Hello. I am in need of some honest opinions. I am currently an FO at a regional. Current upgrade time is DEC next year. (Maybe sooner). Flow is projected about 6 years. I am trying to make the decision to go to JetBlue or stay with a regional and upgrade. My commute for Jetblue would be difficult. But I know current pilots who live near me and make the commute work. I can 100% see myself at JetBlue for my career. Not saying I wouldn’t keep my apps open for other places. But I would be very happy with JetBlue. Any thoughts? Stay at regional upgrade and see if I get a call for an easier commute? Go to JetBlue?

I can’t even believe this is a question. Pass up on a major to stay at a regional 6 more years for a flow? There’s a list of reasons this is a terrible idea lol…not to mention the 190 upgrade here just went under 2 years.

If a 6 year flow to AA vs a job at jetblue is even a consideration, they would likely bail within a year or 2. I don’t even bother (anymore) trying to help convince people like that why going to jetblue would be a good idea.

My sentiments exactly. I’m not wasting my time on people that need to be convinced to come here.

Consider that taking a job at a major airline could make you even more attractive to AA. Airlines love to hire away from their competition. That 6 year flow, could turn into a 2 year opportunity.
Should the call never come, you're still firmly planted with a solid future at a career major, and not at some regional.
Although if you like meowing on guard, you should certainly stay where you are.
