From JB news:


JetBlue Achieves IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Registration

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) is an internationally accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. (IOSA) is the benchmark for global safety management in airlines. All IATA members have to become IOSA registered in order to become and maintain IATA membership. JetBlue will apply for IATA membership to enhance our code share opportunities.

Benefits of IOSA Registration
IOSA has been designed to help airlines share audit resources and reduce the overall number of audits performed. Airlines enjoy significant cost savings through these reductions as well as a wide range of additional benefits, including:

• Increased code share opportunities
• Controlled system to share audit results
• IATA quality assurance

Somehow this one has slipped through the Bluepilots crack. This keeps on gettin' better and better ...

Seat at the table? Yeah -- the kiddies table in the kitchen.

More like an unstable ironing board to eat off of....

I am sure most don't get it....... as Leslie Neilson said in Naked Gun.... Nothing to see here... move along... nothing to see.....

Rez,

I think most are starting to get it, the writing on the wall is in increasingly larger fonts.

I'd rather be represented than hope.... but that's me.....

Consider going to any legal proceeding and actively choosing not to have a lawyer, all while the "other" side has a lawyer.

I would rather have representation,also. If,that actually existed. We have OUTSOURCE ME ALPA in this corner wearing the red trunks at 55 lbs and we have Airline Management in this corner wearing the blue trunks weighing in at
275 lbs.

Consider going into any legal proceeding and having your representative sell you down the river. All while the "other" side smiles.

Welcome to America. Capitalism (aka De-regulation) to airline pilots; how do you like me now?

You are a smart guy, sure you can figure it out

What does this mean? That JB won't be bought out, or scoped out?

Just because you are doing good doesn't mean the sharks aren't interested.....

JB pilots... when is the representation light going to come on?

Probably never. After they saw the prideful editorial piece done on the latest F-16 pilot, by one (of many) 130K a year ALPA journalist, they have lost any remaining faith. They would be smarter to go with APA branch representation.

Besides, it's not like every other ALPO repped pilot group isn't in some code share junket as well, and most are with overseas airlines.

Even if American and JB were under ALPO's dismal disorganization this would have still happened, nothing would be different.
