Do you have a family?
Are you willing to move to have a better QOL?
How old are you?
Are you looking at JB as maybe 'a better place to wait until United calls?
Do you mind being stuck at Prison Camp for 6 weeks on $2k/month? (No visitors allowed)
Would you be ok commuting to reserve in JFK or BOS?
Would you be proud to work at New York's Gayest Airline? Google it.
Many of us here feel the company has lost its direction. No real plan for the future.
My personal opinion is that commuting to reserve sucks the life out of you.
JB isn't for everyone. You know the pay rates. You know there are few retirements over the next 8 years. You know the domiciles. I'm guessing you can do the math.
Only you can make this decision.
