I thought you left?:bomb:
I have no numbers for your second group, but I don't think that it's too many. If you can believe BPilots, some of the early furloughed DL pilots that returned recently are close to upgrade at DL.
They landed on their feet way back when!
I have over 12 years at B6. I have only a couple of years left, but if I were only 50, my apps would be out! (I doubt that I would be competitive, though).
:beer:
First point is likely true.
Second point: If you were furloughed from those other carriers and came to JB early enough, many stay and do not return to those Legacy carriers. Not exactly your example but similar.![]()
Except about 30 fairly senior B6 guys last year that had recall rights back to DL. The story I heard was B6 called DL and asked for DL not to give them class dates before the holidays, to which DL immediately gave them NOV classes.

I have a feeling all the legacies are going to agressively go after LCC pilots, primarily because it affects the LCC's bottom line. Taking a LCC Capt makes the LCC upgrade an FO to Capt, and hire a new hire to replace the FO. DL will start hiring 115 pilots a month next month, and retirements haven't really even started yet. It's gonna get interesting.

If I were Delta management, and I wanted to hurt Jetblue, I'd tell HR to scour all the resumes, and if you see a current JB pilot that is even remotely qualified, call them for an interview, NOW. You could cripple JetBlue's operation if even HALF the 115 a month you hired came from JB. At the very least you would cost them a crapload of money in training costs and really hurt the bottom line.
Oh yeah....I'm sure that's how it happened.
Really? You fly for a living? With that imagination?

All 3 of the legacies are going to eventually have to go after LCC pilots, and that's when it will get interesting. To lure them away, they are going to have to offer great terms and bases nearby the JB bases. I think all 3 will do that, and that will force the LCCs to increase their own pay and benefits, and that will help everyone. Lower oil will help pay for it too.

You write like this will be a "win / win" for everyone when in reality, after reading most of your boring 20,000 posts of selfishness and the avatar you use, everyone knows that you're advocating for another self grab looking out for numero uno; selfish prick, as usual.![]()
