We don't have a CBA, so we get what we get and don't have a fit. I agree that this is an excellent talking point in discussing a CBA. I've said it many times on this board, when it comes time to write a CBA we need to be realistic. Notice Alvrb isn't disputing that AA gave back billions in wages for the company's survival. The reality is that JetBlue is a very transparent company. There is a relationship between labor and management that is different from most companies. There needs to be a preservation of this relationship when a CBA is written. If Alvrb is on the negotiating team he will arrive with face paint, arrows and large club. ME WANT $$$$$!!! NOW!!! GIMME! This is where we can not be, with or without ALPA. I fear that ALPA loves the "look at how you screwed us, so now we'll screw you" game.
