I am very happy to be in the pool at JB, just exercising options. JB has long been a goal for personal reasons.
I recognize that this thread will primarily be negative by 10 known posters, and that about three others will be unwaveringly optimistic. Either way, interested in thoughts. I realize where this may go...
Input is appreciated.
I think it depends on the makeup of that PHL base, which none of us at Jetblue know obviously. Do they have a lot of day trips, which to me makes living in base much more advantageous? If it’s all 3&4 day trips with little open-time to swap into better trips, or opportunities to make premium pay then in my opinion that kind of defeats the purpose of living in domicile. Ask a Frontier friend for a bid packet and check our the trips. I’m not JFK based, but the people I know that are based there are pretty successful wheeling and dealing their schedule since JFK has the most varied flying we have. Second year FO I know should be close to 200k this year but they live a little bit closer in Jersey.
