Hey all.....
JB is a paycheck and days off.
Anyone who tells you that it is so much more than that is deluding themselves and fooling you.
As for new hires....classes should have a mix of 320's and 190's. More E jet slots than bus. Expect JFK or BOS for both fleets. More growth in BOS. Transferring out could take a year or longer.
Healthcare is the worst amongst the majors. Pay is ok, but will need a major adjustment very soon. Seniority progression difficult to predict for a new hire. I'm only moving up 100 numbers in ten years. But, if we see a mass exodus of folks junior to #1000 you could personally see decent progression. Nobody has a crystal ball. The music could stop as soon as this afternoon and you'd be reserve for a very long time.
Good luck to all of us.
