Further, for a large percentage of us it has nothing to do with flying widebodies. It has everything to do with seniority. Whether that be through retirements, or whether it be through staying on a narrow body fleet while other people fly the widebodies. Both DL and UAL have seniority calculators and the difference compared to JB is staggering.
Fair enough on the pay I only was comparing 12 year pay. Their operations are just as jacked as us. My friends at every carrier make the same complaints or I should say complain just as much about their operations. That's our industry right now unfortunately. My point with the wide bodies has more to do with options and opportunities that JetBlue just doesn't offer, no matter what WC promises.. on a personal note I appreciate chaos but then again us 12 year plus captains tend to be greedy..
