Guys
Please understand...I never said EK is a bad place to work
... and jetblue is great...far from that....here at JB we are small LCC
where EK is Global airline.I been to DXB and I think its fun town. All I was trying to say was what I was told by few friends... some in the left seat and some in the right...As I said I don't work there so I don't know... hiring...again not as many as EK...this year around 100 and they are calling for 220 next yr... yes I commuting short flight DC area to NY....Yes I am lucky to hold this type trip I bid I start late and finish at 6 am where I will be home on my last day.....SLEEP
here is the type a trip I do
199 JFK-LAS 2120 2338 0518 0518 0539 0628
778 LAS-BOS 2350 0739 0449 0449
497 BOS-SEA 2048 2331 0543 0543 0606 0641 82 498 SEA-JFK 2144 0541 0457
D-END: 0556L T.A.F.B.: 8131 TRIP RIG: 0129
Total: 2047 0000 2322 2440
So yes I am home almost 20 days a month...Again thats just me not all 2200 pilots at jetblue....Upgrade was around 2 yrs on the BUS...Thats few yrs ago and 1 yr on the E190...Now if you were hired today.... I think 10 yrs would be a good guess...New hired will be on RSV 3 to 4 yrs...so again you see JB is not great for all but good for some just like EK, and EY or QR..Please understand I didn't mean to disrespect anybody at EK...if it came out that way I am really sorry and maybe I should remove my post.... Now Here is the best part.... all this good will end when AA come in buy us
...than trust me I will put my application in with EK and if I am lucky maybe get a call.
You guys are always welcome to ride us....if the gate agents give you a hard time just find one of us and we will find a way to get you on....Thanks for riding on us..
Be safe.
