We need a 25% raise just to match current current JetBlue.



There is a reason a significant number here, and close to 25% of our new hires, are going somewhere else. Maybe you don't have a degree. Or perhaps you have a DUI under your belt. Or perhaps you believe out work rules are worth a 50% discount. I love the job. Don't like the management. And loathe our pay. Guys ask for input. I'll give it to you straight. Our pay sucks and won't get much better. If that works for you then best of luck. High fives are free.
