But if you looked at my post you would see that it is pointless. No matter what I say you will have a negative spin with it.
Go look at bluepilots I'm pretty sure JetBlue could send out gold bars to the pilots and they would complain about the weight.

There is plenty to criticize but I think even you would agree people get carried away. Unfortunately that is the cynical world we live in and JetBlue has done it's part to foster that environment.

But yes I am still positive about the long term at JetBlue.

We are on a 0.00000003 degree glide slope toward improvements.

It's any decade now.

Reason to be positive!!!

To Joe: my Outlook on JB will change when JB's outlook actually improves. It has NOT changed yet, besides deferring more deliveries recently. Oh and ATC running JB's operations poorly.

You be positive, I'll be accurate.

Honestly I don't care about your views on JetBlue. My problem with you again is that you said something I simply didn't say and argued with it. You should get a show on cable news.

And now with this you be positive I'll be accurate crap.

Such a holier-than-thou act.

You really should get that show.

I'll take that over being the one defending JB 98% of the time. I've had enough of the blue colored juice until they put something in it other than lavatory solution.

Again that is false. Certainly not 98%
But that doesn't fit your narrative. I thought you were the "accurate" guy.
Anyway it's nice to have your "truth" back in this forum after your little break. Good thing because we were recruiting guys left and right with all our blue juice.

Last I checked crewtrac the seniority list hadn't hardly grown at all.

We’re at 3500+. I got hired a year and a half ago and I was at 3250. That’s still pretty decent growth considering we’re losing about a 100 a year.

On average since 2012 we’ve added 200 a year to the list.

I was an 08’ hire and I’ve moved fwd almost exactly 200. From 2000-1800.
We have 3500ish now.

It’s not lightning fast, but certainly not nothing. We are still taking deliveries of 1 plane every 6-8 weeks. Slow, but still growth.
