I have enough time left that I'd be better off at a legacy in the long term if jetblue stays on its current trajectory of slowing growth and operationally questionable decisions. Hopefully things change for the better over the next 30 years. I like this place and want it to be good. Ymmv.
Do you think TPIC still matters that much? Certainly better to have than not, but I'm at a regional where upgrade is still years and years away.
