" Make no mistake, we are now deeply entrenched in a labor dispute. We must continue to strengthen our unity while letting management know that the well of pilot goodwill has run dry. Remember, our duties as JetBlue pilots are clearly spelled out in the company manuals and federal regulations. Nowhere are we required to make standup PAs, don blue gloves and clean the aircraft, or go outside of our normal job description. Nor will any of these acts of pilot generosity help us achieve a market-rate contract. "
While I like what they said in this message (despite no actual results demonstrated), they need to clarify what "donning the blue gloves" really means.
On a trip = No blue gloves
Commuting to/from work = don blue gloves
I keep emphasizing this because we have no legal resolution or even a union sponsored grievance against blue gloves when we get a ride to/from work, even if we're in uniform.
