In no way could I ever recommend working at jb. Maybe the place has changed since Barger left and getting a union is probably an improvement to the direct relationship that existed. The pilot group was great, but ultimately I blame myself for not doing more homework on jb before I accepted the job. I bought in to the blue juice that was sold to me at a career fair and that is on me. Bottom line, do your homework before you go anywhere.

Maybe a detractor, but it’s a general optimism and good morale.

What more do you want? Should every single post say run away? If you read these things it’s pretty clear and if it’s not you will certainly clear it up. I don’t get what more you want. Not trying to be rude I just don’t think it’s this massive juice fest here.
