Nope!
When the music stops I'd say SWA, FedEx, and UPS are your best bets. In that order.

I was going to contribute but...nah

. I stated in my post that base was one of the considerations, not the only one. Read much?

Actually I did miss the part about your interview and I’m sorry about that.

As for your read much comment the base thing is reasonable. Base is one thing long term viability of said base is another which was my point.

I wasn’t trying to be a jerk dude.
Pilots tend to play the theory game when they don’t even have an interview that’s all I was getting at since I missed that you do.

Beyond that I was actually following your post in the Frontier forum and it seemed that you got dealt a crap hand.

Having said that it seems like even if it’s not Frontier you will bail for pretty much any other carrier, that “why JetBlue question” must of had a very interesting answer at the interview.

But yes as always it’s up to JetBlue to attract and retain pilots.

Good luck whatever you come up and if you decide to stick with us welcome.

I read it as jerk-ish. You clearly didn't take the time to read what I wrote, and then responded with " Just my long term thinking if it’s only based off a base," which I clearly stated it wasn't.

I do agree that base matters, and I do think that JFK has the most long term viability in JFK. A brand new base in PHL at F9 is a huge potential up or down. Could be anyone's guess right now.

I apologize if I was overly agitated. I appreciate the feedback, and the apology.

Since you edited your original post, I'll respond to this separately.
Really? I am very happy to be in the pool at JB, and have stated such numerous times. I have specific reasons personal to me to want to work at JB. The only reason F9 came into the foray was the PHL domicile, something I also made quite clear, perhaps you missed that, too.

Go to F9. Yes, please just go there, Potato guy.

This one I could have misinterpreted



This one maybe not?

And here I thought (you told me) PHL wasn’t the only reason

Now see that is being a jerk. Look if you do come here make sure you get on bluepilots (our internal forum)I think you would enjoy it. Honestly I wish you luck (not in a rude way)

Yeah, the top was in jest, but to be fair, also true. Those airlines have the best track records in bad times...

The second is accurate. I do have updated apps in at those airlines. Mostly because I am not in a class at JB yet! Until I'm actually on property, my apps will be out and updated. I can't make a decision how much I like Blue or not until I am there and working. I know I want to work there, but I'll keep my options open until then. I don't think that implies I'm ready to bail for "pretty much anywhere".

I sincerely do appreciate it. And your ability to not take semi-anonymous forums too personally, a trait many lack.
