August 2014 junior lineholder (around 2830 total pilots as of bid closing):
JFK 320 FO- #2674
JFK 190 FO- #2628
BOS 320 FO- #2668
BOS 190 FO- #2703
The E190 hiring will continue to slow. Maybe 2-4 per class if any at all. Getting the A320 will probably be the fastest way to holding a line in the near future, but who knows for sure.

Thanks again for your continued support for us on the outside looking in.
Here is a good article discussing LGB slots and JetBlue:

I would definitely sit reserve in LGB for 3 years instead of commuting to the east coast!
