Default Frontier V JB

I am lucky enough to have two job offers at both of these airlines. Having a hard time figuring out the best option. Faster upgrade at Frontier better bases with JB for me.

Where do you live? JB upgrade is 2.5 years on the 190, 3.5 on the bus, though that may change.

What's more important to you wait a little longer for upgrade while having a decent quality of life/commute/live in base (B6)or making less money at a sh!itty base making less on either seat? (F9)

Upgrade is pretty dynamic it can change for the worst or better by the time your number is up. That's just a roll of the dice. Base, commutability/quality of life is more consistent in my opinion.

Do you plan to stay around Boston? If so the answer is obvious.

This seems like a troll post to be honest. What’s next B6 v Cape Air?!

Without question, JB.
Like an absolute no-brainer.

So you’re thinking of commuting to a Frontier base vs. living in a large Jetblue base, for an extra $50-$60/hr while you’re commuting to Reserve as a F9 Captain. That pay advantage between F9 Captain and Jetblue FO would only last 2-3 years, then it swings the other direction. Plus you have to consider the sizeable difference in first year pay between the two and the advantages of driving to work.
