That’s about all that a blue “retirement” entails. He is still going to United.
I'm curious, why do you doubt him? I happen to know the person he is referring to. Everything he's said is true.
Yeah the guy retired, with 15 years left. But really he quit. Our pairings are terrible, and management has stated publicly that they aren't done trying to wring more out of us. The schedules will likely get worse.
Commuting as a 17 year CA at jetblue is worse than living in base as a new hire at UAL. Hell, year 2 at UPS beats 10 years or more at jetblue in many ways.
