I was impressed at how quickly we were able to vote in MEC/LEC members, fill committee positions, and get to work on the CBA. The reps have all been excellent whenever I've had an issue. There is a definite feeling that we are heading in the right direction.
That's great to hear. I realize the vast majority of the work is done by the local guys and not the national ALPA guys, but im happy to hear things are moving in the right direction at JetBlue.
Looks like JetBlue, Virgin, Spirit and possibly Frontier will all be represented by ALPA. Seems like there might be some strength in that. Let's raise the bar!!
