JetBlue Airways faces first union election

[MD80DRVR]

The vote started on the 6th I believe. The window is like 3-4 weeks. I haven't received my voting instructions yet. Count me as a gauranteed "yes" vote.:beer:

The vote is in progress right now.

The NMB mailed the ballot instruction on January 6th and pilots are starting to report their delivery from the USPS. The election closes on February 3rd.

I will not not vote!

I also know of a few pilots at AirTran who don't want ALPA on the property . . . not surprisingly, most of them are not in "good standing" with ALPA.

Don't worry. ALPA will take the scabs back. They took a lot of them back at CAL. It's all about the $$...

No rather it is about the law... if those scabs are in good standing at the NPA then the merging union has to take in the old scabs.... however, the NEW union can mandate that the scabs pay back out standing dues. If the scabs do not, then they can be kicked out of the new union...

So really it isn't about ALPA, it is about the Air Tran pilots NOW and then who have allowed these scab pilots to be in good standing at the NPA....

 

[BeachBummer]

I will not not vote!

so your voting....

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

The follow up question.....

If there are scabs at jB will the pilots of jB allow them to become JBPA members in good standing?

 

[AKAAB]

so your voting....

Yes, I will be voting with pride.

I would think so. As I recall, we're down to one Eastern line crosser. I haven't heard of any others in our ranks.

 

[Blue Dude]

There are a few more than just the one Eastern crosser, but I figure: new union, clean slate. I won't bring up the subject if they won't. Of course, Capt. Bananas spoke with pride on his role at Eastern, but he's the only one I know of who was just obnoxious about it.

BTW, voted yesterday. Felt good.

Seems reasonable

No, I have to agree with Homer.
ALPA has no spine and will take anyone back just to get the dues.

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

How so?

 

[WayBack]

How so?

ALPA- Helping destroy pilots careers.

 

[XBOEINGDRVR]

Let`s hope we dont get a union...

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

ALPA- Helping destroy pilots careers.

Sounds like a slogan....
