Is anyone familiar as to the conditions JB pilots are employed? I heard that they fall under some employment contract status that must be renewed after a time period (5 years?) in order to stay.

I''ve talked to a couple of their guys and that appears to be the case. I don''t think that the company could abuse this without causing a backlash in the form of a union coming on property to counter abuse.

The contract "automatically" is renewed every five years. It actually guarantees more to the pilot than the company.

Under all circumstances, it is a non issue and nothing to be concerned about.

Hope that helps :)

Contracts don't mean anything . . . . as evidenced by the recent capitulation by American's APA with it's "no furlough" clause and it's 23% paycut based on an old contract wage base.

And I think JB pilots have it right by not unionizing. Save the couple of hundred bucks a months.
