JetBlue pilots are driven to be working under a top tier CBA, they need to apply to companies that offer them already instead of hoping and dreaming that one is going to fall into their lap because they have a union now. It's going to be a long time before they see one otherwise.
I'm not sure how to read this post. Whether you're saying this is JB so we should only get 10-20% (which will still leave us 20-40% behind) and if you want to be paid better you should leave, or our pilots are a bunch of juicers who won't even wear their lanyards so how do we expect to get what we deserve?
If it's the latter, you have somewhat of a point. If you can't even follow instructions/requests to wear a lanyard to show solidarity, how can we expect you to pick up a sign when the time comes? Dead weight, and working in direct opposition of a market rate CBA, every one of them.
