Chip,
Whats the difference in pay, work rules compensation and benefits for the Pilots at Jet Blue versus US?

You can''t compare a company that''s only been around for a little over 3 years to US Airways, with pilots that have been here 15-30+ years. On 6/10/2003 8:13:59 AM tug_slug wrote:

For example, at jetBlue Flight Attendants clean the cabins and at US Airways you have Utility personnel, which creates another job category for pay, benefits, and retirement.
Neeleman said 70% of jetBlue''s bookings are done on the internet, where at US Airways you have Rez and Travel Agents, thus US Airways has a greater number of people booking flights, thus more employee expense. Other labor cost areas are items such as US Airways employees are at TOS, whereas jetBlue has new hire entry level employees. In addition, jetBlue has a new single fleet type, where the airline has not hired mechanics to perform aircraft overhaul.
