The secrets are already getting out that Lufthansa wants a significant feed into the USA, Latin, Central, and south america with open skies. LH didnt invest 300 mil in jb for nothing with our premium product and most fuel efficient fleet in the usa.
Problem is the Jetblue pilots have no say in how the LH feed will go down. A big concern: LH will do the int'l flying via LH or a new company that LH controls and JB will feed.
Next, KLM/AF will say...'look... within the Skyteam Alliance, KLM/AF will do all of the transoceanic flying... DL/NW/CAL.. you guys do all the feed.' When the DL/NW/CAL pilots protest... the reply will be.... 'well... the JB pilots do it.... we got to compete...'
Maybe the JB pilots don't care about widebody transoceanic flying....
Time to get your career representation going guys... I'd say now is too late... if you wait then you'll really be screwed...
The international flying is were the cash is... a pure domestic operation will stagnate...
