Yes, PHL.
I already do the drive to JFK, and while 2.5 hours isn’t terrible as far as time... it’s just incredibly stressful due to the varying lengths of time due to horrendous traffic and numerous accidents I see ALL THE TIME. That’s what concerns me. The drive regularly eclipses three hours on Thursday and Friday. Not to mention it’s $60 round trip in gas and tolls. And also, very little growth at JetBlue, like close to net zero with a very junior pilot group.
JB definitely seems to have a better overall contract, no doubt, and a fairly well established airline, but they need to do something... there is seemingly little to no direction from leadership.
I didn’t have Frontier on my radar until I heard PHL opened. And with it being so junior versus reserve in JFK, seems worth considering.
