You wanna cherry-pick cafeteria style the "above average" in the industry and are aghast that company would push back for the obvious reasons. What you deserve is a letter of rec to pursue a carrier is in line with your demands. Your singular focus will shank us all. I'm not saying I don't want it! I'm saying you guys don't have a true leg to stand on until hiring is a problem industry wide. JetBlue does good enough in it's benefits and improvements, and is committed to improvements until then (with obvious and crappy setbacks, yes it happens). And for these reasons ALPA supporters will remain the minority. Deal with it. The next ALPA drive will fail. And that's if ALPA BOD allows another black eye to their organization. Quit crying on PCG, FSM & PCRB and look at the bigger picture. And don't forget to tell everyone that the company has essentially handcuffed themselves from unilateral changes - which of course will falter at times I know you will POINT THAT OUT. But how has a CBA worked everywhere else on that point? DEAL with the reality of JetBlue being what it is and just TRY to be content. God knows some guys can't be happy otherwise.
You crack me up!

My previous post can be summed up with "Know your company history". And you come back with "accept your failure... this place is GREAT".

IF (and that is a really big "if") you understood our history, you would know that the ELT endorsed each previous method. They WANTED a collaborative process. My heartburn is they preached "lets hold hands and do this together" right up to the point when they got the results. Then THEY quit the collaborative process and started making one sided decisions. It was THEIR process... and THEY QUIT!

If you had a business partner that spent the last 6 years going back on agreements, breaking their "handshake" promises, and just outright LYING to you... would you give them another chance, or would you start to employ legally binding contracts when dealing with them?

What do I want? I want this place to be the company that I got hired at. Not the penny pinching, employee hating, regional that the ELT has turned it into.
