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.....
I wasn't trying to speak for the JB pilot group. I am junior now, and would be junior anywhere. My apologies
