Rumors aren't just hear say from one pilot to an other. Every corporation sits around the table and discusses every angle, option and scenario (we hope). So what we hear as rumored probably was presented at the table, whether it evolves or not we will hear about it. We as pilots sit on our monthly bid package hoping that awesome rumor to help me gain 10, 20% movement in hopes to get weekends or holidays off and even upgrade when can take first available or "look I can hold a line" comes true. When it doesn't we *****, it's our nature. What might seem as an eternity to us isn't such in the corporate world. Patience is going to be our best friend. JetBlue has some real good people at the helm, I'm excite for the future.
Cheers, I need to go grab another beer.
