Not yet on board (not even invited for an interview yet) but I recently moved to Boston. It's a great city with lots of history. Personal situation (family/single/city-loving/more country-folk) will certainly have an impact on where one would choose to live and the cost that comes with that choice.

Lets see who else answers this question and get their take.
Definitely subjective, my opinion is a CBA keeps more people than no CBA as it gives some steadiness to the situation. As I really hope to make Jetblue my final stop I would like to see the merger stuff and a few other things made a little more ironclad, like healthcare and retirement.

Pay, believe it or not, is not my first priority. Not saying it isn't important just that to go and demand Delta rates would be irresponsible, and there are bigger things to worry about in the near term. The pay rates will come long term. If we do get a union here I hope we have reasonable folks at the table who will keep a cool head without being pushovers.

We need a CBA, however you bring up a great point about who will be running it. I just hope it is not the current student government (PVC). With the current group we would end up with worse than we have now, this I am certain of. New fresh bodies with level heads and yet still passionate about the common good of the pilots and the organization. I can think of of a few hopefully they will step up.
