Good luck is all I can say. This isn't your fault and you are trying to make good decisions with imperfect information. But there are other airlines that will hire you and those airlines aren't that bad overall. |

So yes some narrow body guy below you might end up ahead on the narrow body only, but you'd be riding the WB plane forever. Northwest Republic merger had a 30 year fence on the WB planes.

The expidited appeal was approved. A ruling is expected in June. Thats a long time to wait and see what happens. I expect a lot of people will leave.

The appeal won't be successful anyway. There is a better chance of B6 pulling out of the deal in July while waiting for the appeal ruling. The appeal is nothing more then a distraction for the future bankruptcy

Can't deal with their pilot culture and I'm 38.
I’ve heard this before about delta and “pilot culture”. With every legacy having an NYC base I can see putting them at the back of the line based on seniority demographics alone but culture? Is that really something anyone should consider when talking about a multimillion dollar career. Who GAF about culture. This job is about money and time off. Delta should be far ahead of JetBlue if going in as a NH |
