Undecided Allegiant vs JetBlue
Current Allegiant MD80 Captain, offered a JetBlue Class
What would you do? I am 47 years old and don't have much vested in AAY |
JB...............
less stress and ability to enjoy life prior to retirement |
Where do you live? JetBlue has a lot of east coast options. You might even parlay into a legacy. IMHO, I don’t think anyone will finish his or her career at JetBlue. G4, on the other hand. We have such an oddball model; I don’t think it would appeal to anyone. Not much vested in G4, hard to imagine that, given our overly generous retirement plan.
JB without a contract blows G4 away in every category. |
Undecided Allegiant vs JetBlue
The only way I'd pick Allegiant in that scenario is if you lived in your base, were senior enough to avoid TDY, and don't mind their random schedule.
Other than that, jB all the way. |
Go to JetBlue and don't look back.

At 47 i have to assume you don't want to be hoping from airline to airline. It's a personal call really. Do you live in base? Do you need the money? Do you need to be a capt? Are you miserable where you work? I'm sure you've run the numbers. If you go to jb class today you'll be 50-60% in 5-6 yrs. Currently i think capt at Blue sitat 70% ish.
I can't speak for aay other than what i read here and a buddy who doesn't care for it. I'm sure there's some guys who have done what you're thinking. Whatever you do, good luck my man |
I live at base, so far I can't complain about G4 but I am new, and as a former 747 Capt. I am used to being beat down

I'm sorry, your post in confusing me. Why won't anyone finish a carer at Jetblue?

JB seems more likely than G4 to be bought by a legacy. If at all. IMO.
