I do not get the feeling that B6 feels we deserve, or that it can afford, an industry-standard contract. I know we have butted heads before about this 16, but Ive been through contract negotiations, and its deja vu.
I mean it when I say "I hope im wrong" and that you and the" believers" are right, because then we all win. In the meantime, Im hoping for a sale of jetblue to UAL. Not perfect, but it would mean a nice contract, albeit after a few tumultuous transition years. Who knows.
I hear ya. I understand the consternation with our contract. It's painful to see everyone get market-rate contracts as we trudge along at the levels we're at. We're all only in this gig for a finite amount of time, and every day that goes by, is another one wasted with the sub par PEA.....sounds like the FO window keeps getting fewer and less qualified candidates......management is going to have to decide, are we a career airline stepping stone, or a destination airline.....whether we get bought/merge down the road will be determined by how they answer that question....
