If it were guaranteed that I could get picked up elsewhere before my current company falls out from under me, I'd hold out. Right now, JB is my only option aside from lower paying, no schedule 135/91 stuff. I get it though. Without that contract JB is dead in the water. Interestingly, I went back and was reading a JB post from 2007 comparing pay scales at all of the different majors (the poster was arguing that JB was the highest paying). Back then, everyone was pretty equal, including Delta, United, JB, Virgin, etc. Idk why we can't just go back to that.
Edit: Here's the post -
JBlue really the 2nd best paying job - after F9. Everyone was pretty close back then.
