UAL isn’t buying anybody, not with 4,000 hires in the next 3 years, unless we buy a fragmented airline.

What I do know is you and I have no say in it.

I also have a 2day later in the month that has 3 legs each day. It's going to pay me almost 16 though.
I did have a 3day recently that had 3legs/2legs/4legs. Yeah I was tired on that last day with about 10hrs duty. I think it paid min rig of 19.
Typical for me is 4 3-day trips a month with average 2-3 legs per day.

This is a period of airline boon time!!! JetBlue began in the worst of economic times. We thrived, grew and profited. 1999-2009. Now, it’s the best of times, yet we stagnate. With excuses, side-steps and let downs. We make grandiose statements and sign side deals that make no sense. (Norwegian Deal) We have 2 neos. 0 220’s They say we’re hiring 3,000 in the next 4 years.
The last 2 days have spurned 16 RSA releases. Heavily focused on BOS and MCO 190. 2 locations where the 2020 staffing model calls for over 20 reductions in 190 Captains in these cities. That’s almost a month of days for reserves in these 2 bases where they claim we’re over staffed.
The bottom line is this company is mismanaged. I’m starting to get very nervous about my future and if I can have a 20 years at jetBlue as a career. I pray to sweet little baby Jesus in swaddling clothes to please please have United buy us. But, I fear that that’s M&A could lead to an Allegiant/ Frontier/ JetBlue ‘Trumponian’ PERFECT DEAL.
