Now we're in the trenches negotiating a CBA with grievances being filed in both directions and the company does what it always does. Dangles a slight carrot. But I KNEW! ALPA and the MEC would see through the ruse. We can't accept anything until it's all hashed out in the CBA. Stick to our guns. Just like was promised in the ALPA vote. We need this! And I was totally misled. Now by ALPA.
That's the point. Take nothing till we get it all. You don't think this will come up again? You don't think this will influence what % raise is offered going forward? You don't think that JetBlue ELT is already 3 steps ahead of the MEC now that they know they have the power of the union voting group? Stuck your head back in the ALPA Kool-Aid and drink deeply. I'd rather still be drinking the Jblue juice.

Well then you should be thankful there is the majority of JB pilots who will save you from yourself.
I'll take the 8% raise and allow the NC to continue to negotiate, our strike and preparedness committee to formalize a plan for information warfare when that becomes necessary..etc....etc....
You're welcome for the raise. Glad you can hold your head high in your defiance. No matter how misplaced it may be.
