[QUOTE=Flyby1206;1239700]Im towards the bottom of the JB list, so most of us at my level would be happy with a DOH staple at AA..... A lot of CAs are worried about losing their seats, but with the average age being so young they would have plenty of years to re-coup that. Overall, I would say more are in favor of it than against it.

This comment should be considered at least asinine and possibly even reckless. If you are so anxious for a staple somewhere, staple yourself by applying to that company and leaving. Please don't speak on behalf of the JetBlue pilot group.

Look at the number of pilots on furlough at AA, as well as the Eagle pilots who have a seniority number. That puts the number one JB pilot below more than 1500 pilots that are not even on property at AA. Additionally, while AA's retirement numbers look good, the major numbers don't start for several years. Sounds like years of frustrating stagnation to the people at the bottom of their list.


If you were selling your house, would you immediately go to your bottom line or try to negotiate the best deal possible? Good grief, with this type of mindset, it’s no wonder the JetBlue pilot group is shooting for (but not even achieving) industry average wages, medical, etc. But, I guess I am in the 5%, the so-called chronically disgruntled.....
