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 "if you vote in a union, I'll go elsewhere" mentality is just as short sighted as "unions make better airlines." The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Airlines function well when management and the employees work well together. When management makes empty promises to their employees is when the rumblings of fighting back start. I take it despite the good relations between management and the pilots Southwest is a no-go because they're union as well?
