Jetblue Major Airline Prep Course Open For Business

Or will a CBA create thousands of retirements and high paying widebody aircraft?

No one is saying that. Once again you just want to argue. How many retirements are there at Alaska? I don't hear about pilots leaving enmasses there. If the pay and benefit package was decent attrition would be cut not eliminated.

And cutting atrittion would help me?

That's fine, and this will still be a second rate job with considerably less value than the legacies.

You're assuming we won't be assimilated by a legacy. That's a big assumption. On a side note, please stay away from sharp objects.

Haha, who is it this time..... been reading this stuff for years! Let's hear your inside genius knowledge of what is about to happen to us...

This will still be a second rate job compared to the legacy airlines with massive retirements, seniority movement and higher paying fleet types. Not to mention base choices that don't require you to live 5 mins from an ocean.

Your career will still be worth far less here. Beachbummer ran the data. He showed that legacy career was definitively worth 32 million dollars more than a career at jb.

32 million?
Smarta$$ are you being sarcastic?

(Cliff Clavin voice) "Oh yeah. It's a little known fact that most of the AS pilots have their apps in at B6".
Must the blue chips or those FA guys that walk funny...

Cliff Claven reference is probably wasted on 90% of this forum's participants (toddlers)... But I liked it!!

Getting back to the main purpose of this thread, why would a qualified pilot applicant meeting the competitive hiring minimums of a major airline even consider applying to JetBlue?

Because every pilot isn't going to have the opportunity/contacts/luck/drive/qualifications to go to Delta, American or United. Some people have to make the best of their situation. What is a guy or girl supposed to do? Sit a Express Jet, Mesa or any other crappy regional and wait for a lottery ticket to go to a Legacy carrier? That's just dumb.

STOP MAKING SENSE!!!! Stick to the plan man. JetBlue is the worst job in the history of aviation!!! They have slave masters sitting on the jumpseats with whips. Get your story right!
