Ask your top guys how they feel about doh. My original comment was to try to get some of the logical arguments as I have not been through this before and the statement “ I don’t want to be placed by a ‘16 nk hire” is not the argument, it’s the emotional response.
There is an average hire age of Major airline pilots. I believe it is about 37 years of age. That is why I was careful to use the word Average. Right now there are about 10 pilots younger and senior to me at Jetblue. With a relative integration there would be hundreds and they would all come from Spirit so No, I wouldn't still be very senior. I would be drastically hurt over time.
Our very Senior pilots aren't worried about the 20-30 guys you still have that were hired in the 90's. They're getting up there.
