If it doesn't happen on this drive, I have lost all hope for this pilot group.....just remember guys would you drive the most expensive car on the market without insurance?....vote with the facts and not with emotion!

March 25-April 22 is the vote. JB pilots will have there career protections by the end of April. So very happy

I thought you were against having a union drive? Blue juice not strong enough? By the way JBU looks pretty nice!

That is a very poor analogy IMO. Insurance assumes coverage and protection from harm and neither were provided to many members of ALPA in the past. Did they learn their lesson, time will tell.

Well, in all fairness. In +\-4 years or so years they may have a contract that will do this. For now it will be status quoe. I just hope they don't fall for the old "well it's our first contract, that's the best we r gonna get" routine.

Think he was referring to things like ALPA Aeromedical, ALPA Legal resources, ALPA Accident/incident resources as well as industry-accepted & defined merger/acquisition representation. Even while we're hammering out a CBA, B6 pilots will be way better off the day the vote passes. Your point about the first contract is valid.
