But…For all the B6 pilots jumping ship because they’re worried about JetBlue’s future finances??

Just do a little bar napkin math, B6 would have turned a profit in ‘23 absent acquisitions costs, we have a premium product equal to legacies, a good brand and more than 30% international (growing), B6 will be fine, just gonna take some time for a new strategy.

Rapid growth through acquisition unfairly stopped, but the airline’s gotta move on to new strategy. Not saying all legacy growth is stopping, but it’s definitely slowing, you may be on the wrong side of the wave of the legacy seniority hiring. Just an opinion for consideration.
