This is the type of reading that makes me wish the economy took a tumble and some furloughs happened. Just to remind some that this times are ridiculous good.

BoomerIt is hard because for some of us this is just a job, and being 6 states away doesn’t really help much at getting father of the year award. Thanks for the inside though

CA here..... you know, I went from making $36 an hour at a regional (my second regional at that) and through begging, and pleading, got hired at Blue..... Making $50 an hour. I had never felt so rich in my life. I guess I'm either: A) old B) crusty C) out of touch but man.... how things have changed...... I hope you get max $$$ wherever you land, but wow, do I feel out of touch. EDIT: I'm now making almost 7 times that much, and I still remember how excited and proud and rich I felt making $50 an hour |

uhhhhh... do we agree? Weird. But yeah, 100% this. |
I remember my middle of the month paycheck (insurance taken out) at the regionals being like 600 dollars 😂

Let’s paint our faces together. |
Thanks for all the positive msg but I only ask because I am very satisfied with the pay at the regionals and would more than happy stay here to raise a family, I understand a lot of you airheads thing this job is everything but I would rather stay at a regional and be able to see my family more instead of sitting reserve 6 states away for another 2 years.
P.S. just wanted to know how long are reserve times at B6 |

P.S. just wanted to know how long are reserve times at B6 I don't think all of them were commenting with malice. It's more so how the post came off. It sounded like a "I'm not super sure about Jetblue and want to be at a legacy and am currently having a good QOL so why come to jetblue". Have to realize that what we are experiencing hasn't and won't always be like this. A lot of these guys dealt with the industry after 9/11. 08 recession and lost decade. Years upon years of making terrible money with crap rules and contracts hoping one major would call. Right now it's the opposite for people getting in. Advice I always give and take with a grain of salt of course. A lot of the regional raises are temporary. It won't last forever. All it takes is another recession, pandemic, insert whatever crazy event to flip the industry upside down. Where would you want to be stuck at and would you be kicking yourself in the butt if you passed over a job at a major because you just got a line and don't want to be on reserve again? Especially if a legacy does call you'll be right at the bottom and on reserve again. Some of the other threads have better and more up to date reserve times. Best of luck. |
