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.

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.
