700+ Jetblue pilots stood unified today in the cold in NYC. If you don’t think picketing matters I can guarantee you that a showing of that size sends a message to Management and also is incredibly unifying for the group.

700 of them showed up to picket for a contract when what they have now is only slightly worse than what we just TAd. Some of their pay is already higher than our TA. Their rigs are the same with duty period averaging minus the 24hr overnight credit. Ask them about 10hr 3 days. Their retirement is worse than our TA but much better than what we have now. Their LTD is solid but not quite as good as our TA I believe. They have zero scope. I’m anxious to see what we got there. Point is- 700+! Where are we Spirit pilots?
I know for a fact the total of pilots from ALL our pickets wouldn't surpass the 700 that showed for JetBlue! We have an apathetic group.
