One story that seems to be missing in action since the Valentine's Day Debacle has been the topic of the day is the fact that the VP of Flight Ops and the President of JetBlue conducted a pilot meeting in FLL the afternoon of Valentine's Day.
They made a committment to meet with the pilots and were under the impression that the situation was under control in JFK when they arrived around 12 pm in FLL from MCO. They had their Blackberrys and cell phones muted so they could devote full attention to the topics at hand.
Items covered in the 3 1/2 hours included :
Unionization
by ALPA or in house.
Southwest's mgt advice about an internal union and the collobarative relationship they have.
Pay
Retirement
Attrition
Trip Productivity
Compensation Analysis Comparison
Sick Time/Vacation Time (PTO/S)
CSSP
Stock Options
Morale
Communication
The Values committee to be the mechanism of communication for work groups and a more direct, structured organization for them.
Short answer.
A320 F/Os and EMB CAs to receive retro pay raise to Jan 1.
Retirement compensation increase to competitive rates.
Other increases coming.
TIMELINE
ASAP .. 6 weeks or so.
The door is closing on them and they know it is.
