I know darn well you're not!


Could you explain to me what benefit you are enjoying as a result of not being represented by ALPA?


I'm not seeing a single benefit. Maybe you could point out something I'm missing?

Though it may be in my individual and immediate best interest to vote yes to ALPA, I cannot in good conscience vote yes to them. I am philosophically opposed to them. Period. They exist merely as another level of manipulative politics whose primary goal is to get our dues. Secondary to that are the interests of their whole membership, not the interests of JetBlue. So long as the interests of JetBlue and their membership as a whole align, we won't see many problems, but eventually those interests may not align. Since we are the smaller group, we will be screwed for the "common good."

Sure, we might see some immediate gains, but I would rather have status quo than invite them on property. I'll wait for an in-house vote. Until then, I'm a solid and resounding NO.
