I'm not stiring the pot or trying to incite the bluebells its just a sad realization as to the future of the airline. It's still a decent job but Jetblue leadership does not intend for this to be a career.
For those in the pool do yourself a favor and keep your options open. There stands to be significant hiring on the horizon.
I agree Benz, JB has become a watered down version of Mesa or maybe worse. What people complain about is that the company doesn't do this or that. Well guess what, they are in business to please shareholders and a BOD not the pilot group. This is just the way it is and they are never going to change cause of pilots complaining. This place will never be a place for the career minded, especially with the large number of captains in their 30's and 40's. I think a new hire can expect 10+ years before upgrading to captain.
