Wake up guys- its gonna get worse before it gets better.
Don't pee on their juicing parade. They are focused on the fun they have at work and are only slightly discomforted by the fact that we are compensated 30-40% below our peers and completely underestimating how long it's going to take until "things will get better".
Things MAY get better, but it will take a LONG time and frankly none of us know how much of the compensation gap will actually get closed.
Also, with pilots being in shorter supply going forward, and JetBlue being a narrow-body only airline with only a chance of a small token fleet of future wide-bodies and no pilot retirements, we ARE IN REAL DANGER OF HAVING TO REDUCE OUR FUTURE GROWTH RATE DUE TO NOT ATTRACTING ENOUGH PILOTS. Even with a new contract.
We will be slow growing with narrow body aircraft and no retirements. This is a very REAL future possibility for us!
