Of course I, like so many other pilots at jetblew, reserve the right to change our votes to "NO" if we end up with a rockin A-Scale mandated by an arbitrator. :laugh:

I'll help get a CBA to our group. I'll help by giving up time, money, and whatever else it will take to help my fellow pilots. See line I'm a guy that is a "bluebelle", in a sense that I'll walk out to a gate every departure to look for jump seaters... I'm a pro pilot guy line... I look out for blue guys, oal guys, whatever. Guess I'm just a nice pro union bluebelle? You though are a guy that has said the signature below... What say you line?

And unlike you line im not in the twilight of my career, I intend to make this place better. I don't hate Dave, I don't hate JetBlue, but I do intend to improve things.

7st,

You are the man, we need more like you. I'll be on the OC again, and am excited to engage my fellow pilots with professionalism and respect. I feel the tide is shifting and proper representation is close.

See you out there, bro.

I think it's coming too. I can't wait. Best of luck to the OC! Get it on property before they take anything else away!

Ooooh..

..looking forward to endless, unproductive hand-wringing.:laugh:

That's right. No speculating allowed on this board.

Speculation? uh huh....

If they really wanted widebodies in 2015 then the orders better be placed today, especially with the backlog of 787/A350s

More likely they dont really intend to have widebodies in the next few years, but want to keep the dream alive for those hanging on tight.

We'll have wide bodies in afew years... they just won't say jetBlue on the side, and we (jetBlue pilots) won't be flying them.

Looks nice. At least we will have a union.

 

[BeachBummer]

I can't assume that "we" will have anything.

Oldest trick in the book!

With respect, Beach is correct. IF they don't add more furloughs to the current list during the bankruptcy plan and your number is higher than about 1000, you will be looking for work....

Maybe, maybe not. There aren't going to be any furloughs added. They are really short staffed now.

I know, it's the end of the world, blah blah blah. In the meantime, we need a union. If we can just get on the damn seniority list, retirements alone will make the furlough only last a year or two at most. I'll take that for a spot on the seniority list of one of the oldest pilot groups in the industry.

Um, OK. You would know.
