There was talk of the company going back to the 6on/1off, but now they don't seem interested in making that change.

I use the one allowed unpaid reserve drop day to clean that up a little-face it, at first year pay what's the difference between 75 and 71 hours really.
With the 12 guarantee off, you should be able to get 3 off too.
You can also adjust them later, with the swap tool FLICA, and get to the 4/3 schedule that way.
I got a few PRL and REL, you should get them too, so couple extra days off here and there.

I'd wager very soon, maybe within the next class or two.
From what I hear the rooms are very small, only one communal kitchen facility per floor, and no guests allowed (forget about bringing spouse/gf to visit). It is one thing to be stuck here for a short recurrent stay, but to spend 5-6 weeks here as a newhire would be a bit painful in my opinion...

Is Jet Blue seeing people leaving for greener pastures like many of the other large equipment LCCs? Like SW junior FOs bailing for Delta etc.. Just looking at the APC info it looks like good pay and a decent upgrade time. Are most guys staying put? From the outside looking in it looks like a forever home.
