What spurred my post was that "FUPM" attitude. I hate it. It is everywhere around my current company, and it is childish and ignorant.
Again, the main reason I want to go to JetBlue is that you guys are non-union. If you vote in a union before I have an opportunity to try to get there, I'll look elsewhere. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't expect pay improvements, etc., I just do not like unions. Never have, and never will. This opinion on unions started from my pre-airline days.
The one-size fits all arguement is narrow minded. Is there a reason you think every union is evil?
I submit that unions are beneficial to companies, allowing them to extrapolate their unit labor costs several years forward without leaving them suceptible to short term market pressures driving up costs as we have seen at JB. There are rumors that our past CFO was in favor of unions for this reason and he was shown the door.
