Throw in the pension, B-fund, excellent health insurance, good work rules, and it adds up, in addition to the base pay rate. I made excel spreadsheets. I ran the numbers. For me it made financial sense, in addition to offering other benefits.




I definitely agree it is all subjective. I have friends who are staying there. I think I've earned my right to call it JetJoke, after 7 years of putting up with increasing BS there. The operation is a joke. I feel for you and everyone who works there. Your management is a colossal train wreck. You don't have to agree. But you're really going to get offended by it?

I didn't intend to make this a JB vs XXX airline. I was just pointing out that financially speaking, it isn't necessarily true to say that after 4 years it doesn't make sense to leave. But to each his/her own. I wish you all good luck.
