"general public" LOL! General Public is definitely going to feel bad for us pilots not being paid enough for our 15 days a month average working days. General Public goes to work every day, minimum 8 to 5, minimum 5-6 days a week, every week, with an average income of $56K/year. Do you really think the "general public" is going to feel bad for pilots? It's funny.

And then the village idiot arrives to tell JetBlue how great it is. You must not have noticed the strong and common theme among those who answered the "for those who left JetBlue" thread.
According to those who have worked at JB and a REAL major, it really is that much better Juicebox.

So until you are on strike, paid less, get less days off, can’t trade in your PTO for cash, don’t get override for night and international, you won’t scare new hires.

I see, and understand, your point about how horrible life at Jb is, by as horrible as it is, as so poorly paid as you are and so mistreated, it will still be better than Spirit pay and better than all the “regionals” combined, so as bad as it sounds it’s still golden for the future new hires coming from Endeavor, Mesa, Gojet, Envoy, PSA, Piedmont, Commutair, Republic, Expressjet, Skywest, Compass, etc.

Pilots really are their own worst enemies.
Unreal dude.

Oh so what, you want people who have ****ty pay and ****tier work rules to stay at mediocre level and not take a better job? You are pretty self-centered I would say. But why are you still at jetblue, whinning, why aren't you getting hired where grass is greener?

I encourage you to use JB as the stepping stone to something better. Many of us will bounce if/when the call comes.
