Finally, Hard to say. Jet Blue is on the 'new' side and there are a ton of pilots out of work. I thought their pilots were on the same scale as AAI,, about 110 - 120 per hour. Note,, Continental and most majors fly about 900 hours per year. The majors are paying 225 - 250 per hr. Makes me laugh at Delta thinking they can compete on the low end. Many have tried (inc Delta) and none have succeeded. Delta is also planning on running 757s,, the airlines making money are small and flying new (less repair & DT costs) and smaller (717s etc) in order to FILL the plane and have smaller operating costs. US Air & United should just be allowed to fold! That would be great for the entire industry, & esp the surviving majors.
