Another key item in the LOA also stipulates that no additional modifications can be made to the profit-sharing formula outside of negotiations.

the pilots voted 97 percent in favor of ratifying the LOA without waiving any positions or rights in collective bargaining. In spite of the overwhelming support for the LOA, the company’s unilateral change to profit sharing underscores the need for the pilot group to achieve a negotiated contract.”
Yeah? And SO? And after over two years what has ALPA really done for them? Not a thing. Reality check JetBlue.....check why you’re wallets are fatter after two years. That’s right, JetBlue gave it to you.
If things were so great non-union at JetBlue, how’d ALPA get involved in the first place?
