Hard to accurately say due to all the shuffling of senior people bidding for $. Will take a few system bids for everything to settle in. Safe to say FLL is becoming senior, probably 2.5 years to hold it at all.

Truthfully, without being *****y towards the company what do the schedules look like for new hires after line training . Can I hold MCO
With that said, ten years from now would you rather be at American or Jetblue?
A short term gain by coming to JB vs. long term at AA? One could argue that the fate of AA is much more certain than the fate of JB.
And don't buy in to all the culture BS. Every company has good and bad people in the CP office. Buying in to the culture is akin to joining a cult.

Take the $$ equation out for a moment. You are going to make plenty of money at either airline. Will you make more at AA over your career, yes! But you will make good money here as well. So, QOL is way more important. Let’s face it, if you can’t be happy making 250k and even more, then you have other issues. The money isn’t everything. Happiness is! Choose the company you would be happiest at, the money will follow.

. I enjoyed reading the comments section and all those that thanked her for her honesty - she might send you a post card from her HDN hideaway.

Also interested in seeing how the whole getting bought thing plays out.

Its just bothersome that they can't be open and honest with us. Sort of like how we are all about "organic growth" when we were trying to buy virgin
Our market cap is 5.242B. Not a bad deal for 240ish airplanes, 3600 pilots, and great real estate in JFK, FLL, MCO, and BOS
Isn't the cost of the JFK expansion supposed to be about 1/2 of our market cap?

So maybe more than half our market cap.
I didn't realize how expensive it was going to be. This doesn't bode well for expanding the fleet size. We will be leveraged up to the hilt. If we had held cash instead of buying back $1B of stock at $22/share maybe it wouldn't require as much financing.
Maybe we can use the steady stream of profits from our tech ventures to pay for it.
