Without checking I'd say 4% (300+).
If you're hoping to get based there the base has been shrinking and guys kicked out have grandfather rights before any new guys, even the #1 on the list, can bid into the base.

To add to Sliceback's post: if you're not based in a "Cornerstone" base (JFK, MIA, DFW, ORD, LAX) your base is in danger of not existing in the next few years (DCA, BOS, SFO.) That's according to every higher-up I've asked.

About the same size as the last ten years' profits.
Oh....and STL.

Thanks, guys.
How big is JetBlue's Boston base, then?
It'd be nice to be based at home. I would like to have the option of doing serious international flying (American, Delta) but being based at home would be pretty sweet. It's a ways off before I could get in at either place but my E170/190 type would probably help at JB.

E190 FO: 117
A320 CA: 148
A320 FO: 155
Most of the BOS growth ahead is looking like E190, but either way you should be able to get back to BOS without waiting too long. Application window opens Sept 1, so get your stuff in!
