Do a majority on here have apps at the big 3/4/5 or whatever number it is?

I am glad that this thread got started as well. Hopefully it potentially saved you from wasting an opportunity at working for a true Major airline. I have been here a year and I am actively updating my apps. In my eyes, people that defend this place are simply misinformed about how things work at the other airlines. Most of my friends work at the other Majors and we trade stories every time we meet. Everything I hear from them makes me want to leave ASAP.

Out of 15 in my class I know that at least 9 are trying to leave.

Thanks to all of you for the candid posts. I've been interested in JetBlue for a while now and attended the Vets in Blue conference last month. This definitely paints a different picture than that which was represented there. Though somewhat depressing, I appreciate the insight. Hoping for better things in the future, and best of luck to you all.

Good luck to you and everyone else trying to leave for better things. Can't say I blame you. I've started at the bottom way too many times over the past 10 years that I'm hoping this is the last time. I have confidence that it will be, but time will tell....

When were you hired? Here for just about 9 months. 1 left and no one else planning (as of now) to leave.

January class. I should add that pretty much everyone I talked to about it won't admit that in the open.

I'd ask a few guys you know over here before judging off an internet thread.

Remember, these guys have said as much...They'd prefer you don't come here because it helps our bargaining position.

I agree but no matter how you slice it JetBlue is no American.

One year from the flow or JetBlue isn't even a question, unless maybe you live in a blue base and don't mind waiting to *maybe* get compensation parity for a few years. Jump in your raft grab a candy bar and go with the flow.
