There are experienced pilots out there that will come to jetblue hoping its a stepping stone but being ok with it as a career if other options don't pan out.(Nothing is guaranteed)bThose pilots will be much less likely to come here knowing they could potentially face monetary retribution if they leave.
We will need these experienced pilots.
If we just had industry average compensation this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
Yeah and they shouldn't bother coming. If they don't want to make JB a career then go somewhere else. Every time we hire someone and they leave that's training costs that come out of my pocket via profit sharing and stock price. Why would we want that? Good pilot or not I'd rather fly with someone who wants to make this a better place and not someone who could care less because they are trying to go somewhere else. If you want to go somewhere that's fine but at least you should work off your training costs
