You guys agreed to fly the 190 for those rates. No one else forced you to do it.

THAT is true. That wasn't a horrible deal in 2003.

For flying aircraft up to 99 seats it was a horrible deal.

Well....two things come to my mind:

JetBlue is not a "career" airline, IMHO.

That 4 year RAH CA has one kinda, sorta, important advantage....TT PIC time.

Wait, isn't JetBlue a major and republic a regional? Of course FO's at a major should make more than CA's at a regional.

Messed up a little? A little? $37 max an hour to fly the right seat of a 99 seat airplane is messed up a little!?! OI!!!!! If a union is going to negotiate a payrate, regardless of whether they expect to get the airplane or not, FO pay needs to be on par with rest of the industry. $37 an hour max FO pay for a 99 seat airplane in 2003 was way more then a little messed up.

Really...does there need to be a "mine is bigger than yours" thread when B6's payrates are already posted in another thread?

Like regionals, I think many JetBlue guys will make B6 their final resting spot. Especially those who were furloughed from a Legacy after 9/11 and went to JetBlue. Many are near the top or at least on the A320 holding a nice schedule.

it's called informing the masses my friend. And if you have any intentions to get paid what you deserve on that 900, I would let it happen and be very happy for this information to get out there.
