Perhaps you could put this in the Wiki FAQ at http://flyerguide.com/wiki/index.php...tBlue_TrueBlue

It has been languishing without input for several weeks.

The word on the street, well our street, is it should be late 07 if things go well this summer and loads and fares stay up like their are now. MCO has great growth potiental in both airbus as well as 190 markets.

Isn't flight attendant training (for the new recruits) in Orlando? I thought there was something big in Orlando.

Yes. All flight/Inflight/Airport Ops/Ground Ops training is done at our brand new University there.

I put in some new information on that page. I just commented on the aircraft and snacks and things of that nature. I'm not knowledgable on TrueBlue so I can't really add to that.

Have you seen the new University? Nice? Where was it before the new jetBlue University opened in Orlando? It is difficult to imagine any kind of training going on at JFK Airport.

The new university I was talking about is the JetBlue University. I actually trained down there. It is an awsome facility to train in. Any training in NYC is done at Forest Hills and not the airport. LGB and BOS have training rooms for AO and GO I believe, there may be another city that has the ability to train new hires. All flight and inflight crews are initially trained in MCO. Inflight crews are initially trained in MCO and then recieve their yearly training in either FSC or MCO.

What kind of training is done at Figari, FR (FSC)?

Haha, I wish training was done at Figari, FR. FSC for is is Forest hills Support Campus. We do recurrent training there.

JetBlue University opened in mid '05 in at MCO. Prior to that all flight and inflight training was conducted by JetBlue instructors at the North American Airbus training facility down in Miami. Whilst training in MIA was fun the new Jetblue facility in MCO blows the Airbus center out off the water.

It is a huge difference when it is your own facility. I got a very good laugh about that Figari FR comment, I didn't recognize the code either but I knew jetBlue wasn't flying everybody to some rural outpost in France where it isn't likely a single person speaks English.

Have the two of you ever flown together? dietcoke and JetBlueFA?

I've been having trouble logging in to it. Maybe I will try again....

You need to register for the Wiki completely separately from your FT registration. You can use the same login if you like, but you need to take that extra step.

Very true, and Boeings have thousands of foreign made parts, but it's still a Brazilian company versus an American company. It's a reason I've been loyal to AirTran...they're Orlando's hometown airline (even if the hub is in ATL), and Orlando is my hometown. From so many standpoints (financially etc.), it's silly, but that's what matters to me. Of course, B6 is close to winning me over it'd seem. ^

Just got back from IAD...very nice, though slightly bumpy flight aboard Blue Clipper. I did notice what annoys me the most about the E-190...the fact that the air vents are capable only of blowing right into my head...they'd directly above the seat rather than slightly in front of it. I spent the entire flight trying to adjust it so that it was both cooling yet not blowing right on my head. All in all, excellent experience on-board B6.
