QOL
I’ve got a decision to make; go to JetBlue or stay at my regional captain job. With my current job soon paying money that I won’t see again till I’m in the left seat at JetBlue, not to mention the prospect of having to move or commute, I’m not sure it’s a clear decision.
The one thing that may tip the scale in JetBlues favor could be quality of life; and by quality of life I largely mean number of days off per month. Next month I’m scheduled for just 11 at my regional job.
How many days off does a reserve at JetBlue get? A junior lineholder? Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence?

Short Call reserves get 13-14 days off a month. First day can't start before 10am
Long Call (14 hour callout) 12-13 days a month. First day can't start until 1400

Don’t make the decision in a vacuum. One day the money looks great and the next every major airline has a new contract and you are way behind again. I fly perma reserve by choice. I live in base and work approx 7 day a month and I think that’s a stretch. I get sick of being home so much but I want to be home with my family will kids are young. Also, pay rates on APC are inaccurate as well as pilot and aircraft count. Many of us have sent updates but the apparently don’t GAS.

They’ve parked some. Still own/lease them though. That’s a bit harder to stay on top of until they are returned to lessors, sold, or scrapped, so I can cut them some slack there. But putting up payrates for planes that aren’t on property nor on order (outside a few options to convert to 221) instead of the pertinent rates of the planes on order/on property (ie 223) is a little harder to cut slack for.
