Zap while that might be true it is also Jetblue's excuse for our healthcare. We are compared with our peers otherwise why don't we agree to the same healthcare Walmart employees have. For that matter, if everyone else is doing it, let's drop our 401K down to 3% or get rid of STD/LTD.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not picking on you at all. These are the arguments Jetblue management uses to defend their decisions when it comes to our benefits. The MWW group, in their online interview, also stated that the key to getting employees to believe the message is repetition. So as it stands today we have pilots who justify managements severe actions by using MWW's advertising strategy.
Meanwhile Jetblue is a financially stable company with a clear ability to provide industry standard benefits.
It begs the question is the paint only being touched up when the house needs to be painted because something is in the works?
