Where would you rather be stuck or waiting for something else if that’s what you want.

Nothing we don’t even know if he is a pilot or what. I still think it could be Barney they have the same posting habits. Lots of pictures and military talk. Both came around after the AIP.
There are some good points but it’s just obscured by the BS. It’s like watching political pundits talk...bla bla bla.

I sold mine recently just in case anything funky happens, and I get stuck not being able to sell. I figured the difference was small, and potentially much bigger if I wait and can't sell at premium.

Isn’t there a way to trade vacation with a buddy.....sell the PTO and then trade the vacation back? Or is that “loophole” closed?

I dunno. I suspect that would work though.

I should have mentioned that I hit 3rd year pay in August, and that was the main reason why I was waiting to see what happens.

Not in the CLT crew room because of broken servers and delayed flights as far as the eye can see

Without knowing specifics it’s hard what to suggest but I would consider the legacies first for all the reasons mentioned on this board. I don’t view jetblue as a career job but depending on your situation and seniority it may be better to sit at jetblue for a while until a legacy calls
