Does this affordable housing include a private bathroom?Yeah there’s affordable housing on Long Island. You can make it work. If it interests you.
Yes Long Island is huge, if you look you can find a place to live. Islip is expensive, but Brentwood is really really cheap.Does this affordable housing include a private bathroom?
Yeah, the location of the dispatch office was always why JBLU never interested me, when I was working at a regional. Had they been headquartered in SLC, I would have been applying there from the get-go. I am sure Breeze will find people from the NYC area willing to work there, but while Islip itself seems to be a nice enough town/suburb on Long Island, the cost of living from a quick Google search appears to be even higher than in NYC proper.
Could be. Although the 2 dispatch guys are pretty much the only ones who have their locations set to NYC instead of SLC. One of them even changed his status from ORD where his last jobs have been to NYC. So it definitely sounds like it won’t be in SLC.From what I see on LinkedIn it says "Soon to launch out of ISP Long Island NY", which I take to mean flying out of ISP, not an OCC in ISP (unless I am missing something). The model they're going for is unserved markets with no competition, low costs, technology driven. There is a lot of that back east, so ISP makes sense. Operating an OCC + whatever else in a much more expensive building in ISP while the rest of HDQ is in SLC doesn't make sense for the model they're trying to operate.
It could just be that they are working at the JBU office in LIC to get all the paperwork written and approved.Could be.

But I agree that it doesn’t make sense at all.
No kidding. If an airline established their HQ on a private beach in The Maldives they’d still place their OCC in Gary, IndianaGood catch, ISP confirmed. Idk why airlines insist on placing their OCCs/IOCs in terrible locations.
Every airline I’ve worked at so far had their headquarters either in the same building as the OCC or within spitting distance.
Frontier's old dispatch office use to be on Tower Rd.
Anyway, as you walked into the lobby, dispatch was to the right and folks could see right in as there were 3 big glass windows
Of course we would always put up signs, like -
No Tapping on the Glass - People Sleeping
Feeding Time at 11
Do Not Disturb the Dispatchers
In Case of Emergency - Break Glass (The hammer was taped to the glass on the dispatch side)
Needless to say, we didn't get a lot of Higher-Ups
Veryyyy interestingI have spoken directly to the Director of IOC for Breeze and he has confirmed that the Dispatch office will be in SLC either late this year or early next year.

It's already been broken at AtlasWell Spirit is breaking that trend, hopefully JetBlue follow suit.
