I agree with the original posts point. Let's make this place great. Let's not cave into a crap CBA. Let's not be treated less than we are worth.

Lets be fair the applicants that have JB as their #1 as I did, because they may live in a domicile and don't want to fly 5 legs a day in an md88 or 737.

Grass isn't always greener.
I'll take the free uniform over having to pay close to $1000 for a descent one.
I'll cross seat belts when I nonrev because I'll more than likely not be #46 on the standby list for a flight that's oversold buy 20. I'm crossing seat belts, if I have time, to help the inflight because I care more about them than I do screwing managment.

I'm really happy here for now and what the future holds. A new CBA will change my views for sure. I won't complain if it's bad, I'll just leave. If it's great I'll be super pumped and hope to retire from a company called JetBlue Airways.

Negotiations suck, I'm optimistic the majority of our pilot group is strong willed and we just doesn't complain in droves on APC like the regional forums do.
