2013 hires at JetBlue have been able to hold captain for a couple of years.
2014 hires at SWA are on average around 35%-45% on the FO list (depending upon domicile)

But looking at money a 5 year SWA FO isn't making much less than a 5 year JB 190 CP. And being 35%-45% on SWA FO list is a better QOL than 2% in JB 190 CP list (after 2 year reserve depending on base).
Money-wise... on a 20 year long run even with 13 years to command on SWA and CP after 5 year in JB, SWA stays a better option...
