Just wondering why you left Jet Blue for WN and ifanything has changed since then that makes you regret the choice?
I made the decision for two reasons. One was a complicated two leg commute from a small town in the Midwest to Boston. Also, they didn't have a union CBA at the time. That concerned me. Finally - and I regret that I felt this way - is that I didn't perceive JetBlue to be a destination carrier at that time. It didn't feel like a successful conclusion to my career.

I was wrong of course. Today they outmatch WN in many ways from retirement contribution, to PaxEx, to upgrade time, to international network, to fleet modernity. They're clearly a destination carrier. The only question, and it's one that only you can answer, is which carrier works best for you and your family?

There are few wrong answers these days. As the saying goes, you won't know if you made the right right decision until you walk away on your last day.
