Why does everyone want jetBlue to fail?

[coogebeachhotel]

I don't get it? The neagtive BS is just out of hand.

And screw off Uppercrust.

All their problems are caused by jetblue! If jetblue failed, all the other airlines would reap massive profits, wages would skyrocket, heck, even EAL and PAA would return to the skies.

When times are bad, it is always nice to have someone to blame, jetblue makes a nice scapegoat. It used to be SWA, now it is jetblue.

Eureka. And yes oil will then seep out of the ground under Denver, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, etc....and then with a touch of a magic wand turn into Jet A.

human nature

I agree. Look at me. Everyone unfairly hates me. You have to have thick skin in this business.

I recommend you guys just keep doing what you do best. Flying for whore wages. Popping off in other carriers jumpseats about how it would be best if a "dinosaur" airline like theirs went out of business. Picking up trash in the cabing, and other assorted duties that will demean and water down the profession.

Keep up the good work!

For the same reason that JBLU wants Virgin America to fail. Hey, you axed.

One less airline can make a difference.

Our wages and benefits are comparable if not better than most airlines flying the A320--- In a few years the 190 will be reasonable as well. It's human nature to want bad things to happen to good people, especially in the airline industry. This same animosity carries to denied jumpseats from legacy carriers too, which is sad, considering no pilot or flight attendant has ever been denied a jumpseat by us. People don't seem to realize however, that the makeup of pilots here at JBLU are 80% or so furlough/previoius legacy experienced guys and gals. We'll keep doing what we do, y'all keep doing what you guys do, and in the end, life will go on...

I don't want them to fail but I would like them to get a union and stop trying to petition the FAA for and exemption to the 8 hour rule.

 

[A350]

Just what is a union going to do for JB? I sure hope that if we ever do go down that road, we don't make the same mistakes that ALPA has made at other carriers.

It may make you feel better, but it won't solve a thing.

Yes, your wages and benefits are comparable now, after the legacy carriers are in or just out of chapter 11. Your rates and the rates of the legacy carriers are waaay to low!

Many airlines don't have ALPA as their union. Feel free to start your own, just get some cajones and get a collective bargaining agreement to actually raise the bar and stop riding the coattails of those that actually do the work trying to make this profession better.

Well, you are in good company. Take a look at other threads, honestly look at what is being said.

It seems that there is handful of people that would like
AA
UAL
DAL
NWA
JB
AWA/USAIR
SWA,

(heck insert any airline you wan), to FAIL.

From LCCs being the reason to legacy failure, to every single legacy flight has bad service. You name it you can find it. So Cheer up, you have now joined the ranks....

AA

P.S. Don't agree with your transcon idea, but do appreciate the rides on occasion.

it's easy!

Why do most non jetBlue employees want B6 to fail?

Do you remember in high school when the jocks would come into the classroom wearing the letter jackets and ALL the hot chicks would giggle and flirt with them? Not much attention was being sent to the corner where the chess club was sitting...

Well, insert jetBlue for the jock and chess club for the B6 bashers. Bingo! It is easier explained by being called "(something) envy."

P.S..just wait awhile and jetBlue will no longer be the jock and some new airline will fill the ranks of the jock while we all sit in the corner and stew. The cycle repeats itself every 4 years when the jocks clear out!

...stop trying to petition the FAA for and exemption to the 8 hour rule.

What's wrong with getting paid more for doing more work? Most working people get time and half for overtime, a little over time won't hurt you.

 

[SWA GUY]

Why would I want JB to fail? My best freind works there!

Why is it so important to you that a company you don't work for get a union?
If you want to work in a union environment, then apply to companies that have them.

Also if JetBlue wants and exemption to the 8 hour rule, that is their business. You don't want to fly more than 8 hours? Again the solution is simple: Don't work for Jet Blue

Personally I think it is duty and rest time that matters, not how many hours you fly in between.

Because if they get the rule changed it affects everyone not just them. It is a selfish act that does nothing to improve the profession. When you work for a profitable airline and do nothing to raise the bar and actually try and lower it in some aspects you get called on it.

Again I don't want them to fail, I want them to thrive. I just want the pilots to stand up for themselves and be leaders in improving things not just followers.

I think alot of people get tired of seeing their own airlines get trashed and put down by the media and everyone else while airlines such as Jet Blue and Southwest "can do no wrong" and get stroke job after stroke job. It gets old. It also gets to where it looks like people just repeat the same thing they heard vs. knowing what they are talking about anyway.

Kind of the herd mentality. Come on now folks, after me now, one, two, three go, stroke SWA and Jet Blue and bash everyone else. There you go very good, you get a donut now.
