Amazing to read the "Troll" or "Tool" comments on here for a guy that is joyous over profitablity. The "actual "tools" or "extremists" on here that have no life and continually attempt to strong arm or intimidate others for their non union belifs are amazing. Fortunately you are in the minority and until I see the vote passed I will enjoy the companys success which btw is still thriving with NO union. The few here are the same dreamers in every other airline that I personally was affiliated with, never happy no matter what the company does or say. Speaking of other airlines, so much for my job protection or rights there, not once not twice but three times eliminated from union airlines.
Amazing when I read from the trolls on here of sub par pay and benefits. REALLY!!!?? You're complaining is nauseating and childish, our pay is pretty good even compared and higher than some "legacy" carriers. Add to that premium and holiday pay. We contiually invest in improving our domiciles and terminals. We are getting new airplanes, our 401k was improved. Ok, our insurance sucks according to some. Last time I checked the entire countrys insurance program is in dissarray. Nonetheless do u feel a union will make it any better, thats laughable as last time I checked I work for JETBlue and NOT ALPA or any other union. Fact of the matter is the "dreamers" on here have no clue to the history of the ALPA and their failures, and when pointed out they close their eyes and ramble on with excuses like a dirty politician hiding something. History has proven to me that sooner or later, the "CBA" is garbage and means NOTHING in the final end, so there is no winner. I would rather work in a friendly enviroment that even in a "bad" economy is making profits, getting airplanes adding new destinations for pennies less than to work with a disgruntled "professional" that continoiusly says"its not in my contract". It is what it is here, Im happy to be here not because its jetblue but rather because finally i can come to work where there are positive signs everywhere, whether you wish to believe it or not is your choice. Want a union, I have yet to hear a viable reason, in the meantime there are many out there that are affialiated with disgruntlted employees and failing business plans. The few tools or "extremists" are sure to call the names now and possibly dissect this post, have at it I could care less. In the end it doesnt matter as you are only a few that have no impact on my life. I look at the reality of what is happening and has happened, I look at the glass half full, and enjoy my job and guys and gals I fly with. The comment of "when is it ok to get ours" is a joke and only proves my point, what EXACTLY is yours to get???? You're a pilot that flies good equipment for a profitable airline. Get over it! Want to get more, start your own airline or business. Just another example of the union attitude i have witnessed over the last 17 years of flying. Job protection and better work rules, tell that to the TWA, Eastern, United, USAir pilots, and now on the regional side Comair, the lists goes on...Im done. Hate all you want. In conclusion, dont hate attack those that actually enjoy their job and their company. SOmething is working here, it aint broke, maybe a little tuneup is needed but it sure as hell aint broke.
