I have to agree, JB is better without a union.

Jetblue is better without a union. Jetblue pilots are worse off without a union. A union would have given Jetblue pilots the ability to negotiate for pay and benefits. The vote sealed our fate. We have no ability to protect ourselves in the event of a merger and we certainly have no chance of ever fixing the gaping holes in our retirement and health benefits.
 
JB pilots, go with an in-house union. ALPA will just allow massive outsoucing of your jobs to the lowest bidder. At Delta we have Compass, Shuttle America, ASA, Skywest, Comair, Mesaba, Pinnacle and now GoJet all flying under the Delta brand. Pathetic!!!!

Why not let ALPA allow it... It can happen tomorrow with or without any Jetblue pilots consent or knowledge. Suppose it's all moot now anyhoe

hope "we" were right.

If you actually work for Delta then you would know it was YOUR MEC that allowed unlimited 50 seaters back in the early to mid 90's. Look no further your own group.

What is stopping JetBlue from outsourcing their own pilot's jobs? Absolutely nothing. Without representation and a CBA, one can only rely on hope. Work rules change with a simple email. Time will tell as to what else will change.

Why outsource when you could bring the equipment on property and make up your own rates for it? Capacity Purchase Agreements are messy and a waste of time/money
 
Messy, but cheaper. Thats why everyone does it. Or like SWA doesn't do it at all.
