Blowing pixie dust about how wonderful this place is is a far cry from the truth. At the time I was hired we were within throwing distance of our peers, today, not even in the same ballpark. It's guys like you, the, "I love my job at Jetblue! Where's the blue gloves? I love this culture! Drop the brake early and help the gate agent. Let me help you with that bag! Look at me, I'm making a PA in front of everyone! Don't you love my jokes..." BS that's dragging, DRAGGING, us down.
Let me ask you this, the very people who have these leading contracts, what do they do different? If I have to answer for you then it's all a lost cause.
This airline targets juicers willing to single handely remove each vertabrea of our non-existent spine.
Wear your lanyard, stop blowing pixie dust and stop dreaming about unicorns. Let's tell the true story, this place needs help. We need better management, we need professionalism, we need a CBA!

You're making a lot of assumptions. You don't have to be miserable to want a good CBA and support ALPA. If that works for you, great. But don't tell those of us who aren't miserable how to behave or act. We are on the same team, even if we don't express it the same way you do. I can do a stand up PA and yet still support ALPA and want a good CBA. I will NEVER tell you to do a stand up PA, but I sure expect the same courtesy from you if I do decide to do one.
I short, you do you.
