The regionals/LCC are making the $$ I think they can spare an extra 10L to train a guy who wants to leave the insant he gets called back to NWA, COA, et al.

I am sure it will cost these airlines more in the long run, but lets say JetBlue hires a furloughee and he/she stays at JetBlue for 2 years and then gets recalled. JetBlue then has to hire another pilot which and they will be at a lower pay rate. This could (just speculating) end up breaking JetBlue even in money, and then they are looked at as the GOOD GUYS, which is great PR.

I'm not sure I understand your last bit there. When you say breaking JB, do you mean as hurting them in the long run, because they're bringing on a new-hire for less pay, then the other leaving for the recalling carrier?

Your right. JB is the current media darling. JB this, JB that. A great company indeed, but if the media found out they're 100 seat 190 pilots will be making darn near Comair pay they'd have to question they're appreciation, for lack a better work, with the airline. But that's an entirely different story all together.

I wonder when the employees live up to the name of their employer? jetBLUE?
