I think they are now officially a non-profit organization.Just curious......
How is this tax deductible?
Not going against the grain here....I'm just curious.
And when we get taken over, I'd prefer to get a payraise than a paycut during contract integration.
I was fired from JB in April and was wondering that if and when you guys and gals organize will you will look into past terminations and try to get there jobs back. I put my faith in the JB Values comitee and to say the least, very disapointed. Thank you for your help.

Just wondering....
Why the donations?
I know a few people over there and they (just like people on here) often speak highly about the pay they make as first and 2nd year guys (compared to almost everyone else) with time and a half over 70 hours, picking up extra flying, and profit sharing...
That being said, shouldn't they just pony up the money to start their own union if they are not going to go ALPA?
Hell, if every pilot picked up one day of flying on a day off and gave that pay to the union, you'd be pretty well funded pretty quickly!
I don't see you getting your job back at JB, but , on the bright side, you haven't lost much
also, a termination has to violate the cba in any way for the union to get involved.
I can think of two more.were you the guy in training that got fired because he got into an argument with a gojet pilot during an open house? that is the only one I can think off.
Not really. There are many terminations around the industry and there is no way you can cover every circumstance in a CBA, nor would you want to try. Yet the system board of adjustment does have a fairly labor friendly track record of getting pilot's jobs back with full seniority and back pay even in grey area cases. Not all, of course, as some terminations are so cut and dry the company, union and system board all agree they were warranted.
But to say a termination has to violate a specific part of a CBA is incorrect. There is far more to it than that, and the system board of adjustment gets to hear all cases, regardless of what's in the CBA, and then they make their decision.
As for the pilot who said he was terminated, most unions have a probationary period that I assume you would have been in given your longevity. Probationary pilots are typically not entitled to the system board process. You can still file suit for wrongful termination, as always. The act is not always easy to proove, but the dammages usually are.
So if we do vote in a union, I don't see much of an ability to lobby the system board for the reinstatement of what would have been a probationary new hire, retroactively to when the pilot group was non union anyway. That being said, it couldn't hurt to present your case and see what they say.
On the subject, I hope we can avoid a probationary period. I always thought it was rediculous that after all the background checks and hoops we have to jump through that we, as professional pilots, would have to serve any time, much less an entire year. on probation as if we had done something wrong. I don't consider that "paying your dues" I consider it stupid, demeaning and something we need to work to get rid of.
What a wonderful sentiment. And exactly what is keeping you at JetBlue? Motivation to make things better? Or simply a desire to foist your ********************ty attitude upon the rest of us?
Not everyone is quite on board with the unionization push. Your negative sentiments don't do a lot to persuade us to join your ranks...
don't have a ********************ty attitude, just simply pointing put that at this time JB is a stepping stone airline, and the only things that keeps most 190 pilots and 320 FO's here is the fact they haven/'t been call by the other airlines they have applications at. the fact that we lost 10% of our workforce last year and the fact that we would have lost more if there was more hiring, less talk of consolidation and our guys would have been called should pint this out clearly.
I don't see you getting your job back at JB, but , on the bright side, you haven't lost much.
