Dude do you read these forums?
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.

I don’t know either.

Honesty goes both ways... if you’re going to call a spade a spade.

Although I left jb, that doesn't mean I don't read the forums every now and again. My prior experience at jb may help someone on the fence and the more informed the better for all. Don't look too hard in to a first post, everyone had a first post right? Was simply my experience and mine only, however, you conveying your experiences to a potential coworker is a good thing as well. Its all good.

FWIW- I live in base and have had decent progression here helped along with mostly luck and timing. It’s been a good job with no major complaints. Plenty of squawks and lots of room for improvement still though, but happy enough to show up. I only live about a 45 minute drive away though which makes all the difference. What I tell others is that I am happy here with no intention to leave but...if I HAD to commute, I’d look to the legacies.

I am happy that that you changed your situation for the better one. Plenty on here are not as honest with themselves like you were and made your QOL better by leaving. They play they are the victim, they are stuck here, they can't do any better for themselves, this place is so bad, let me tell you how you should live your life cause I know better than you....

I enjoy it here. PLENTY of things we NEED work on no doubt. My commute is easy. QOL is awesome. I choose QOL over money and seat. It's simple for me. Others might want different. I have a few friends that have left and are very happy they left for their reasons but they do miss something about JB.

It's my opinion and I will be attacked soon after this is posted. Not in person... just behind the curtain like the "great and Powerful OZ"

You’re not alone HB... Chose to come here before hiring really ramped up. Decided to stay. My QOL is good as well. If others aren’t happy they should do something about it, rather than hurling tough guy insults on message boards.

I've been hounded by a few guys for leaving but then I just say "wait a minute, your seniority went up!" QOL in my opinion, is the most important thing to me, more so than money or anything else and that was a major driving force to look at other opportunities.

That's funny that you say you will be attacked for your post, I made one post and feel that way already haha, just have to laugh at it. Attacking others over differing opinions is not worth the engagement, it says more about the attacker than anything else. Good luck, I hope jb pilots get everything they deserve, I had a great experience with the people I flew with.

Oh he wasn’t talking about you :)
They will be here soon.

I know you personallly HyperBoy. You are speaking the truth here about multiple things and I agree with you. Anyone looking to come to JB don’t let the few unhappy people on here ruin your opinion, majority of the guys and girls I fly with also like the job. I still like going to work and tell every pilot interested in coming here the same thing. It’s not perfect but then again where is?
