Jetblue it targeting those who, for the most part, won't make it. Just as they 'always' have.
I’m actually making the same point as you.

How could a Major airline know that a pilot is socially inept without interviewing the individual? Every single person in my class was tier 1 airline material. As far I know, everyone is trying to leave but most are not getting the call (myself included).

Based on Delta's own hiring statistics, they prefer less experienced and younger pilots. People that got stuck in the regionals during the lost decade are not getting the call. The mantra that a pilot that works at JetBlue is somehow inferior is simply false.

Cant argue with any of this. I started late in life and got a taste of seniority in the right seat with weekends and holidays off and it mde me complacent.
Then I took the 4 year upgrade on the bus. At 46, and Captain, Im not starting over.

Now we just need Tier 1 Pay && Rules (not trading one for the other).

This communique is for entertainment purposes only. It does not implicitly or explicitly acknowledge employment with any air carrier nor is any relationship implied. This communique does not represent the opinions or policies of ALPA or JB ALPA and does not represent the collective pilot group, ALPA, nor does it imply collective bargaining, advocacy, or workforce actions intended to disrupt operations.
