At least it's better than Mesa, amirite?!
When it comes to a holistic view of pay and benefits, we are at the bottom of our peer set. (UA/DL/AA/AS/WN)
My peers are the people I work with at jetBlue. If I had wanted to work at DAL, I would have applied there, and then my peers would have been there.
Don't fool yourself into thinking you deserve what legacy pilots have achieved over the past 60 years. If that was you goal, to work for a legacy, then you messed up when you applied to B6. No one to blame but yourself.
At least you got one part right... we are better off than Mesa pilots. All regionals, actually.
Riddle me this, Batman; if JB is so terrible, and the legacies are so much better, then why aren't more pilots leaving JB for them?
