I left jB after six months for only one reason. I had a tough, two leg, offline commute, and couldn't afford to move to a jetBlue domicile. I loved the airline and the people for the short time I was there though.

Even with the bonus it's rough. 75 hrs a month (post training of course) with little or no per diem. Not a complainer, but there's more month than money and I live modestly. Psychologically, I can see the perspective of dropping a commute and increasing pay out of the gate. I've got friends suggesting I apply at AA and from what I gather could get DFW FO right out of the gate (on the shady 80). Still sticking it out at B6 with the mindset that everyday is cold, wet, and sandy and the only easy day was yesterday...

So don't be offended if I slam click and survive off protein shakes and Blue Chips for four days. Can't be sipping beers while the wife worries when the next mortgage payment can be made.

You quit already, where did you go? Another Major or back to Corporate?

Did you not know that first year pay at any Major sucks? You should have been planning for this if it was your goal to advance to a major! But hey, if you live in Dallas, then AA is the way to go, first year pay sucks there too!

Till then, enjoy the blue chips
