Just wait until Jetblue starts shinking due to inability to staff. The wheels could really come off the bus then.

JB will be trying to staff the airline this summer with extra hugs and blue chips. You guys need to get PAID to end the exodus.

Many of those cats have 30 years to go before mandatory retirement. They will make out pretty good. I have been applying to JB for quite some time and have recently quit because the flow is close and a much better financial/base deal. It is my hope that ya'all get a standard or better first contract. If that was the case, I might be back to try and beat down the doors when the flow scam fails.

Nope.
Due to a disproportionate amount of ex-MIL pilots leaving JB for the big 3 +SWA, JB is only going to do ViB once per year. Sounds like they're evaluating what their target demographic pilot will be. That will likely mean less prior mil pilots and more pilots that either will live in base or be less desirable at the bigs... Yay us...

What is the big deal about living in base here?

They figure if you live near one of our bases you'll be happy, thus, less likely to leave for one of the majors if it means you'll have to be a commuter.

This seems like a likely reason. Living in base is huge in this career.
