If it doesn't happen on this drive, I have lost all hope for this pilot group.....just remember guys would you drive the most expensive car on the market without insurance?....vote with the facts and not with emotion!

 

[ROSWELL41]

We're all watching guys! You know what to do.

March 25-April 22 is the vote. JB pilots will have there career protections by the end of April. So very happy

I wish the vote was sooner....

I thought you were against having a union drive? Blue juice not strong enough? By the way JBU looks pretty nice!

That is a very poor analogy IMO. Insurance assumes coverage and protection from harm and neither were provided to many members of ALPA in the past. Did they learn their lesson, time will tell.

Well, in all fairness. In +\-4 years or so years they may have a contract that will do this. For now it will be status quoe. I just hope they don't fall for the old "well it's our first contract, that's the best we r gonna get" routine.

Think he was referring to things like ALPA Aeromedical, ALPA Legal resources, ALPA Accident/incident resources as well as industry-accepted & defined merger/acquisition representation. Even while we're hammering out a CBA, B6 pilots will be way better off the day the vote passes. Your point about the first contract is valid.

Not sure why anyone would not want a union? It will definitely provide a vehicle to increase compensation. JetBlue is here to stay, there is nothing gained by working for reduced compensation. Staying non union will not result in any greater growth or enhanced career security. It will though, leave you short changed if you are ever involved in a merger with a unionized airline.

Nobody here answers to you or cares what you think. Go back to the regionals board.

No one care what you think, just go away.
What a troll.

 

[johnsonrod]

Everyone I talk to in the industry agrees with me. JB could be A LOT better and a more attractive option for pilots.

FYI: I don't care what you jackholes think either... So there!

Exactly what he was referring to. Also M&A protection etc..etc..

 

[Fins Up]

I can't wait for the voting to start and, of course, the passing results on April 22nd. It feels like Christmas in April and I aaaaaalllll giddy.

How did ALPA do for TWA? Is that why TWA pilots sued ALPA?

I just got a 21%increase I fly min credit. All without ALPo and they did not take 1.9 and my pre tax dollars. They basically get to touch my 401k before I do?! No bueno!

Yea your right you did it all without the help of a union. Like all those other non union airlines that set the compensation level in our peer set. Keep sticking your head in the sand though.

Still behind on pay.
Still behind on retirement.
Still behind on profit sharing.
Even farther behind on healthcare.
No scope protections.
