I'm not for a bunch of newbies who'll slip up our first contract that'll last 3-5 years
Me thinking it's going to fail big time.

They've run a poll on bluepilots.com and gotten about 200 pro votes each time. Not promising.
Let me run you through a possible scenario:
Let's say you bend metal in poor weather conditions.
Who will be at your side...the PVC?
During this incident you get hurt and go on OJI.
Now you get a fraction of what you make until 3 months pass by...but you can supplement it with your own PTO (accrued for sick time,vacation,and personal time).
Now you've been out for 6 months and you start paying COBRA.
Now you are on long term disability which is TAXED.
Meanwhile the FEDS are investigating you, will the company back you?
At 18 months you are still out on Medical and you lose your health insurance entirely.
We have some of the worst pay and benefits in the industry. I'm voting yes!
I'm not on bp.com.
@1000 sent in cards, so we'll see.
Another reason for JBPA. We are the 6th major airline and the only one without a Union. The 5 airlines above us have better pay, benefits, work rules, and retirement. Their company did not just give those things to them, did they?
JB's 12 year 320 rate is $148
United's is $136
USAIR/west is $138
USAIR east is $125
Plus JB pays 150% above 70 hours, so it's $222/hr above that.
How many active line pilots are on that 12 year pay scale exactly? :erm:
Amazing how the blue aid never wears off some guys...
Why do you think they got 1,000 cards? They refuse to say.
I know.
They didn't file with 35%.
