With no representation, JetBlue forces flight 504 Captain to record a retraction

[aewanabe]

Thanks no-voters.

Now on the company's internal website, a 15-minute long explanation from the CA of 504 about how the news media took his comments out-of-context.

After executive leadership got beat up by virtually every work group for 48 hours, they've hauled this guy into Forest Hills and now he's put out a podcast about how in reality he got great support and maybe he could have done things better as well.

Utterly disgusting.

It reminds me of a brainwashed POW admitting he's a war criminal for dropping bombs on defenseless civilians. It's really scary. It could happen to any one of us.

I always thought guys who compared JetBlue to a cult were exaggerating, but now...I'm not so sure. It's absolutely terrifying.




But we're better off without representation....1193 short-sighted dopes say so.

If the rumors are true and he voted against a union, let him twist in the wind.

Not rumors. He was not a supporter. Hopefully, this will open up some more eyes. But I don't want give this group of independent contractors more credit than they deserve.

No comment is the only response you ever, ever, ever give to the media/press. JB has PR people to deal with these kind of issues. Your job is to transport people from point A to point B as safely and efficiently as possible. That is what you are trained to do so do that. Nothing more nothing less.

Might want to check the link :laugh:

Yep... this guy was without a doubt, hauled into a room with a set up jetblue lawyers and video camera. Here... sign this NDA, then get on camera and tell us how much you love mother Blue. Oh... and do it like your job depends on it... because it does.

Wonder if he is still a "No" voter?

What a miserable airline we work for.

All the worst aspects of this industry wrapped in a pretty blue package.

 

[Headfake14]

surprised someone posted it...since the site said it was to be "internal" only.

That could get someone into trouble if they are able to track that down...

WTF are you talking about. He was talking to ATC, not the media.

Today...on our company/emloyee only website, there is an audio only 'testimonial' of the Capt of 504 talking about the event...

It sounded...a lil gaurded and odd. I hope he really wasn't coaxed into it. Gives me a bad feeling.

I hope it hits the air waves for all to hear!

I however would not want to be the one posting it!

 

[Fubijaakr]

PM it to me. I'll post it. EVERYWHERE.

Silly Bluejet pilots want to play airline pilot but not contribute anything to the ndustry. This is what you get when you don't have representation. This what you want, who is next?

 

[Otto77]

Bet he isn't a No voter anymore.. "none whatsoever"

 

[shadesofBS]

No. I'm sure the BoBs are soothing his ego with support from their "groveling" crew.

 

[zonejumper]

It would be nice if the pilot group got together and paid for some ads in newspapers exposing this BS. They can use the money they saved by NOT having a union.
