Choose a base where you don't mind sitting reserve and can commute to easily.
Thanks, I live in Florida so either bos or Jfk is fairly easy. Favoring Bos as I have had my share of JFK. I would like to hold a line as everyone else and thinking the 170 (whoops...190) is obviously quicker as you pointed out. But the flying of the Bus seems nicer as far as destinations and routes. ( I prefer long routes). Either way I am looking forward to the challenges and ready to have a good time meeting new peeps. Thanks for the input.

It'll probably be a looooong time before you can hold a line on the "170"... unless you know something I don't know.

If you're offered a job at Jetblue and sign the individual contract, do you make a commitment to the company? As in, you're not allowed to leave within the first two years?

Thanks
