Am I wrong in saying the only real shot of advancement in the next say 2-3 years at JetBlue was attrition and that has slowed considerably? You're going to be on reserve for 2 years here in almost every base you can hold. If JetBlue is where you want to stay, patience is the name of the game.

I plan on being on reserve for life! Why wouldnt you be if you live 25 mins from base!

I get what you're saying and it was my impression as well, but is your reserve grid ever green? I can't even swap a random Monday for a Friday.

Likewise and I live 1+45. But when they downsize LA, I'll probably have to start being on reserve at another airline. The abandonment of the west coast is extremely concerning.

Eh, when they tie up with ALK you’ll be fine.

He mispelled it, he meant Alf.

Zero evidence that AS and/or B6 is presently planning on such a thing, not to mention there's no telling what the political climate would be if/when that time comes. On the other hand, lots of real steps have been taken with regard to our western presence.
