Over the course of the next 3 years Jetblue is shifting 80% of the healthcare cost to the employee. No other airline does this. In fact, no other company does this. The CATCAB committee, made up of management selectees, is reducing the LTD benefit by 33% this year. No other airline is doing this.

Rake will state correctly we recently received a 3% increase to our 401K. What Rake doesn't understand is the increases in healthcare and disability will cost him more than 3%.


Now, there are 4 possible rebuttals to the above facts:

1. If you don't like it leave;
2. Its better than MESA;
3. No rebuttal at all;
4. I'm on tri-care.

Jetblue pilots have trouble with reality. Jetblue tells you we are the best and they provide you the best.

The reality, based completely in fact, is we are at the bottom of almost every measurable category. These facts are not disputable. These facts do not even incorporate merger protection in our PEA's.

What say you Rake? Does Jetblue truly do good enough? Is the bottom good enough for a company recording record profits?
