To the jetBlue pilot too lazy to send in an interest card

No. I am a union supporter. But we generate profits like a tiny mouse when compared to DL or the other airlines in our peerset. Even our "record" profits are embarrassing.

The trouble is many times the delusionals take over and keep demanding more pay and more days off until you have all your days off and no pay.

Yes yip, we are aware of your opinions on the subject. Problem is, without a union, the delusionals are running our company without any thought given to the well being of our pilot group. The pay and benefits we have are a result of management doing just enough, and nothing more. That is not how we do OUR jobs.

Yip, remember this saying:

"A company usually ends up with just as much union as it needs."

This "Delta" you speak of, is that the same Delta that just reported more profit over a 3 month period than my company has reported in its 13 year history?

The discussion was specifically about trip productivity. I am missing nothing. I don't recommend JB over legacy airlines. I think people should go to better paying airlines with better benefits and WAY more career progression from retirements and widebody aircraft. Even if we had the same pay rates and benefits as DL, your career at JB would be FAR less valuable....

By the way, DL retirement is not double ours, unless you lump in profit sharing. Our retirement is 13%, but we have NO actual profit sharing plan, so as a combined benefit, yeah probably double. But again, I don't recommend people stay here.

Now to suggest that JB has full ability to pay DL full pay and benefits is delusional. They can't without dramatically changing our growth rate. Period. Hence, people should leave for the big legacy airlines or Alaska who is much more profitable, but much slower growing. At least until DL keeps throwing more competing SEA flights at them.

You were defending your unproductive flying by likening it to your Legacy friends schedule. 'Your schedule is as unproductive as theirs, so it must be ok' - unfortunate logic

You have two choices; get paid like them, or get a productive schedule. Guess which is possible in the immediate future ?

Those are NOT my only two choices. Thanks for your opinion.

No you are not!
