I wouldn't. I am aware that JB hired a bunch of furloughed Netjets pilots - wonder what they could add to this thread... Would they do it again?

Dude you don't even work at blue.
I guess those netjets guys could have just stayed on furlough.(but they didn't)
So the choice would be Jetblue or furlough(they can keep the netjets number).you can't be that stupid.
I work here and enjoy my job and would leave my "top" regional every time.
I don't know much about netjets so I can't help you there.
JetBlue is not the hell people make it out to be.
 
No.

NetJets certainly isn't the job it used to be, but things haven't become sucky enough for anyone to make that kind of move....

Dude - this is a small industry and I know several people at JB - some happy and some not. Substandard health care (especially for families), long upgrade times relative to some other LCCs like Spirit and only a few pilot base choices. Not my dream airline but apparently yours. I am sure there were several furloughed Netjets pilots who had few options at the time and elected to go to JB. These days there are more options.

The question was would the Netjets guys willingly select JB these days if they were considering leaving Netjets. I'd be curious to hear from former Netjets and now JB pilots. Perhaps they are happier at JB...

How can you compare your upgrade times to Spirit? They aren't even in your "peer set".

Did you interview at jetBlue?
Which other Lcc's have short upgrade times?(yes I know about spirit)
 
Use Jetblue as a last resort type of job (not including regionals), straight from a Jetblue pilot friend of mine. He is waiting on hearing back from United.

You do realize this is just an opinion board and facts are optional, right?
Do your research or buyer beware.

JB isn't a bad job if you really need a job.
However, JB is your goal, you REALLY need to reevaluate.
Reset your standards MUCH higher.
Of course, we DO have great pizza and our wheel is much rounder...

This board would be the last place to go if I were looking for career advice. On that note, I would not leave NJ to go to JB.
 
How about who would leave JB for NJ. Live anywhere you want. Never commute again. Good medical bennies. It might be a tough decision for the furloughed NJ guys here at JB when the time comes to decide to go back.
 
I 2nd that. This is a terrible place to seek advice. The guys who dislike jB, eat, breath and live it. It's like a full time job inside and outside of work.

Funny thing is I heard the same thing for 7 years re: United and CAL.
 
Day 2 new hire quit to go to CAL.

How many at CAL new hires are coming to Blue?

Only those that fail training?
 
The person could of lived in a CAL/ United base or any number of things that made their decision to switch. One fact to consider, do a search of Splerts past postings and see where he comes from. I'm just say'n. How does he know these things? On my days off I sure as *hit ain't worried about work, that's for sure.:beer:

None. Are you telling me that we could do something as pilots to make people leave legacy airlines to come to JetBlue?

We are a 2nd rate airline, and if we get a union, we will still be a 2nd rate airline. We will never have the retirements and high paying widebody fleets within any foreseeable timeframe. That coupled with our slow growth means very little career advancement. No union can fix that.
