I'm all for it. Then furlough 300 as soon as we can so I can get a better bid divisor... The first DB letter was comical maybe, but he also wrote a second one the very same day that included this language:
A union’s promises of job security, protection and growth are very seductive. I recognize the desire to secure your future, and to support someone when they make these promises. But no one can guarantee anything. I can only guarantee that we will continue to make the sometimes tough and always necessary decisions to protect JetBlue and position our company for success. DB
I would say once a union is on the property, our JBPA will negotiate great benefit and pay raises but in return (a negotiation) will give up our "no furlough clause". Goodbye 300 pilots (this is how much we're overstaffed) and oh by the way, how many captains will be displaced? Think of those numbers boys and girls when you vote. This vote will do nothing but split up the pilot core, many of whom do not support this move at this time in our economy...
Our agreement does not include a "no furlough clause". The agreement has a 5 year duration.
If the company wants to layoff/furlough they can and it is up to each pilot to attempt to collect the balance due under the terms of the contract by using the dispute resolution procedure contained within the agreement. This process is first the open door policy (I mean no return telephone call policy, then mediation and then arbitration.
A JFK based will have to pay his own way to JFK from his/her home town (hotel, food and travel) for the 60 day process to take place.
I would imagine most E190FO's will take 3 months pay and scram.
