A propensity to be pedantic is the theme of this thread.

So we are growing at a variable rate and upgrades are around 5-6 years considering all factors right NOW. Phewwwww...that was hard.

I finished training in mid-October, finished IOE week of Thanksgiving, sat Reserve for December, January, and February. I was awarded a line for March. I also noticed my company seniority number went up 19 numbers in the past 5 weeks. I'm guessing guys are quitting/getting recalled, etc.

IOE is a minimum of 25 hours. After that, you have 120 days to hit the 100 hour mark to complete your Consolidted Knoweledge and Skills requirement (FAA Requirement for AQP), and then have to rack another 25 hours to get out of High Mins. Sitting Reseerve sucks (as we all know), and if you don't get your 100 hours in the 120 day block, they send you back to Orlando, which is a *****, so beg your Chief Pilot to fly, which is what I had to do. Sorry, but I don't sit on my ass and wait for the schedulers to put me on a trip, or roll the dice in Flica. I have since been praised for preventing myself from going back to Orlando.

Word of advice to all the future bluepilots! Good luck and welcome aboard.

Here is the deal. JetBlue has an offer on the table for a merger or acquisition. The board has given our ELT a chance to get the stock price up, or the merger or acquisition will take place. I do not know the time frame, nor do I know whom the partner will be. I will not / can not disclose the source, so please do not ask. I also do not know if this will benefit those of us currently on property; that depends on the other company and what is negotiated by our management and/or our committee.

Would JetBlue be the buyer? Or the one being bought? Hmm...

Yeah I know a guy, who knows a guy, who once said hi to Barger in the hall and he told him that we are probably going to be sold...rightttttt. He would only give this info to a select line pilot Could your post be any more vague?

I would venture that since you are trading at nearly 21 times earnings, you need to earn more, or that ain't gonna happen.

There aren't too many airlines who have the market cap to buy JetBlue but almost all will have equal or better pay and better benefits and retirement.

That being said it would be nice if bluejet could fix those issues.

On yeah, I highly doubt an obscure message board would be the first quotable source for an airline merger.
