That’s such a loaded question. With so many variables. It’s also the internet and it tends to lend itself to negativity.Originally Posted by Benstein
Right, I’ve seen nothing but negativity from this forum, but heard largely great things from pilots out on the line. I’m weighing options for the future and can’t figure out where I stand with JetBlue. I’d like to ask all of you a question to help me with this.If you had the option to do most of your life over, knowing the things you know now, would you return to JetBlue? Why or why not?
Now I might get killed for the but it seems like our pilot group tends to be very defeatists. Now that could be because management has never done what they have said or it’s just the type we hire. If you read some of the Southwest stuff over there on going to HA the attitude is they are going to go out there and push out Hawaiian. Our group would never think like that. It would be oh we are going to get crushed. It’s actually an interesting thing and I’m not sure if it because of HR or our leadership or just the history of our airline but it seems like the default for our pilot group is everything will fail. Again that could just be trying to protect ourselves from disappointment or just history.
We are definitely very hard on our company but I think if you really look at most posts here it’s because we want JetBlue to do well. That’s what kills me. Management could have workforce that is really behind them but right now we are just treated as a cost that they have to deal with.
The roots of the company were built on I guess you could say true believers and we have simply become some corporate entity. It’s like what burning man turned into. That rebellious idea is long since dead, replaced with corporate speak.
I still like JetBlue and don’t regret coming here but it could be so much better and it wouldn’t be hard to do.
