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!
Fair enough, but do we need to treat each other like bitter, angry jerks while all of this plays out? I am by far not a "juicer," but I WILL NOT let this nonsense ruin my health. I choose to be happy. If you have an issue with that, go be miserable somewhere else.
