Ever looked at why JB had many disappointing quarters?

Ever looked at why JB performed so poorly compared to Airlines like AirTran and AK?


Was ANY of that caused by labor costs?????


NO!

Are you aware that JB scored a VERY significant advantage just by virtue of remaining non-union? Having NO work rules gives them complete control over productivity. That's something that makes a pay rate increase for every Pilot a walk in the park!

And, analyst's even asked what the company would budget to make improvements for the Pilots in return?


Why do you think NOTHING was done in return!


This should be good!

I am aware of all of those. What you fail to mention is how much WORSE those things would have been with much higher labor costs. But in your world, it wouldn't have been any worse because labor costs are FREE!

PAY US WHAT EVER WE WANT, ITS ALL FREE! YAHOO!!!!

This should be good.
