While attrition at JetBlue would increase your senirioty faster than retirements it would not be enough to get you where you want/should be vs a real major airline. Even if one third of our pilots leave, you will still see 10-15-20 years till Captain upgrade. Why? Becuase those that remain and are captains are still very young compaired to a normal legacy manning spread.

If you are counting on attrition to give you increased seniority faster, you will be very disappointed. Plus by the time you realize it, you will have been here 5-10 years and missed your chance at a real major airline that has real defined attrition due to retirements (vs hoping for pilots just leaving jetblue)

JetBlue should ONLY be considered as a temp job on the way to getting hired at a real major airline. It is a place to get out of the Regionals and into the majors. If you need PIC time, don't go to JetBlue. If you want good protections/work rules/retirement/medical/CBA, don't go to JetBlue.

Just my opinion......
