No it's not alot of assumptions. If you believe that the world will remain closed off and people won't travel internationally that's on you.

Correct right now, when international flying isnt remotely close to 2019 levels and still many more 330 deliveries to go. If one assumes the world will return to normal and Delta gets back to 2019 level international flying plus growth within 2-3 years NYC330B will go new hire

If International glory returns to 2019 levels, I expect the International categories to go back to being the senior planes they were pre-Covid.

You said 2-3 years…let’s split the difference.

If a new hire gets 330B before the end of 2025 (2.5 years from now), I’ll make a donation to charity of your choice.

Tough decision...I've been with Jetblue for 6 years now a captain on the Bus. Had my app in mainly for United since I live in a UAL hub...Delta called and got the CJO. It's a tough choice considering the money I'll lose with starting all over at DAL at 40 years old with a 60% pay cut and a family of 4 to feed. Any advice or new perspective would be helpful.

Merry Christmas!

This post didn't age well. Staying at Jetblue was the right decision.

DAL is #1 at BOS now, any word of a pilot base on the grapevine?

Supposed to be by fall. Now they said they are not opening any base in the upcoming bid that’s mid August.

I imagine probably by summer next year.

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.

Similar boat, but with Alaska. Bypassing upgrade with the worst work rules and pay of any major airline. Starting over won't be great but still think it's a no brainer.
