You want some prospective go read the Spirit thread, they are not happy that we seem to be "plowing through " sections( their words) while they have been stuck. Are we Spirit? No Should this CBA be done? Yes. But please stop with the childish name calling because people don't hate JetBlue as much as you. It's not going to help you win an argument, it will most likely just lead to guys tuning you out.
Like you said it could be a long process and we need to work together not fight each other.
I disagree Joe. I don't like guys spreading false hope, like you do whether you mean to or not. This company has not shown that it is willing to spend money on us, and that is the only way we close the gigantic gap. None of us know how much of the gap will be closed or when, but indications aren't good on either question right now, so I'm not a fan of just saying "give it time, things will be great". No one knows that for sure, and that attitude only serves to give the company more time, whether intentional or not.
And we are NOT plowing through ANY sections that cost money.
I also don't think having some of you guys painting JetBlue in a more flattering light than they deserve at a critical time like this or saying "just give it time, things are getting better/will be great" could ever be considered "working together".
