Jetblue hiring
Just curious, I see many threads on Jetblue interviews/hiring. How is it they can be hiring so many when they're not really growing that much? Attrition/retirements? Increased block hours?
Have they been consistently hiring since they started up in 2000? and how many pilots are they up to now?
Thx... 73

This is the problem with the Gloopy's of the world who predict an easy acquisition of B6 by SWA or AA. B6 is now almost twice the size of Alaska and AirTran, 4 times the size of Hawaiian. Not to mention financially healthy and profitable. Not an easy acquisition. Not saying it won't ever happen, however more likely a merger.

This is correct, with new hire class B6 is probably past the 2500 mark now. 200+ Hires this year, in March alone I think it was an 8.6% Traffic increase on 7.5% capacity increase, so passenger demand is outpacing capacity increases.

In contrast, a much higher percentage of our system is in new(er) routes that haven't fully matured yet. Also our stock price would increase if someone began to try a jb acquisition, which would raise our market cap noticeably .
