Yeah not exactly my point.
Just talking route structure (for now)

Again my opinion. If that is the case, doesn't mean it's right.
I had 9600ish when I got hired here nearly 3 yrs ago.

No way. Their 2nd year pay is $100/hr on the 747. JB makes more in the long run, but Also, When you do 14hr legs, it's not hard to break guarantee. They don't even have all their amazon planes on the line yet because they don't have enough pilots. i would have gone if they called. I prefer to work a lot and then be off a lot. So for me it would've been perfect. But they are on par with us pay wise for at least the first 5 years, except you upgrade faster over there.

You should wander over to the Atlas hiring page, it is not a place you want to get stuck at if the music stops. Atleast here if you get stuck, it's not the worst thing in the world.

I turned down an offer from Atlas and currently at JB on the bus. No regrets. But then again I live in Boston and not ANC.

A couple of peeps have actually chosen Atlas over B6 while waiting for class dates. You may not be aware, but commuting and sitting rsv is miserable. Atlas guys have a lot to deal with and negotiations may get nasty, but they are able to avoid jump seats and crashpads by having a plane ticket and a hotel room. Just ask any of your commuters who were formerly at Comair how much they enjoy their commute.
It's a personal choice I guess and from what I see here, jetBlue ain't the best place to be. There are a healthy amount of Atlas FO's gaining class dates at Purple and Brown so it can't be that bad of a stepping stone.

It's a great stepping stone, but if the music stops. It's not a hard choice between which place I'd rather be stuck.

Hopefully both places end up becoming destinations. Thankfully it turned out that way for UPS drivers. You never know.
