15 years huh? How exactly did you come up with that number?

While it's not quite 15 years now. It's something to ponder. the wave is cresting now for us. This assumes we take all our current deliveries and make no returns on leases. If you're not on property now the upgrade times will increase. Unless there's another aircraft order made 2022 is the end of the music. You better like your chair. Retirements don't even start to break 3 digits until about 2032. Our average pilot age is something like 42-44ish? We also have a good handful of thirty something captains. Many things will also hang on when we get and whats in the new contract.

There's truth in exaggerations.

Please listen to those of us who are at B6 already. Wait it out and get to a real airline- B6 is 3/4 of a major at best.

No, I think that's to get Christmas off as an FO. Or vacation in July.:eek:

^^^ All scary, All true ^^^ Meanwhile, a small army leaves each legacy thru 2040.

He can be a direct entry CA on the 737-max for NAI doing crossings.

Maybe we should all go;)

From top to bottom jetblue operates more like a regional with big airplanes than a major. You essentially have milenials in management positions with zero industry experience making critical financial, route, order and safety decisions.
While this type of management is beneficial with respect to passenger issues it continues to show a regional airline level of dysfunction from an operating standpoint. Whether you've been here a year or 15 it's difficult to deny the consistant level of dysfunction. As a front line employee who's career depends on the behind the scenes decisions being made by these individuals it is very difficult to take.

My impressions exactly. I really had high hopes coming here but it's certainly not what I expected in terms of Major airline operations.
