yes, the pea thing is a hypothetical.

Look for an email from JB ALPA about the scheduling after the Jan. Run is complete.

I know at least 5 people who have been hired by both JB and SWA.
If you could start class next Monday at either, which would you pick?

JetBlue. Southwest is a great company with great people, but the 10+ year upgrade and limited growth are off putting.

That is a VERY interesting question, as I am faced with that exact dilemma at this moment. I agree that both are outstanding companies with certain advantages/disadvantages to each. I have been weighing it all over for the past month but will have to pull the trigger shortly on one of them. Good choice to have but a tough one nonetheless.

Sadly, in my case, neither. I live in South Florida and now that it is taking well over a year to get FLL with JB and MCO takes about 3.5 at SW, I would have to commute either way.

Pros:
SWA: No PBS, opportunity to work extra, larger route structure, AWESOME healthcare and dental plans (350$ a month-or 0 a month with one of their plans), good culture
JB: quick upgrade, good culture

Cons: SWA-not Herb's airline anymore-that really isn't a con
Longer upgrade
Cons JB: less pay, not good health benefits, not good for commuting from my location, no CBA

Anymore to add?
