The crews at JetBlue are wonderful but everybody who is not a Pilot or an FA is fighting you. Commuting to Delta has been life changing for the better.
So what makes it the worst place ever is:
1. You being junior and came in right when we stopped growth
AND
2. You not yet having a good grasp on reserve rules in the CBA?
Yeah wait for Crew Scheduling, at ANY airline, to tell you when they're wrong and you should refuse the trip they're currently assigning you.
I mean.....insert any airline name that decides to stop growth for whatever reason, that you have to commute to, and you'll have similar results.
This is exactly what happened when any airline in the past stopped hiring. The junior person gets the suck. Your option is to get to a different airline that still has movement or wait it out for growth to resume.
