Yet another "Stay or Leave" post.
I've been at B6 for coming up on 4 years now, based in MCO. I came here because I wanted to live in FL, and I didn't want to be furloughed. I'd been holding out on leaving because of fears of a furlough back when everyone in my class left. Now it's been years, and all my classmates that went to legacies are having a ball while we've been struggling to grow. I was feeling, a bit optimistic back when I thought we might gain Spirit's route network, but now that thats all fallen through and with all the downgrades coming, I just feel like I sold myself short. Now don't get me wrong, B6 has been good to me, but I'd be lying if I said I really look forward to the next 30+ years at this moment in time. Now with an april class date offer from UAL, I'm stuck wondering if the possibility of a furlough in the near future is worth the risk. The economy isn't looking great right now, and hiring is starting to slow down. I've got good senioriy at B6 with 1,200 below me, but I'm not sure if thats saying much when I fly with 12+ year captains on reserve. Things worth noting: - 32 - no kids - no wife - no debt - no mortgage - widebody flying seems cool, but isn't a main driver - don't mind commuting for now if I know it'll be worth the long-term gain All things being equal, I feel relatively good about JetBlue's future, but thats only because I think we will be bought in the next 2-4 years. Is it worth staying to find out? WWYD? |
I don't know....what should I do....everyone in my class left and is having a blast...
I'm done. |
Just make the decision to go or stay but waffling back and forth will probably screw you in the end.
If you don't want to go to UA let them know because I am sure there are others that would love to take that slot. |
Like others have said, go to UAL and don't look back. Retirements haven't peaked yet and UAL is in a strong position financially with good leadership. Like a few others have said, worst case is you get furlouged for a bit and return with job at UAL.

WTF is this irrelevant nonsense? Not a damn thing applies to the OPs question. Sounds like the typical bitter captain you can spot a mile a way, walking through the terminals.
To the OP: my opinion would be that you are in a great position to go. I started over after a decade and am older with more responsibilities. I still think it a good move, just know it's gonna take a minute (maybe years) to hold MCO. |
You just said it, hiring is slowing down , planes being retired , and you fear a near furlough.

I’m no defender of the Reeboks and cell phone holster…..but the women’s pants and silly “Goose” mustache y’all have…..isn’t a solid look, either.

No regrets at all! Won’t go into personal details! But I was scared and unsure too, coming out of covid times. |
