Well....what do you think will happen when the industry starts retiring 1000+/year and NOTHING happens here? Bottom 50% gonna stay because we have a direct relationship? Free pizza? Maybe the stellar health insurance/retirement?
I would submit that a company hiring lower time guys than before also discourages discontent and only adds to the "it's better than Mesa crowd" which of course pads the "No" votes for the next ALPA drive.
Good for JetBlue....bad for those of us still waiting for the industry AVERAGE...not industry leading....industry AVERAGE we were promised.
Agree...
