Boston JetBlue reserve

Hey all,

I have tried to find info and read all the threads but I am looking to speak with a current jb employee Boston based about QOL and pay on reserve. I live 40 minutes away and would like a perspective on it before I apply. I currently drive 3 hours to Ewr as an FO. If anyone in the new England area could contact me that would be great as I have no desire to commute.

Thanks

Delta or United will have more opportunities and are bound by a cba. Food for thought.

I was on reserve for a (small) stint in BOS. I also live 40 minutes away. I may be able to help you out.

Better off at UAL? How does this relate to the commute to BOS? I know several people at UAL and not one seems happy. Some of these posts make me think that there are actually people out there that don't even consider QOL, moral, or work environment when selecting a career airline.
