We need better protection. Period. I am not a lawyer, but I really don't think it will raise costs much at all. Now, I also think whether we vote a union in or not to fix sect 15 (and other issues), that is 100% in the hands of management and their decisions. The company is making money and I do believe they can raise labor costs to fix many of the issues. With that being said, the company must be smart about costs. If costs get out of hand for the current market and competition, they will come to us to lower costs. This has happened at every major airline in the last decade, and many of them have went into chapter 11 protection. We all want more money. JB is making a lot of money. I believe we deserve more, but we also need to enjoy being at a growing company that continues to make profits. I don't have a crystal ball to see what the market conditions will be like in 5 or 10 years.

The title of this thread, JetBlue movement, is entirely in the hands of management and their decisions to fix the issues so more of us can call JB a destination carrier with destination benefits. As for me, I enjoy it here but I see there are many things that need to be fixed. Job protection is and will remain the number one item I want fixed.
