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.

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.

Merry Christmas!

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

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.
