I cannot speak to specifics when it comes to JetBlue, but if the legacy airlines are going to hire like the 'experts' are predicting over the next few years, the compensation model at companies like JetBlue and Virgin America is going to have to change. If not they risk becoming type rating training programs for the legacy carriers. I know Virgin America does not have the money, simulator space and other resources available to handle constant hiring during a period of zero growth, which is the situation we are in right now.
