For the last several years plenty have said they will be leaving in droves and do not. I don't know why do you?
I don;t know why pilots go places and not others. JetBlue got real lucky when they hired you! Are you leaving? I am not. Nor am I stuck either. I like it here and look forward to our first CBA.
I always admire your optimism HB. I hope you have the ability to "look forward" 18 months. Based on what you state above, B6 has no incentive for a decent CBA. We are not closer to one now that mediation has begun. Hope Im wrong man.
