It will take some time, but hopefully eventually you will stop seeing yourself as Mr. Discount Pilot Guy.

As you can see from our snap-up, JB pilots intend to be in the hunt with the top 4-5 passenger airlines, although admittedly they are taking a couple years to get there fully'ish.

What a time to be a PILOT.

Untill then I feel for you walking down the terminal walking past a Delta or United pilot and know that your Peni…I mean profit sharing doesn’t measure up.

Speak for yourself. I’ve never felt insecure around legacy guys; a huge number of them are horribly miserable, unpleasant people. I wouldn’t ever trade my life for theirs.

And the ones who aren’t, which is a growing majority, they understand and act like we’re all in this together, because we are. Thankfully the miserable ones are retiring in droves…

But maybe we can get those sweet jackets in our JCBA?

B6 had cool leather jackets until the British took over. Then it became unprofessional.
