Regarding op outs. Two weeks ago they send out an email, company wide offering early retirement. Normally to retire at JetBlue the amount of years you have worked plus your age, need to equal 65. but they have offered retirement if those numbers add up to 55. Employees have to make the request by Nov 22nd. And their last day will be Dec 31st. JetBlue is reducing staff. They may be "hiring" but they often to that and do not actually have a training class for months, years. it is all hype and image.
This is thurs 11/7/19. People who were suspended on Oct 1st (ish) are still on suspension. Possibly someone caught wind of their unethical behavior. They obviously wanted to reduce staff, so they called people in for doing something they encouraged them to do. If you have tech issues, you can call the IT department and they would say, you can come into the center to work or you can use some vacation time. For whatever reason, many of these people were called in for using a combination of technical trouble time and vacation time (PTO). There are roughly a 1000 at home crew members in Salt Lake City. And the area at the work center for people work is 30 people. And these people are being fired because they were negligent for not going into the center proactively. Where would these people have sat when there are only 30 seats ?? That is if they are all actually working. And if there is not a class and instructors in the room. Keep the conversation going !!
No opt outs are going to happen. It cost too much money. VC advised.
It was not 80 it was at least 200 and thats only counting the crew support deparment and the excuse they gave the crew was a made up set up from something they allow crewmembers to add from their schedule and now they use as excuse to fired people
Too bad they don’t offer voluntary as many may take. Sorry to hear this about the SLC market.
They are laying people off in the SLC market now. Last heard it was 80+ people. Announcement should come 10/4/2019. Being told to keep everything private so I am sure it doesn’t leak and hurt the stock.
Any talk of opt outs with the latest news? Certainly tough to hear we are not on track after a long hard summer.
