Do you think TPIC still matters that much? Certainly better to have than not, but I'm at a regional where upgrade is still years and years away.

I'd come here in a heartbeat, instead of riding that out.

Totally agree- as much as B6 is behind the majors in every way, it's miles better than any regional-- unless there's a flow to a major, no reason to "stick it out".
Just remain frosty and hungry for a legacy- a B6 future is an unknown entity these days. Good luck to you 👍

Thanks

Potential "flow" to UA at my regional. (Passed Hogan, but I still need to interview for it.) No firm idea on how long it would take, but it would be years, and entirely dependent on UA hiring numbers. The years of waiting would likely be at FO pay due to the upgrade situation. The opportunity for JetBlue would present itself much sooner.

That doesnt sound like a legit flow- You shouldnt have to interview for it.
Coming to B6 is no picnic. Reserve is garbage for a "major" and first year pay is probably what guys get at a regional with those bonuses now, although Im not really up on regional details.
2nd year, assuming you're off reserve, is where you would see a real improvement over a regional.
The other factor that would make Jetblue tolerable is location- If you live in NY or Bos, then it is not a bad situation. Pm me if you want more detail-
Im a more glass half empty guy but plenty of guys here who think B6 is the kitty's titty. Talk to as many as possible to get an accurate pic of B6.
Again- good luck.

Your concerns about JB and its [mis]management are completely founded. I have serious doubts about the future of this place too. BUT I have much deeper doubts about the future of every single regional airline out there. Probably should bail out, come here and get a new type then bail for an airline that treats you with respect and pays appropriately at your earliest chance. Welcome aboard. It's nice to have new hires that are immune to the blue juice.

Do we, though? How many planes have we deferred and supposedly we have a bunch coming later this year but we only upgraded 35?? If we are getting planes, they haven't staffed for them. This ELT has gone off the rails and the only thing keeping the peace here is planeloads of company propaganda.

They also haven't staffed for a new CBA which means they don't expect one soon -Neither should we.
Its either delusion, apathy, or idiocy. The trifecta here at Blue
Im hoping their choices are based on some grand plan, but when has that happened recently?
The reality of the line is not making it to the top.

Even if we got a cba today I bet the effective date for that sort of stuff would be enough time to staff properly. The company would say well we don't know when or what will be in a perspective cba so we aren't going to staff for it till we know for sure.

Really? How much to staff reserve/work rules? 10-15%?
Thats at least 350 right? New aircraft staffing- (50-100)
How will they do that and cover the attrition, even if its low (122).
If they plan on delaying for 1.5-2 years, there better be a cash award or the attrition will rise.
Id seriously like to hear from a P2P guy to explain the process of implementation and how the numbers would add up.
