No. You or I don't know what the future brings to either pilot group. We're far behind the United contract yes. But we're still negotiating our first contract in the history of our airline. We've always had a steep hill to climb. We're only part of the way there too. We've still got a long road ahead of us. Patience is very important right now. We cannot have pilots, especially JetBlue pilots, arguing with each other. We need to remain "United" and push for the contract we deserve.
Pretty much.

What some guys don't understand is, it wasn't that long ago that a L-UAL widebody CA/FO that's maxed out made LESS than an JB 190 CA/FO makes now.

And while UAL/CAL were busy with the merger, DAL was light years ahead of them. It's called "pattern bargaining", many don't seem to understand the concept.....
