320 as a new hire? I wouldn't count on it 100%, but if you're senior in your class, possible. A lot of current 190 drivers hitting their seat lock want the raise so that may kill it for you depending on what they want for the particular class.

Future of the company? Got a coin to flip?

Hiring? They said 400 I think but numbers for everything are pretty inflated here...including on time performance and and speak up survey participation.
LAX is a co-domicile. There are trips that start and end out of LAX.

I heard some senior guys in class are bidding 190 to get better QOL. Any truth to this?

Same pay rate, much shorter reserve, no redeyes, more money as a lineholder 190 guy than a reserve bus guy (usually), and only a 1 year equipment lock for newhires? I would do the same unless I was trying to get FLL or LGB. Or if I planned on bidding reserve anyway. Everyone’s situation is different tho.

Definitely. Very short reserve time on the 190. Slow movement on the Bus.

I agree with all the above that QoL and money is better on the 190 year one. But movement on the bus is picking up, and is likely to continue for the next 6 months. Should only slow again if the next bid fills all 320 slots with pilots on property.

How long does it take to hold LAX?
What are the chances of getting the 320 as a newhire?(I am typed and don’t feel like getting typed in the embraer if it’s going extinct pretty soon)
What do you Jetblue guys think about the future of the company (upgrade,growth,etc..)?
Last but not least. What are jetblue’s hiring plans for 2019 and when shall I get expect the window to open?
Your help is greatly appreciated

The bottom half of the FO list is pretty junior. The top 30% is 9-17 yrs on property. You’ll probably get out there in 1 year but you will never upgrade out there. Ever....

Think of B6 as a "safety school"
And if the West coast is a priority, forget about Blue and concentrate on the majors. Good luck to ya.

Safety school? Not sure I get that joke. Wouldn’t the regionals be “safety school?”

Regionals would be High School in this analogy...
