jetblue voluntary incentive lines offered

jetblue now offering partial paid leaves to a handful of pilot in January.

I think this is the new norm. As long as they are optional, it isnt a bad thing.

Q1 sucks. After Jan 7 for 2024, travel just dies down. Business travel (which usually carriers Q1) still isn’t back from pre-pandemic levels.

At this point why would it return? They've been operating 3 years without it. Or have moved into the charter/corporate side. My current shop slowed down for about 2 months in 2020. Then it was back to normal ops. A buddy I had in charter told me the same thing. Corporate/charter is as busy as ever.

October was the busiest month (most flight hours) in my department's history. Business travel is there, it just isn't on your planes.

Welp. Corpies gonna Corp I guess.

Yup. We started doing more recovery flights after airlines stranded our folks and now we just do the flying. Airline meltdowns are great for corporate flight department job security.

Like driving the limo vs the city bus.

AA is now offering blank lines for the month of January in most bids.

Funny, after all that, looks like we have about a normal amount of lines in Jan up here.

Southern jets needs to hire more of our SEA FOs so I can escape the 2 leg commute

That sounds awful. I recently flew two legs as a ticketed passenger and it was stressful.

What does that mean?

Most lines are crops. But these blank lines have cream.

You get paid a figure that is lower than MMG but not zero and you have no flying to do. You're literally paid to stay home and not fly.

At least, that's what a VIL is. I'm guessing it's the same flavor with a different name at AA.

Like a reduced guaranteed line with 0 block.

 

[DeltaAlphaNovember]

There is no guarantee pay for the blank lines. As best I can tell it's like the zero time lines offered during covid. You don't get paid anything unless you pick up flying.

In most bases this will go very senior. Dropping down to 0 and then picking up what you want is the dream of many.
