Now, I’m not saying that JB isn’t paying excellent money and that they wouldn’t be a great place to work for. It’s big money and my friends that work there enjoy it. But I don’t know where guys get this completely false information that not only JB is now gonna pay their Bus drivers more than AA. Just like the nonsense some guys were claiming that Spirit’s new TA pays their Bus drivers more than AA. Simply not true.
That's all great and stuff, but
- How long till you flow to AA? How long to Spirit/JetBlue?
- How long to upgrade to NB CA at AA/Spirit/JetBlue?
- How long to hold the base you want at all of the above?
- How likely are you to keep the job if economy tanks? What if the oil price doubles?
- How are the QoL items? STD/LTD? 401k contributions? How many years you have left till 65?
It doesn't automatically boil to $/hr and there is no one size fits all answer
