After years of everyone complaining that JB needs a union, why isn't ALPA campainging to get the vote??!! There are 2,010 pilots at JB.
 
WE ARE THE BORG…RESISTANCE IS FUTILE…YOUR INDIVIDUAL UNIQUNESS WILL BE ASSIMULATED INTO OUR COLECTIVE….WE ARE THE BORG…
 
Why would they want ALPA, they are Fu*)ing worthless. They have ruined many lives by going against their own majority. Prater, where's the shortage?
 
There was an ALPA drive going on while I was still there. From what I heard there wasn't enough support.
Looks like they shifted gears.
Meanwhile, Ford&Harrison advises Jetblue how low to set the bar.
Better get it done fellas.
 
I think ALPA would like to represent JetBlue. However, the political reality is most JetBlue folks would not vote in ALPA right now. I think ALPA is smart enough to realize that an organized JetBlue is better for all pilots, regardless of who represents them.

FWIW, organizing does not mean that your management is terrible. SWAPA and SWA have coexisted for years in a productive manner, but I am pretty sure just about every SWA pilot is glad to have the union on property.

ALPA is so desperate right now, they're soon to start representing ramp agents.
JB pilots dont want ALPA because they know that ALPA is a political hack that does nothing for the pilot group, only for the good of the Union....I mean Association.

A group of JetBlue pilots came and talked with ALPA a couple of years ago about starting an ALPA drive, but they determined that there wasn't enough support. They ended up going with the independent union idea instead. Any union is better than no union at all.
 
PCL_128 "If you don't like living with ALPA, try living without ALPA."

You’re joking right?
