Jet Blue gets a retirement with their new contract so I'd rather start there. Plus you can live in base and not be gone as much. The only plus that K4 would have over Jet Blue would be if you are dead set on commuting... Even then the retirement would be the difference for me.

Living in base at JB is a pretty good deal. Commuting not so much, but that can be said about anywhere. 3rd year JB 320 FO, pulled in around $160K with 360 hours of block. Half reserve and half bidding a line. Schedules went to **** post CBA. Money is good, but no respect from management, be ready to be treated like a child. Captains authority has been eroded here. Come to work, collect the checks and go home.

I bid reserve on off months, fall and winter. There can be times where they don’t call you for a whole month or more from September until Thanksgiving. I can hold an OK line, but the trips used to be better before the CBA sadly.

The schedules are non existent since you don’t fly your line. You bid for days off. You will have no idea where you are going until the day prior.
The management is actually pretty good since the CP has your back. Retirement sucks, but that is the #1 issue on the next contract.
You WILL be gone for the entire 16 days, so if that’s an issue go to JB
