Agree with all of that. Im 45 and around 2350 seniority. So Im getting weekends/holidays off and easily makin 140K. Ive spoken to guys senior to me that have either interviewed or have interviews later this month. I just got my resume, logbooks tightened up and Im calling in favors. If guys like me, who are comfortable and middle-aged
, are thinkin about a move, JB is in denial about its appeal. I really believe they will gamble and expect that most will cave before the airline is fatally damaged. I had accepted that this would be my last airline, but after their recent shenanigans, Im finishing up my last few credits for my bachelors and planning on a move in 6-18 months. I hope we have a T/A by then (for comparison), but if a legacy offer is on the table, I am gone.
