I don't think anyone has those numbers, but I would be surprised if it were anything more than a negligible amount. I mean it's not like we are being bought by United or anything.
I don't say that to scoff at JetBlue as I'm sure we'll get a great contract together, but with the legacies lowering the bar in terms of hiring this year I think most are still focused on the big 3.
If anything I would bet we start seeing less pilots applying here since the juniority of the FL bases are jeopardized now with the merger, and let's be honest that was a big reason for so many applying here.
