JETBLUE Anti-union tactics

How much is APLA short term disability insurance? I hear that it can be expensive.

That's why it is additional STD insurance. If you feel it is worth it to you then buy it. If you don't, then don't buy it. What is great though is with ALPA is you have the choice and option to have more insurance.

JetBlue's STD is exorbitant. Last year the premium increased 50% with no notice. The ALPA carriers I worked for there was no STD, just disability.

Obviously it is a choice, and some are more inclined to make that choice. I have no problem with those who DO make that choice. It just seems odd to me that people would complain about the office guys, given that most line pilots would be absolutely miserable in that job. That was my point. Splert is an idiot, and cannot understand that (Which is probably why he is jealous of office guys. They are doing something he isn't capable of doing.)

I'm not sure what you're talking about with the second part. It must not be in reference to one of my posts.

First you ignore me.

Then you can't stop talking about me.

What is this a man crush? Believe me, you are not my flavor. Just move on little boy blue.

Chuck,

Company provided STD should only be for new hires who haven't accured enough sick time to bridge LTD waiting periods. The solution isn't more STD it is better accrual, emergency accrual and max banking limits.

This. With a healthy sick bank balance, an STD policy shouldn't even be necessary. Available for those with low balances yes, but that currently describes everybody.

STD is a blue jet con. Remember the the PCG report. It mocked ALPA carriers for not providing STD plan to its employees. Well these pilot groups, NWA for instance, had 1200 hour sick banks and LTD plan will a 30 day elimination period.

Why would they need a STD?

Another jetblue fact missing.

I just wanted to know what it costs, because I may need it. Just wanted to get a simple dollar amount, not a lecture. Can anyone give me the simple dollar amount??

You have to apply a formula since it's based on your earnings, so a simple dollar figure isn't available. And they adjust the premiums periodically (more often than yearly) to match your coverage with your actual earnings. The premium ends up being something like 0.75% to 1% of your gross earnings, though, so it ain't cheap.

After a quick review of your previous posts it's clear you like to argue against representation. It's been explained to you clearly but you seem to be looking for ways to undermine the vote.

And you like to argue for it. Is our right to isn't it?

It's the passive aggressive bomb throwing that I don't like. It's quite obvious where I stand when I post. You however throw out subjects that are refuted and then you don't respond. Most responses have been factual, often times providing great information. Tell us, be honest, why do you support the DR?

Please don't say foolish things. Are you asking for a revote due to possible impropriety?
