Jetblue has caught up to us on wages. Next year they make more than us. He was already a captain. Jetblue flying internationally now. They even serve Heathrow, the hardest airport in the world to get slots. Jetblue will keep growing. Delta is definitely a better place to be, but I wouldn't start over after climbing the Jetblue longevity scale and already having seniority.
You’re comparing one fleet for pay rates, and we both can probably agree that DL will have a new contract first, and it will likely exceed what JB offers.
DL offers widebody FO rates that rival JB airbus rates.
At JB, you’ll be a junior CA for years, on reserve for three plus, and when you get a line, it will be to SDQ. Seniority really doesn’t buy you much at JB when the A321 is the pinnacle of your career, and the majority of those senior to you are under 55. The seniority list moves at a snails pace.
If I had eight years of seniority at JB, I’d be hard pressed to leave, but it’s a very reasonable thing to consider depending on your age and goals.

Take it you made the jump already? I just got the offer, so I have at least a couple months to think about. Mind was pretty made up when I updated my app a few months ago. Already wish I had done it sooner.
