JetBlue Question, M&A

[Smarta$$]

I never said AA would be the aquiring carrier. More of a merger, much like america west/us airways. It probably wouldnt be hostile.

AA while not in a position to make a play on B6 right now they might be after a trip through bankrputcy. Thats why I referenced that.

I dont see AA making a play on B6 anytime soon. Although in this industry you never know.

I wouldnt mind seeing our management make a run at virgin america.

I agree also...

WN/B6 Acquisition in the next two years. GK wants a much larger share of the NY pie. That's why he's rushing all the Employee groups to reach SLI agreements quickly with our counterparts at FL.

Sweet! Ive been doing mostly red eye island turns the past few months, good prep for when Brown takes over!

It'll be a raise in every area. Not a big fan of brown shoes for work though.

No thanks. Not interested in the SW stapler.

Loooool! But ive seen a lot of brown shoes with the uniform, those guys must know UPS is coming for us

News flash... You will have no choice or voice in the matter! SWAPA will run a train on the PVC and you will then have a luvley commute to OAK.

We voted this right away with ALPA and then voted it right in with no joinder in the 5 documents. This is the Jetblue reality.

We'll spend years fighting for the ability to negotiate collectively, as with 3A, meanwhile we'll be stapled, at best, and then spend the next few years after that trying to win back our seniority. Assuming of course the courts will allow us to act collectively even though we signed an individual PEA. Thanks blue bayou.

And before anyone says a legal firm will take our case pro-bono why would they. Their is no money involved unlike 3A.

If you think that SWAPA or the APA are going to bend over and let any of our guys in front of them your smokin a big blue doober. I hope to the end that we don't have to endure any M&A situation. But if we do we are going to be on the losing end of a big stick. JR guys will feel the least, it's the "senior" guy who is gonna get a rude wake up when he's sitting in the right seat somewhere for the next 5-10yrs.

A legal expert who doesn't know what PRO BONO means!!!!

The term you are looking for is "contigency", and you are wrong, there is always money involved!!

Beach....You ever go on Blue Pilots?

In the event an M&A ever comes to fruition and we all have our arses handed to us by APA, SWAPA, ALPA...hell...UAW for that matter. The super senior guys will be more concerned about having to do the walk around pre-flight than having a fair voice at the negotiating table.

What is the definition of insanity?

That whole thread blew my mind.. We got bigger fish to fry than whining about walkarounds.

That thread sounds interesting... insane, but interesting.

I got booted from BP mmmmmaybe two years back... technical error, but when I tried to get back on admin never responded... 3 times... So whatever, I use B6 now.

Believe me i hope we get to do walkarounds after a M&A event. I guess my point was that these senior guys who keep preaching on behalf of the company stand to go from top of the hill to jr line holder in a jr base in the right seat. If any seat. Bottom line we're #@%*ed under the pvc and hope of Dave saving us.
