SMH...
This is ALL conjecture Rabbit- Who knows how long it will take to get a TA with the status quo vs. this 8% raise with a 33% cut in profit sharing. I just think the company will use our submission to extend negotiations. Do you think that view has any merit? Has the company proved itself to be an honest entity? Of course 8% is a little more money, but if it allows the company to drag its feet, its a long term pay cut. Can you see that?
There are no guarantees except that B6's goal is to get as much from the pilot group while paying as little as possible. Im not sure you'll be familiar with the expression but jetblue is simply "cooling out their mark"- its a con game. Enjoy your 8%- itll be the last "raise" we get for 3 years.
