I find it funny how people get very defensive ...
I apologize for offending anyone and that was not my intent.
I don’t work for Jazz.
I have several friends who have/ do some have stayed some have moved on. Some enjoy they job some do not. I have entertained both encore and Jazz.
I’m unable to make the pay cut and the numbers didn’t add up and have stuck out my northern airline job. I enjoy my days off and where I live and the job as a whole. Others at my company have moved and gone to jazz in an attempt to go to AC and have told me how they like it or didn’t. AC is not for me based on many factors but for those who want to make the move all the power to you..
I’ve also been in the industry for 10 + years ...
Black Tusk,
I did not say anyone is doing 7 day legs on the CRJ or the Q.
I have seen some of the classic pairings and maybe the “ average” isn’t 7 legs but some 7 legs do exist. It was very poor wording on my part. For that, I apologize! have been sent some of the typical pairings and yeah it seem to range from 3 -7. Seven legs is a ton...I will say that. I’m not a spring chicken anymore and that would exhaust me.
My info is second hand ..but I do trust the information I’ve been handed.
However, all I tried to say is that from what I hear people are happy with many aspects of Jazz but the pay.. In essence, I’m saying you folks are worth more than you are paid? Is that so bad?? Hahahahha
Like I said, I never said it was a bad place to work!! I don’t work there? How could I know ? Who knows, maybe if you folks came to my place of employment you’d hate my job. Different strokes for different folks. We do work with our employer to make things better. Is it perfect? No! No job, hobby, etc is.. life is imperfect. I try to objectively look at what works best for me and reassess if what I’m doing is working for me and my family even at my job.
I don’t understand the politics between AC, SR, JZ etc. I’m removed from that scene. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong! Note: “ it seems to me that XYZ” .. meaning it isn’t necessarily so and I’m unsure. I don’t know so enlighten me ?!
The point of my post was to compare and contrast encore vs Jazz. So those who are trying to make the decision. I was there at one point..
I’ve looked at both and chose neither !
Fly safe and take care !
