Maybe JetBlue management will respond differently, none of us know. But haven't seen any evidence that they will!!!
In the mean time, I will not sit back and give them the benefit of the doubt like so many of you guys. If you give them an INCH (of good will and help them recruit) they will TAKE a MILE from you/us. Every time. Think about it.
Theyve been given enough- I agree. Ive stopped writing LORs and steer guys into the arms of the real airlines when they ask about B6.
Whoever said B6 knows about an inability to staff the airline, doesnt have a clue. Its not that the airline cant be staffed- Even with the grids red in February, they will just keep using the reserves as the "unscheduled line-holders" that they have become. This summer, I think we'll see reserves break mins- Lookin forward to see how they spin the next IROP trainwreck.
