Dysfunction is the tune all you're guys are singing right now next door in your forum. You guys are great and get me to work all the time with excellent treatment but I can do without a merger. I'll deal with the FL commute.

Aren't you trying to leave jetblue for a "real airline". Get your story straight.

If you are hurting for money maybe you should apply to United? The company makes billions every year. with profit sharing and work rules we do really well.

Ehhhh... one not need look to far back when United went from making a billion dollars to TU almost overnight. CAL was circling the drain for the third time after a good run. In fact the only pax airline older than JetBlue that hasn't been through bk is WN (of those still standing). Get while the gettins good, just be prepared.... past precedent dictates there will be tough times again.

I have worked for both B6 and UAL. You need to go back to summer of 08 and watch the cash at Jetblue over the 08-10 timeframe . If it wasn't for Lufthansa, and the ridiculous low cost of employees (I was one of them), Jetblue would have declared bankruptcy. I recommend a little humility this business is very unpredictable.
Best of Luck

Yep, I had Howard on a flight this morning and he confirmed it, and I quote:
"We will holisticly scale visionary partnerships and authoritatively adopt progressive paradigms while we dynamically revolutionize multidisciplinary intellectual capital and brand enterprise-wide process improvements"
Those guys amaze me, summing up the merger and aircraft order in one succinct statement.

I am sure you just forgot, or like me, stopped listening after the first 4 seconds.

I can go in detail why united in Jfk makes no sense and is just bad for all pilots country wide. It will bring down the current successful business model most of us are benefiting from now and can be a game changer for the worse creating the next airline downturn. That's why united would never do it. Like Delta for one second would say ok united no problem, come on in and takes some of our pax the Paris. You have to think as an investor and not a pilot. I wish everyone the best in the coming years and hold on to these good times. (Now frontier makes business sense)
