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.
Ignore halon I think he'd have us flying for 2012 rates I'd he could.

Yes, someday I will learn what you tough me Bluedriver…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. That feel king have to over compensate because your pay rate is so small.

but for me Mr. discount airline pilot guy all I care about is how cool I look with my sweet jacket when I walk by…

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.

So why do you think they are so miserable? Maybe because they are alway b!tching about how they should get paid more than the other guys.

after reading the Spirit and JetBlue forums you would think it’s a bunch of American pilots.

For one brief fleeting moment we agree
