Applying at JBLU would do nothing for your seniority if the merger is successful, you’re at the bottom of both sides, doesn’t matter who you get hired with tomorrow.

Based on what your expectations seem to be, I don’t think you would be happy at any 121 when you learn what reserve is, that we have a contract we follow (no coloring outside the lines to suit your needs) and it’s seniority based progression. So no hanging out with the right people to help move the ball. If you think you’re going to see $250k and quality scheduled within 5 years, doubt it. Maybe if you want a junior base like FLL, but for DTW/ORD (if they survive) longer than 5 years for sure.
