I don't drink the Flavr-Aid, I just really enjoy the job and fly with good people.
Not trying to flame you guys so PLEASE don't be offended when I ask the following question. After reading several threads on jetBlue and considering; their less then robust compensation, commuting to JFK/crash pad in Queens, and little retirement, is jetBlue a company a prospective pilot should consider as a place he/she can retire from or a place that will see pilots padding their resumes then heading for the nearest exit when companies like FedEx call?
carefully stepping away from the computer and donning my flame suit,

Johnny,
We hope it will be a place to retire from one day. Our entire compensation package is weak, but we are a young airline and have a long way to go as far as pay and retirement goes.
I was at US Airways prior to JB for 15 years and had a 1 million dollar lump sum waiting for me at 60 and for a while an A320 FO was making $140/hr. That's all gone now.
Don't go to an airline based on what they offer now. Look at the management and the business plan, and try to guess what the future is for that job.
Just my views.
