Not sure what your reasons are for not wanting to go to a legacy, but there’s a reason we lose about 60-80 a year (outside retirements) to mostly legacies with a few to SWA/FDX/UPS. If it’s bc of BOS, I suspect DL will have a crew base there soon. They will have 260 flights a day out of there before long. If it’s for culture, it doesn’t pay bills when it exists, and it’s existence is debatable. I have friends who left blue for all airlines, and not one regrets it besides missing some of the guys they flew with. And joining here at 4,100 on the seniority list with less than 900 retirements in the next decade won’t see as much seniority movement as at a legacy.

Not to say this place isn’t and can’t be a good career. Several of us came here planning on bailing for greener pastures and stayed. Some tried to leave and never could. Some never wanted to be anywhere else. If this is where you want to be keep trying, do interview prep, and keep apps out elsewhere. I know several who took a couple interviews to get on here (including a pilot executive). If you want it be persistent. With over 6k pilots behind hired next year by the big 6 airlines, and us trying to hire over 500, I don’t see JB being able to be picky for very long.
