Aaaah the true strategy is revealed. Interviews at JetBlue want you to be honest......however I wouldn't be that Honest as you are above. Also most interviewers at JetBlue don't like it when you refer to them as an LCC (regardless of what the wider industry refers to it as). You are already going to look suspicious with your Houston address. Best of luck to you. As far as your commuting to JFK question......people do it........but I'd think it be easier with somebody closer to IAH......just my 1.65 🇮🇳 rupees.

Speak your mind Biggins......I think however this is an example of path of least resistance. Limit the exposure to jeapordy events, lotta regionals are still not AQP. I'm with you, I have much more admiration for the person who takes on the PIC, learns and develops........course I'm just thinking back to when I played in the regional leagues...when upgrade was 8 years and most LLC's required or strongly preferred it.
