Personally, I get below average pay (and well below average profit sharing) to show up more days per month, work long and tiring days, then stay at oftentimes unacceptable hotels where I try to make up for frequent circadian flips, all while responsible for familiarizing myself with frequent SOP changes and being on the top of my game 100% of the time in case god forbid there is an emergency that threatens the lives of everyone on board and people on the ground.
Clearly we don't do the same job.
"Just happy to be here" and "I can't believe I get paid for this" are two of the biggest enemies of advancing the pilot career. Talk about "immature."

He's not wrong. Why do you think JB targets people without 121 experience? It's so much easier to manipulate and indoctrinate them. Perhaps you are a good example of that?
On that note, Vets In Blue isn't there to help Vets. It's there as a PR stunt and to recruit pilots who will blindly follow Giggity's orders.

Which position do you have that you get "darn good pay" for not ever having to work?

It is angry and immature to suggest that we "try to make things better here instead" of settling for mediocrity?
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.

I understand. Sadly, the regular negative posters here have been at it for over two years. I am sure it detracts from the enjoyment of anyone wishing to come to work for JB, and I think that is pretty lame.
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!!
