Last thing I thought was to jump ship and start over in that mess, and everyone was basically saying "It's gonna come crashing down any moment now". I thought people who were leaving were absolutely insane, instead, I watched guys get hired who are now Captains at United and Delta. So while I constantly fear the economy crashing and us losing our jobs (Normal airline pilot PTSD stuff) the reality is we have no idea what could happen.



I have to disagree with this. Jetblue has shown to be able to bounce back and withstand down turns better than the larger airlines (So have other LCCs). How many guys work here that are former United/Delta/AA/NW/Airways (You get my point) who were furloughed, recalled, furloughed again, however in that entire time, they've never lost their job here. During a downturn and or/furlough I'd much rather be at a Jetblue or Spirt than a United or Delta.
