A lot of jb pilots are leaving and airframes on the way.
I'll bet it's sooner.
"A lot of jb pilots are leaving" is an embellishment of the facts as far as I'm aware. Did people leave this year, yes; the facts do not support "a lot."
More than one is too many though with the current growth and shortage coming IMO.
For the year there have been 71 pilots who left JetBlue as of 10/19/14 (according to the unofficial 'Where did they go' thread on BP). I believe the company projected 100 leaving this year for attrition.
I'm sure that number will increase as the other carriers ramp up their hiring.
Also, I wonder how many pilots from the other majors have quit to go to B6?
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.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.
