Way to alienate 50% of your ALPA brethren by diminishing their career. Good thing ALPA will be on the look out for both you and the small life world. How can the same union fairly represent two separate and unequal pilot groups for two separate companies owned by the same corporation? Oh, one goes bankrupt, the other gets an industry leading contract. I can't wait until they represent my best interests. As far as JetBlue firing an employee for destruction of company property. Nice work!!! Lets get ALPA on property, so we can all smash our laptops, pee in the jetway and stick gum in the crew lounge locks AND NOT GET FIRED. Lol! There's more to that story. I wasn't there. Now, Mr. 211, take a quick look at USAir's A320 and E190 pay scales and compare to JBlue. Once again, case closed! It's is like an episode of Law and Order. Can we do better with the company reporting big $$? He'll yeah! And, we will. The management knows this and have nothing to gain from not spreading the wealth. My insurance compensation package at CPZ (ALPA) was worse than Jblue's current plan. That's as an employed pilot. As a furloughed pilot I would continue to argue that a COBRA is more costly than jblue's current plan, and having a job is always better than not. JBlue has never furloughed a pilot so 211 automatically loses the "vast majority" of union pilot argument. As far as economics go, here's a free lesson. JBlue is expanding markets, adding new aircraft, hiring and making $. That equals jobs in the micro scale of the company and macro environment of the travel industry.
