As the legacy carriers start/continue to recall, JB will start to lose more and more experienced pilots. Management will have to do something to keep us from becoming a training center for other majors, so why don't we tell them what it will take. Flying an A320, for a major LCC, and providing a better service deserves at least the same pay rates and benefits as our competition. We should not expect FedEX or UPS pay but at least match what pilots for similiar airlines are getting. And if we don't get at least SWA pay then why not unionize. No where does it say that a union has to be butting heads with management. To me a union/union rep would keep the airline small. No way Barger/Bushy/Neeleman will remember the names of todays new hires as they were able to do 3 years ago, but having one point of contact would get every heard. Kill Bill is right in alot what he says. Too bad he directs most of his hate of JetBlue towards its pilots instead of the airline. I am sure he hates to see us get shafted but I would love to see Kill Bill and others lead JB pilots in the right direction to get a union started. It wouldn't take much for ALPA to send an invite for a pilot get-together in NYC. Just my 2 cents and realaity check!
