100% agree.
I also regret the move to Jblu. Not a good move for any captain at an ok regional. Massive loss in QOL, medical, vacation, time off ..... it’ll take all of 3rd and 4th years pay to compensate 1st and 2nd year pay loss.
Unless the new CBA changes things, after those 4 years, you’ll still have worse benefits, worse hotels, less time off ......
So, the gamble is whether or not you believe you can get hired at a real major from your regional within 5 years.
Not sure why Southerner thinks JB is so good.
