Trust me, the union has self serving issues just like any other entity.
Said like someone who truly has no respect or understanding of the industry....
So instead of calling you a knob, sc@b, idiot, or mangement material let me give you some more work productivity enhancements you might look at:
--Loss of vacation days
--Stand-Up Overnights
--Loss of 1 in 7 legalities
--Decrease in layover requirements
--Increase 100 hour in a month legality
Where does it end? At what point will JetBlue pilots draw the line? The 8 in 24 has been an industry standard since the days of Pan Am (who put the rule in place).
