JetBlue ALPA Card Campaign started today

[Cheeta]

We received the email from ALPA and the JBOC today, with authorization cards attached. Copy of the email and cards are on there way by mail too.

Signed my card in the crew lounge today. The looks on the ACP and the inflight supervisor were priceless.

any reason you don't just make your own JBPU?

The in-house ship has sailed. Any in-house union with this company would be a paper tiger.

We tried with the JBPA and lacking structure. At that time there was still an air of one more chance lingering around as well. Right now we need a TV dinner that's ready to go in 5 min.

Take a look at AirTran and it will answer any questions of why we don't do an in-house union. APLA carries a much bigger stick!:uzi:

Because anything with a hint of ALPA and an excuse to be moved (in this case we're an LCC while SWA threads remain intact) get's moved because the mods are sympathetic to Jetblue remaining non-union.

There are moderators at Flightinfo who are pilots for Jetblue.

Really? Who? I was a mod here for a long time and know almost all the mods on here....Unless I am forgetting someone, there are no JB pilots that are mods here.

 

[AKAAB]

Regardless, Longhorn, there is no reason the JetBlue threads should be moved to LCC/National and the SWA threads left under Majors. Frankly, it should be the other way around.

 

[Longhorn]

I agree....but I have zero to do with this website or the people who moderate it the way they do. I dont agree with it being moved but its what they wanted....

 

[Longhorn]

Oh yea, and I forgot to mention to the MOD who moved the JB threads to the LCC form.....apparently its not cool for anything JB to be on the majors forum but you leave a thread about a PFT gulfstream thread up on the Majors board? Whatever guys.....

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

Mod must be a Bob or management....

Will a union really make jetblue "better"? I'm just asking for my own edification.

Depends on what you mean by "better"

It ain't getting any better....

no scope
crappy health insurance
no health insurance after COBRA if on LTD
taxable LTD
pricey STD
questionable merger protection
retirement at 30% les than average
no representation

and the list goes on...............
