Planning the first few years
Gents,
I have posted on here recently inquiring about information as a new hire for JetBlue and I genuinely appreciate everyones help. There have been other forum discussions regarding individuals pay, compensation packages, W2s, etc. and I do agree with those that find that discussion tacky and a bit much, so before I get torn apart, that is not what this post is about.
As someone who is considering a career change or entering the 121 world for the first time or even to help others considering JetBlue, I believe it is important to get a consensus on compensation expectation for the first few years; especially for those with families. With the information that I have gathered so far, below what I have calculated out. For anyone new on property (4-5 years or less), can you please verify the accuracy.
Training = 6-8 weeks approx. $1200/month
Training pay upon completion of training = 80hrs/month at $88/hr
Year 1 Gross = $85,000 - $102,000 gross depending on length of reserve. Can one count on $5000-$5500 NET per month?
Year 2 Gross = E190 between $115,000 - $140,000 (Average 95 -120 credit/month)
A320 between $125,000 - $160,000 (dependent on reserve times)
Year 3 Gross = A320 between $165,000 - $190,000 (Average 85-110 credit/month)
401(k) 15% until 2021, then 16% - direct contribution.
Profit sharing minimal
Current Reserve Times, obviously changes monthly, but a good average would be appreciated.
BOS 190 = ?
BOS 320 = ?
JFK 190 = ?
JFK 320 = ?
MCO 190 = ?
MCO 320 = ?
FLL 190 = ?
FLL 320 = ?
Again, I am NOT looking for anyone to share their personal information or post their earnings, but a verification or correction of the accuracy of the information above and anything else that would be important for a new hire to know would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Ive still tried to use this for so long to keep up with things on layover and at the hotels, but with recent layover changes its just unreliable now. Why was this not kept up with and is there any new layover guide place? Its always great to know if Ill have a microwave or where its located, where the local gyms are and what they have, discounts, etc. Would love to see this or something like it come back.

Is Bachelors Degree necessary?
Our son has dreams of flying commercially. Looking at cost of colleges with aviation programs has been enlightening. We still feel he should have a Bachelors and a Plan B.
Trying to determine if its more cost effective to get degree separate from flight school? We happen to live very close to a flight school, so he could start now, while hes a senior in high school.
Or skip college and focus on becoming a commercial pilot?
Hes already flown a couple of times and just loves it. Need to figure out most affordable option.
Thanks

From The Grievance Committee
So if I read this right, the Company elected to exercise their option to withdraw from the Hotel Standby settlement that both sides have benefitted from over the last two peak periods.
Wasnt that a grievance we won? So what opinions are on the table for the union now?File another grievance? This dont make any sense to me. Look like the company will do as they please. These grievances are a waste of time if after a settlement the company does the same thing that led to the grievance.

We're All In It Together
This campaign is solid because it aligns our interests with the passengers. We don't like cancellations, reroutes, reassignments (RO) and being flown into days off any more than they do.
I think this is a well done video and gets the message across- we need work rules to protect our schedule integrity in this next contract.

Allied Pilots Association Launches New Video Capturing
Impact of Unreliable Flight Scheduling on Pilots and Passengers
FORT WORTH, Texas (Oct. 15, 2019) As pilots and passengers contend with the effects of unreliable scheduling, the Allied Pilots Association (APA) today released a cinematic video that captures how scheduling practices affect the lives of pilots and passengers alike.
The video touches on some of the most significant issues that pilots have raised in contract negotiations with American Airlines management, including the importance of reliable flight scheduling and proper quality of work life. Unreliable flight schedules, coupled with wasteful pilot scheduling practices, run directly counter to APA's goal of making American Airlines the first choice for passengers, pilots, and investors.
To watch the new video, click here.
"In the air, we're all in it together and we all need reliable scheduling," said APA President Capt. Eric Ferguson. "APA has proposed ways to improve operations so passengers and pilots can count on reliable scheduling.
"The pilots of American Airlines know that reliable scheduling means that passengers get where they're going on time, that pilots have a more predictable work life, and that the airline and its investors will benefit accordingly. It's time for management to take concrete action to improve scheduling and repair American Airlines' reputation and competitive position," he said.
As the video depicts, unreliable scheduling means that pilots and passengers miss important moments in their families' lives. The video shows that pilots love their job and take seriously their commitment "to safely get others where they need to go," but when flight schedules are unreliable, passengers and pilots and their families are all negatively affected.
The video is the second in a series of videos featuring American Airlines pilots. To watch the first video in the series, click here.
Full video script:
"I love my job, but my schedule is really unpredictable.
I travel all the time for work.
My flights are always getting delayed and rescheduled. Or cancelled.
Sometimes I end up waiting for hours, stranded in cities that aren't home.
It's hard on me and it's hard on my family.
A few weeks ago, I missed my son's birthday because of another last-minute flight change.
Everyone was there. Everyone except me.
Our industry is supposed to be all about bringing people together.
And that's why I do this to safely get others where they need to go.
But it shouldn't be this hard on me. Or my passengers."

Once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity
Heres the short version. Im the IT Director for a construction company in Nebraska with no pilot experience. Back in January, my boss asked me if I wanted to be the corporate pilot to fly the PMs to job sites around the Midwest and beyond, he would pay for all my training; private, instrument, commercial single-engine, commercial multi-engine, and CE-500 type rating. So far, its just pilot duties, nothing more. Ill be flying a Cessna 206 for shorts trips and Citation Ultra for longer trips. Im halfway through my instrument now and should be ready to fly for the company by next summer (just the 206). Itll be a while until Im in the Citation.
Were about to negotiate the employment proposal and I want to know where the ballpark is. My pilot duties will be totally separate from my IT duties, so itll be like working 2 jobs. Ive never been a pilot and theyve never hired one, so neither of us know what it should look like. I just want to make sure Im not getting low-balled, even if he is paying for my training. Itll start with single engine piston, then SIC in the Citation, then eventually PIC. Curious about salary progression.
Also wondering what kind of stipulations should be in place; advance notice for flights, flying on weekends, final authority for cancelling a flight, anything else I cant think of. Sorry, very new to this. Dont really care about benefits, thats covered under the IT gig.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
