Mind you, they cover their respective areas multiple times a week while we at JetBlue aid in the transport of nearly 14 million passengers in just the twelve months ahead of Spring of 2017.

Point is Vinnie Bagadonuts is doing very well for himself as a DSNY union represented employee and makes a killing more than 75k a year if they want to after they gain just one hint of seniority in their respective garages. Their premium pay and holiday pay blow a number of airlines’ compensation standards for flight ops employees quite easily out of the water. Including the pennies we at JetBlue are currently provided.

Otherwise, the general population doesn’t really care why we are picketing. The optics alone are powerful enough. If you don’t want to take part in acquiring what those who have came before me and those who will come after me deserve as professionals then that’s your prerogative but I hope you won’t attempt to still seek an answer of what good does picketing do in the eyes of the general population. Consider, perhaps for just a mere moment, that they are not the primary targeted audience. Good luck and be safe! In Unity...
Well said.
