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)

Like I said I did read and “comprehend” the issues you had in your career in the other thread that I was lucky to avoid. It’s been 2 airlines with upgrades sub 4 years at both for me. So your stuff just like posts about some of our pilots that have health issues gives a nice reality check.
It is a tough call. Being from SNJ (not saying you are)myself the idea of driving to JFK would scare me. Honestly I would look more at F9 at least they know what they are. The only 2 things that would really worry me is will that growth keep going and will PHl always be there. That I can’t answer.
JetBlue is an airline with very little leadership right now and no real direction. It’s financials are strong and they definitely don’t over extend themselves. Everything is done slowly very slowly. It’s very boring “growth”
Not it could all change if we go to Europe or we get a CEO that understands the potential of this airline or we get bought (I’m leaning toward the last one)
Roll the dice but if United or AA (I worry about AAs debt) calls you better bail

One issue I would have, even though I would probably leave for frontier if I lived in Denver would be that the are growing fast and just opened philly. You don’t know what that base is going to be or for how long it will be there. I think I read rumors that ord might be going away so you just never know with this career. So come to Jetblue and if you get the offer for frontier evaluate it with your family and see how it will be.

Until that happens this is all theory.
Obviously take the JetBlue job and see what happens with Frontier. Only other thing to consider is which base is definitely not going anywhere? We know unless JetBlue gets bought and even if they do JFK is staying. That might not be true for PHL and Frontier but you never know. Just my long term thinking if it’s only based off a base.
Also as we all know (right bluedriver) growth is not a sure thing. It can just as easily slow at Frontier as it has here. Actually super rapid expansion can lead to exactly that.
Get the job offer and make the decision at that point.
