Below are additional comments by several of the signers of this document:

I’d like to add a few comments regarding some of the arguments I heard dismissing
ALPA’s treatment of the TWA pilots. I have not only heard what follows form
ALPAsupporters at JetBlue, but also from the ALPA reps in the food courts around our
system.

The first is that your representation is only as good as your MEC. ALPA National
put a huge amount of pressure on our TWA MEC to voluntarily give up our scope

clause in bankruptcy court. I spoke to my own ALPA representative for two hours on
this subject prior to the MEC vote. He repeated the mantra “ALPA national says…
ALPA national says… ALPA national says…” And away it went. After September 11
the TWA pilots were told by APA the offer on the table was a good as it gets, and that
we should accept it. ALPA National agreed. Our MEC voted this agreement down.
Shortly thereafter American closed the JFK and LAX domiciles, drastically changing to
composition of our MEC. Duane Woerth approached our MEC chairman and instructed
him to vote on the “cram down” again, stating this time he thought it could be pushed
through. Why in the world would he want to force the TWA pilots to revote on a matter
already decided?!?

The second item is the suggestion that TWA pilots were lucky to get what they got.
TWA entered bankruptcy as a condition of purchase by AA. This was done the day after
AA announced the purchase of TWA and was designed to void a ticket deal with Carl
Icahn. If the ticket deal could not be nullified AA would away from the deal. While not
a financially healthy airline, the idea that TWA was already in bankruptcy, or already
out of business when AA bought it is incorrect. To suggest that ALPA’s support of a
pilot group is dependent on the financial health of the airline defeats one of the primary
functions of ALPA: to protect the pilot group and their interests. Isn’t this just when a
pilot group needs representation the most, when they are vulnerable?

In response to these two items I have been told “this is a new ALPA” and that ALPA
National has changed. If they are capable of such changes what is to prevent them from
changing back?

I think we all agree that changes are needed here at JetBlue. The question is how
to best effect those changes. ALPA’s interests are frequently not those of the JetBlue
pilots. Inviting their participation into our internal matters will at best dilute our own
objectives with theirs. I’d like better retirement and medical benefits as much as the
next pilot, but I’m not willing to destroy the job I already have by letting ALPA on the
property to get them.

ALPA supporters question our company’s promises and commitment to our careers as
pilots. These supporters are unwilling to “take a chance” with JetBlue’s leadership.
ALPA gave away twelve years of my seniority as well as my captain’s seat. I question
their promises and commitment to my career. I am unwilling to take another chance with
ALPA. They ruined my TWA career. I’d prefer not to give them a shot at this one.
