JetBlue vs ULCC?
If one is looking to move on from the regionals and had a choice between JetBlue vs Spirit/Frontier, what would be the best option? Whoever calls first? Eventually would like to settle in Florida. I know the other 2 are more junior down south in Florida, but I think longterm I would prefer jetblue. Reading the moral on all three pilot forums seem pretty low. How would movement be for a new hire today at JetBlue? Are expectations for a contract looming or company may drag it out?

While there are obviously a lot more factors than compensation, this recent contract comparison guide created by Spirit’s union paints a detailed picture of where each airline is at the moment.

Most of the guys who are miserable that I fly with seem to be the ones who have to credit 125hrs a month just to get by… I’d be miserable too spending all that time in a metal tube no matter what name was painted on the outside. It’s amazing how many people can’t afford living off 300k

Crumble up a blue, yellow and green (with animal stickers on it) piece of paper. Put it in a hat, walk up to a stranger and have them draw out of the hat.
there is your answer.
