It's a job. The more money, the more time off and the better benefits are a good draw. Making 3rd year as an FO at one of those shops is the same as a mid scale 76 CA here.

Thanks Jerry, that is a big plus for the majors for sure. Any opinion on going to a place like JetBlue vs Atlas?

Loop,
The schedule/trip info posted on the last page is an example of a 747 guy...new hires right now are going to the 767 and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, and will be CVG-based.

Thanks 744 driver. That's what HR said but they also said there's a possible 74 slot open too. I assume the 76 trips aren't as nice?

Sadly at this point I'd say JetBlue would probably be better than being on the 767 here as a new guy for years. Sure, you're fying a 767, but retirement and pay (because of credits and rig) will be better at JetBlue. Plus you won't be on the hook for 17 days + a month until you retire there. Who knows, maybe it'll improve next contract here, but all you can go off is what we currently have. Hopefully you get hired at both so you can decide for yourself soon!
