What is the purpose of said contract?

To give you a false sense of security.

To give you a false sense of security.

Hmmm, I was thinkingg the opposite. I dont know anything about it, but I would be worried they could just say adios to any past their contract date without worrying about labor laws. Your contract is up, see ya. Obviously that isnt the purpose of the contract then?

Never been done.

Never been done.

... to your knowledge which is not very deep.

Jetblue is a very dirty place and 3A WILL pull back the curtain on how Jetblue really operates and treats its cost units.

The 5 year term auto renews except for cause which is spelled out in Section 14 of the Agreement.

Sounds narrow but Section 14 refers to material breach of any law or regulation including FAR.

Sooo ... get busted on a day off for ... XYZ ... you agreed the company can terminate your contract.

Although the airframe and parts attached to it are not known for their reliability either.

Funny because despite the people on mr gore's internets mouthing off about the 170/190 fleet reliability we don't seem to have a problem over here.

Power it up right in the morning and it will fine - slam power on it and it will be bitching at you all day. For electric planes I guess this it the new reality.

Most of the $20 million additional maintenance cost stems from the GE engines, not specifically the E-190 airframe...

Did you smoke-up that sweet theory all by yourself Doobiehowser?

There is a difference between a Transactional Event and Fragmentation and 'can get rid of any pilot they want, any time they want, regardless of seniority' (termination of contract).

The stupidity of the Jetblue pilot is bold and boundless.

As a matter of fact I did come up with this theory myself. Much like most pilots make up there theory's themselves as they have no clue what will actually happen. I am quite aware of the difference between a transactional event and fragmentation. Just curious which part of my post makes my stupidity boundless. I am really looking forward to your explanation as I am sure I will learn a lot from it. Or do you just like to call people stupid with no explanation except to say there is a difference in definitions between two words.
