Being such a small airline most military guys don't know anything about jetBlue and they only focus on the big 3. Military guys have proven they can fly complicated airplanes in the left seat or solo. They are a proven product. Corporate guys come with a world of experience. If you want to reduce the value of this job and make sure we hire people that will never leave than yes, keep hiring regional FOs with no PIC and gateway 7 guys. In that line of thinking why pay us more, let the qualified guys move on to better paying places, there is always a regional FO that wants to work here. Since he won't be able to get on at the airlines that pay better, because those airlines are hiring military guys and corporate guys, tons of them, he will be stuck here at low wages. Do you work directly for B.S.?
Are regional pilots not proven? They worked their asses off in substandard working conditions for years on end, doing essentially the same job in similar equipment. Sounds proven to me.
