Go for the money and bennies - you'll sell out for a few minor paragraphs here and there on scope which the company won't agree to on contract 1.0 (might I add intentionally). "We'll get it next time" you'll chant. Our first contract is all it will take. The phone will ring and JetBlue will say, you want to buy us for how much?! Gee golly, you can even staple our guys. Yeah I remember Midwest, Airtran! They went for the same thing! Lunch is on us!!

Poolies. Consider carefully. You're either at Delta/American/United with JetBlue stapled at the bottom if these guys get their way. They just won't rest unless they get convince you this place really sucks. Everyone else has had a perfect run up until now with their unions and career experiences - expectations have been met. But at JeBlue things are terrible and the JetBlue which you have heard about that might be remotely positive is all a guise. We've fooled the masses. ALPA is what we really need here to make us happy and enhance our customer experience. Customers will do back flips after a few years of union leadership. I see it everyday reading the airline section.

Ok ladies dig in.

PS - what was that about vacation/sick bank being n/a?? You gotta be kidding, right? Don't believe a word of this cr*p.
