Copied this from another post. 20% my arse.
All JetBlue emails and press releases are filled with misdirection and, often, lies.
Re-read and double check all their "facts".
Roughly a below industry standard raise of 13-3.5-3.5. No increase to retirement, loss of premium pay, no increase in PTO or vacation. Additional verbiage changes in protections yet to be vetted.
The biggest complaints including industry standard pay, benefits and retirement were not addressed. Healthcare and FSM changes were not included in the PEA. To date changes by email in everything but pay will continue.
As mentioned above training contracts will be required.
One last issue. Pilots wanted all the documents associate with our employment and benefits incorporated into the PEA. JetBlue decided not to do this. Why, because this allows JetBlue to make changes via email to any part of our employement not contained in the pea. Exme, insurance, FSM, dependability policy etc. This is the difference between a pea and a CBA.
Training contracts are not enforceable in many states, I wouldn't worry to much about those. Yes an increase in pay 12year captain in 2016 202 an hour still short compared to DAL which will be 209 but getting closer. 14.5, 4 & 4 would have put us on par with DAL but we know that will never happen. O well back to the grind, however I do smell a third drive in the near future. Good luck, stay safe.
