Again I am not defending blue but I grow tired of guys like you screaming about stuff because you either didn't do the research or thought it was a totally different airline.
The facts were all out there you just had to find them.
Btw don't forget the mighty 190 we are the regional side of JetBlue
For the record.
If you can get on at the big 3 and you want to go there I would totally skip jetblue. If you are here at the bottom of the list and under 40 and not happy or want more I would totally be applying to the big guys.
Again JetBlue is what it is, and it's a pilots market.
You're not far off on those dates. And you're right I knew the pay rates coming in. What you can't really know before you go is the intricacies of the work rules and trip construction and how they work toward or against actual compensation. I knew the rates were bad, but I honestly figured work rules and trip construction would make up for it a bit until a CBA was in place. And apparently I was also naive thinking a CBA wasn't all that far off. And you also don't know the true culture of an airline until you're on line for a few months (probably doesn't help I'm on the juiciest plane in the juiciest base
). I'll just leave it at that before I offend a juicer... Not miserable here by any means, just bringing up points I wish I had a deeper understanding of before I came here.
