If nothing else, this gives some pilots enough extra pay to allow them to hold out for something better if we don't get industry standard initially, instead of settling for something less, but better than we have now. BL: I don't think we lose any negotiating capital by accepting this.
Not about what we lose now- its about JB using this raise as a way to stall the negotiations later when the NMB is involved. Jetblue will look like a more generous company than they actually are.
Vote yes- enjoy the 500/month- just be aware of the playbook and get ready for more shenanigans. Its a part of CBA negotiations.
