Jetblue and American?

[B6Busdriver]

Don't worry, it won't take the management tools at AA more than a couple of years before they destroy all morale and customer service at Jet Blue.

They could care less about morale and customer service. A merger is about market share which translates to $$$. It's all about the $$$. The cute little social experiment that is JEtBlue will up and gone like a fart in the wind.

And I have ZERO reason to believe JetBlue is a willing participant..

What if Dave replaced Horton?

What if Dave replaced Horton?

That's where my bets are...Horton is the hatchet man and AA pilots would welcome anyone at the helm who isnt Horton. It would be an offer Barger couldnt refuse, if the BOD gets the right price.

I saw The Dave on Fast Money and he answered every question until he was asked about Labor at AA. He changed the subject.

It was his "tell".

LOL incoming tons of widebody NY to FL!!

Horton left AA to run another company through bankruptcy then returns to AA and ultimately runs them through bankruptcy. He has a specific duty and his tenure is limited. As speculation abounds I agree DB would gladly run AA given the opportunity.

The question becomes at what expense.

I hope it happens. Union protections, widebody aircraft, huge retirements ...

Looking forward to it.

Yup. Google Tom Horton + AT&T and look at what you read. It's pretty damn ugly.

Hence one needs all the protections one can get.

++1. I hope jetBlue is bought or merged. I'm convinced that that is the only way we will see our benefits improve.

You will not like or enjoy a merger of operations so be very careful for what you wish for.

You're assuming you will be integrated (quite possibly stapled) and not furloughed or simply let go. August 16th is approaching. Let's get busy!

It will be a race to see if AA can get out of BK before we get a vote here at JB. Even if the campaign started today it would be months before an actual vote took place. The campaign cant technically start until August, so add 6+months onto that.

And another year before you actually have a CBA! Mergers will be plenty wrapped up before that!

Ultrarunner is right, it's too late. The best we can hope out of a union is legal counsel outside of JetBlue. Thanks no voters.

 

[n757st]

Even without a CBA by voting in a union we will have legal team behind our backs and mcbond which will be far more easily enforced.

Are you not still making a HUGE assumption?

He's probably right that its too late to have a CBA in place before something COULD happen. It is NOT too late to have representation before an event could happen.

 

[Smarta$$]

Agree.

Agree.

The No voters will still say that after we get pucked we would have been piucked with a union.

They are correct simply because this pilot group kills each other for a nickel but will not stand and fight for career protections.

They don't believe there are career protections or are so jacked up on PP that they can't see past the FLICA alert to be concerned about their future.
