Agreed including a retirement DC plan and I'm guessing the seniority movement on the 190 will be a lot quicker. I don't think the 10 hr/3 days are a big issue on the 190 except for a few pairings here and there.
It just bothers me a little that the 190 won't see anywhere close to the kind of pay bump the Airbus will see. I get it...it's all about what's industry standard. I just know that BOS continues to be Jetblue's most profitable base and the 190 does about half that flying. Some of those routes include doing a double LGA turn in and out of the weather so we can compete with Delta and American for those business travelers.
