Do you guys think that a new hire today would be better off at Spirit or jetblue ?
Pay rates are not that far apart. Although some items are notably better at Spirit with the new contract, i.e. 10-15% DC to 401K, scheduling etc.. But whenever JetBlue gets their new contract, is it not likely be better than the new spirit contract?
Any other negatives about B6 that are not obvious on the surface when comparing them to spirit and other low cost carriers?
jetBlue is certainly a more respected carrier by the public than Spirit and Frontier.
In relation to basing, how long before a new hire could expect to hold FLL or MCO, and which aircraft would get a new-hire to those bases the quickest?

FLL is possibly within a year on the bus I believe.. MCO is right around 2 on the 190 and at least 4 or more on the bus.
If Spirit still plans a lot of growth I would go there. B6 will be in negotiations for a lot longer. Until we have a contract, commuting to reserve can be miserable and first year pay here is demeaning at best.
