The new JetBlue post merger will have over 600 Airbus ordered/operating. SWA has a little over 700. JetBlue will be the largest Airbus operator in the USA, (from the Airbus order book.)
I’ll make a bet, I’ll bet JBLU sees 600+ planes before Kirby reaches his goal of 28,000 pilots by 2030.

Whats with you YoNited boys coming over to talk crap? Sure, order book. Who cares? The point was with a large order book, Airbus will listen when it comes to engine issues.
But like I said, I’ll take the bet on the JBLU order book vs your 28000 pilot total. I don’t think there are enough women to join your aviate program to make that happen.

As of right now im showing around 500 total (JB+NK) with orders of 300 which won't be completed until 2027. For SW im showing 814 with 573 orders. (A lot of those to replace older 73's) but still not exactly sure how you are getting "we will be the same size" post merger. On top of their market share of 17% with a JB+NK combined market share of 9%.
2027 is just over 3 years away which is when JBLU will be close to integrated with NK. You realize this takes years to happen? It will take years for the post merger JBLU, the new combined airline, past 2027.
The point is JBLU will be a large player with Airbus, close to the same size as SWA is with aircraft and its influence on Boeing. So JBLU with its current fleet, delivery book etc, is not going to allow Airbus to tell them to “wait for engines,” just as Boeing does what SWA basically tells them
in regards to the 737 fleet.

Jesus you’re missing the point. Never said “will be the same size,” so check your quotes.

I understand the ski patrol issue the other dude raised, but I HATE trench coats, and think the leather jacket makes us look like dorks. When I'm wearing the coat I don't WANT to look like a pilot. I want something smaller, less bulky, and something I can wear on an overnight and not look like a pilot on a layover. Ski patrol works for me...

Better than the constant "Time to bail, time to get out" talk. Nothing wrong disucssing the potential vs the muck.
