I take home roughly 1800 every two weeks after all is said and done. I do not have jetblue health insurance, but, I live in New York (taxes) and max out my 401k to get the max from JB and contribute 2% to the stock purchase plan.

Go to the bus, the red eyes are bad, but you will be whooped after a 12 hour day with half of that parked at the gate.

A bit of a bummer if you all get to within a year or so of upgrade only to see it go back up a few years out of reach again. Who knows though...I have no idea what I'm talking about and am just speculating like anyone else.
I plan to upgrade before the CBA to beat the potential wave and I know many others who are planning the same.

Of course, we could write the language however we wish, but it would be seriously crappy to have senior guys bumping out junior captains just because they finally decided to upgrade. They can bid on new positions only. There has to be some benefit to biting the bullet and taking first upgrade.
