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

The BIG problem is the relative youth of the top 25%. The legacies are superior in pay/profit sharing and retirements (movement). This is important obviously.
I would characterize B6, under a new CBA, as a borderline career airline-for now anyway.
Flame away...

Nfw they do that unless they're morons.
DAL and UAL have the best CBAs. No one is leaving them.
