There's only one way to find out.

Just under 2000 for that window....about 1850

Last class had 20+ new hires, all went Airbus JFK. The next class is this week and is suppose to be just as big. They are handing out class dates for June already.

I bet the majority, if not all, slots will be JFK Airbus next few classes, maybe a few BOS choices but very little or no 190.

I was almost thinking of not applying.... Honestly Delta, United, American in third. JetBlue is good, but obviously they're far behind the legacies in many respects.

True. But better than a regional. Too many regional guys think they are too good for jetblue, Spirit and Atlas but at the end of the day you, your bad day at those airline is better than your best day at a regional.

Never pass up an interview offer. Worst case it's good practice.

My QOL has definitely deteriorated at JB over prior regional, only upside is that MAYBE by 4th year pay I might be making more in pay.
