands of B6 and a CBA in '18.

Pack a parachute guys.

Here is why I can't recommend JetBlue at this time. This just about sums up our operation. Painful to watch...viewer discretion is advised.

Wow that was tough to watch... maybe they are busy making videos instead of answering phones while I'm waiting for a hotel for hours during an irop...

This was truly hard to watch... I've been in that building and room . And I would want a fun culture in any work environment I'm min for my self and others.

But this takes it to a whole other level . I can't imagine the reason why money spent on things like this and other initiatives as well as that quarterly magazine that comes out to crew members, itsjust blowing money down the drain. Just think the positions that are held to make that magazine published .

This was rough to watch

To be perfectly honest I could not finish watching it. I think my brain started to actually shrink. I don't know if I should call 911 right now or just grab a protein drink!

Grab a protein drink? The only thing I'd be grabbing would be a barf bag, and I don't even work at JB.

Honestly with production value like that, it probably didn't cost anything extra. I think the point was "get comfy during IROPs because you're going to be working all night" for customer support.

Excruciatingly awkward to watch... but otherwise whatever.
