JB is far from the Mesa of the majors, in spite of what 8 or 9 regular posters try to spout. I would think that with as unhappy as some are to "work" here, they would have moved on to a legacy by now.

Yeah, it's that easy.
Why not try to make things better here instead? Nope, settling for mediocrity is the JB way!

There is a metric a$$-ton of difference between having self worth and whining. Just because some are happy with their station in life does not equate to them being less awesome than you. It may not be in your DNA, but I have found that people who are positive and look for the good in their daily lives find it and excel.
Sadly, those who are miserable and like to talk about it usually try to blame their circumstances on others or situations around them. Often an exercise in futility.
And I'm all about making things better at JB. But APC is not the way to accomplish that goal.

Which if the "majors" would you rank above JB?

B6 is its own worst enemy-hopefully we're bought or the BOD is replaced.

Fortunately, the negativity that I see here on APC does NOT extend into the cockpit 99% of the time. Most people with whom I have flown and talked love working here. Was recently on the JS with a 12-year CA and a 1+ year FO. Both were very glad to be here, and neither had apps out anywhere else. Hopefully anyone who is trying to come here see this self-maligning negativity for what it is, a handful of people who are just not able to find happiness in their lives.
Is jetBlue perfect? No, far from it. Is our contract great? Nope. Needs some work, and hopefully we will be seeing some LOAs soon. But overall, I am very satisfied with having a job where I get pretty darn good pay for not ever having to work. #winning!!

Hint- Hopefully It means I can go to UAL and keep my longevity.

Please take your Ford & Harrison talking points elsewhere. I'd like this to be a better place to work for anyone who gets stuck here. Apparently that triggers you.
