I appreciate your honesty and not being hostile toward me.

I’ve said my peace...I disagree with what you are saying because when people pick up VDA and RSA that makes the company believe they don’t need to hire more! When you see the same people doing extra work and making about 1.2 times more a month than most of the other pilots, that not only hurts the rest of us, like the people who need a job and are looking to get hired. Look at the CA’s...they barely get vacation unless they are top 10 percent. If they made more CA’s, then it’s good for everyone, and the company because people can have an actual life outside JB.

Nobody is telling people to stop working? I’m telling them the exact same thing the MEC says in their emails.

“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.”

“Be the professional pilot you have always been, but remember, cultural dividends will not fund your retirement or pay your mortgage. As much as your instinct may be to go above and beyond, it is imperative you follow SOP. Pilot unity continues to galvanize as we push toward a resolution. It's this unity, with every one of us rowing in the same direction, that is going to ultimately lead us to a contract we can all be proud of. Until then, simply do your job.”

They can’t make you work more than what the contract says, so when “They” ask you to do more, just don’t do it!

I’m done here...hope we get a contract before I turn 65!!!
