We have to know where to live in this industry. We have to know where the "takes" are and where the "gives" are.

The 2000's were incredibly bad times for the airlines. Jetblue was born in the 2000's and survived. The key to everything that happens in 2010's-2020's is continuing down this road. It's a two-way street. Right now, we've fullfilled our end of this labor agreement and we deserve to be rewarded. I don't pay the mortgage with pizza. Can we continue with the success of the past in the same manner (DR) as the past is the question. In an era of coninuted growth, profitablility and success we WANT more compensation. It has to be realistic. Riddle says, its jetblue's pay model to which the legacy's wanted to reduce thier pilots rates. When was the last time jetblue's management asked for a pay reduction? That's the whole point. Responsible and realistic growth and compensation, which protects the brand and our jobs. That's what we all really want. That's what a career corporation or company is based upon.
