From JBALPA MEC
Fellow Pilots,
ALPA National legal counsel has requested that the JBU MEC post this message for those of you on this forum suggesting or advocating that pilots not pick up open time, take other operational steps, or pressure others to do the same: STOP.
Your messages are very ill advised and harm rather than help your negotiating committee. Efforts such as these are counterproductive to secure the fair agreement we all deserve. Your MEC does not support them.
If you are found in violation of the Railway Labor Act by supporting, inciting, or participating in a concerted effort to disrupt JetBlue Airways, you could put your union and fellow pilots’ bargaining strategy in jeopardy. You may potentially be held personally and professionally liable for your actions on this forum. You could also subject yourself to discipline or discharge. Do not think that your online anonymity is guaranteed.
We do not want you to jeopardize our collective interests or your career on the false premise that adding pressure to the company by resorting to illegal activity will result in a favorable outcome.
Lastly, other then this post, the MEC will not be using this forum as a form of communications.
Fraternally,
JBU MEC VC.
