2) It's not that it's "unfair" (your words) that it pays less than a 737. It's a joke that your 100 seat E190 pays closer to RJ REGIONAL AIRLINE PILOT rates than MAINLINE NARROWBODY MAINLINE rates. That jet should be paid somewhere around $110-120/hr + overtime over 70, not whatever ridiculous rate you guys are flying it for. And in reality, it should pay around 200/hr + pension + good work rules.

You make such a good point "they" (B6) are doing the flying you guys are not, short but very simple to understand even for you.

Just how did they ask for money? I was never solicited.

Don't tell me he used "bluewhiners.com". Is it still being run by the dude that left JB to go back to United? Gee, that makes sense btw.

chef,when you register and are sent the email confirming your registration you need to activate your account by clicking on the emailed link.
then you can go on the site and donate there. If you can't find the link send a pm to Mike and he will send you the link. No solicitation on Bluewhiners.com, just mindless chat there

ICB-

Don't forget committee work... communications, membership, etc.... lots to do...

Of course. If JBPA gets ratified and for whatever reason wants to mine some talent of mine I have yet to realize I have :erm: I'll be more than glad to help out. Actually I know there will likely be many things pilots can do to help, including being trained to serve on various committees and such. But first things first, gotta get out that vote.

I don't remember howI heard about the request for funds. It may have been the "bluewhiners" :laugh: site, or one of the conference calls, or maybe I saw it on the jetbluebluepilots.org site. Anyway at the time Mike was using a Florida address and was working on a NY account which I think is up and running now but I'm not 100% sure on that. If you are interested check out the union site. I'm sure any donation of any size would be of help and greatly appreciated.

And yes I think BP is still run by the guy who is now back at UAL. The JBPA site is more civil and factual, but it doesn't have the years of inertia the BP site has yet. Its probably safe to say that while not everyone who uses BP uses the JBPA site, everyone who uses the JBPA site uses BP as well. You have to use your name so I guess that turns some folks off, but overall its much more civil.

Anyway if you haven't heard much about the JBPA as an official movement, that's because its just now in the initial stages of getting guys registered and getting the general word out. Issues like the constitution and bylaws, etc should be coming up in January with a card drive I would *guess* sometime towards the end of the first quarter or so, with a much larger information campaign before that happens of course.

As usual REZ it is all our fault.

No... and again... I'll hit the highlights.

It is a shared responsibility... and quite hypocritical to demand accountability without doing so yourself.

• Manage your expectations...

• Get educated.

• Get involved.

Only then can you call out the leadership and effect positive change...

Good luck... we all counting on all of us....





oops almost forgot...

You are right REZ, it is all our fault. The status quo has been working beautifully.

Relax REZ, we all know it is all our fault. Your mantra has finally sunk in.

P.S. Leadership starts at the top. Especially expensive leadership.

55 seconds? Similar to your endurance in other areas I would also imagine.

As of yet no to the JBPA. My first reaction is to not donate money to people that do not post their names behind an effort.

My second reaction is that soon you will have another outlet to tell people how much it is their fault for the failure of their leadership to actually lead.

Wait....I am thinking of ALPA dues pillaging, National officer pocket lining, ineffectual leadership and bloated bureaucracy. Might not be a bad idea to get them on the property over here even.

The guys starting the JBPA are very vocal and do NOT hide behind screen names. At the JB pilot board, they have always posted their full name position in the company. If you PM there here, they will tell you their names. I can assure you that the money going to the JBPA, IS going to the JBPA. The guys spearheading the group are good guys who truly have the best interest of the pilot group in mind. They are not trying to steal your money if that is what you are worried about.
