How long do you think the gateway select people will be on property before the first one decides to bail to a legacy?

I doubt JetBlue would care it's not like the company is paying for them. If anything it would just make another opening to get someone to pay

Yeah but the guy I was quoting said that wasn't the case. Hence my question.

Summer 2014 hires.

Maybe some more junior, just a quick glance.
West coast widebodies are going to 14,0XX as well. Basically within a year you can have any right seat you want, and a handful of left seats.

Meanwhile at BlueJet, you get to don gloves and clean the cabin of your narrowbody for 30-40% less compensation.

I'm not, but I witness it all too often. Especially when passing through BOS. Hmm...

Ok, I'll fix it for you. Meanwhile at BlueJet, you get attitude from the flight attendants when you don't don gloves and clean the cabin of your narrowbody for 30-40% less compensation.

I never clean and I've never gotten attitude. I'm usually one of the first off the plane. BOS based. maybe you should let the FA's know it's not in your job description. Seriously.

Oh, I do.

The point of the original post that you decided to ignore is we have hired our last captain, and a guy can hold the left seat at Delta within a year, and just about any right seat in the same time frame. Paid 30-40% less with worse career prospects. Wonderful.

Right.

But I was just answering to "upgrade", as opposed to "transition".

I hope to all things holy for all of our mental health that you have an app in there and they call and hire you.

You were not given good info (from the internet) and you came here. Life is worse for you at JetBlue vs your regional. The Boston guys suck, the FAs are rude, there are juicers lying on the internet to get guys to come here, the CBA progress is way to slow and could stop at anytime, we are 30-40% behind and on and on and on.

Dude there is no way you are going to be happy even if we do get a great CBA. Lots of the other things you don't like most likely won't change.

In no way am I saying if you don't like it leave(read that again) but I am saying that just from what you post(I don't know you except on here) I doubt you will ever be happy here. You don't want to go through life like that.

Trust me I wish this stupid CBA was done and we knew where we were going but the only information we can base things on is what we have now and there is no way we can even come close to Delta.

Honestly ATR I just hope you find some kind of happiness with your career if it is at JetBlue(I hope so)great if not this is the best time ever to go where you want.
