I know what the MEC puts out. I get the same emails every other JB pilot does. “fly safely, fly SOP, stay informed, wear a lanyard, and don't tell others what to do with regards to RSA/VDA.”
I have never seen an email stating “don’t tell others what to do with regards to RSA/VDA”.
I have seen emails that say the first part of that quote, and then end with, do your job, nothing more, nothing less. At this point, I won’t tell everyone what that means, because I’ve already said it 10+ times.
If “they”want to come after me with a subpoena, then fine...I’ll take whatever punishment they give, but that’s my choice. I’m not doing anything you guys aten’t doing when it comes to shaming. I’m just giving my 2 cents, 1 for RSA and the 2nd for VDA. Look at Delta last year. All their pilots stopped picking up trips for 1 month, and the next month they had a contract!
Please, keep talking about what I’m saying every other paragraph over and over. Because the more people who hear what I keep saying, may actually help our situation if they actually stay home, spend some time with their family, instead of just flying what they bid and being happy!
The best thing you can do, is ignore me and maybe I’ll stop posting.
JB management is like a Harvey Weinstein...they’ll keep getting away with it, until someone does something to hurt them...The MEC is doing their job, but if people can’t bring themselves to work only what they bid and relax, then the MEC will be negotiating for the unforeseen future, while we lag behind in pay and benefits. The only way to make a JB management feel the pain, is when we have an irop and nobody is around to pick up EXTRA trips.
“Drop the Mic”
The difference is no one from B6 ALPA nor the MEC has advised the membership to "hurt them". Quite the opposite in fact, they have advised us NOT to harm, or be perceived as harming, jetblue's business and to ONLY DO YOUR ASSIGNED JOB. This shouldn't be that hard for you to understand or comprehend.
Do as you wish, just realize that the union has advised against this type of behavior (intentionally harming jetblue's business) and have said that you stand the risk of being fired with very limited, in any, recourse.
Good luck with that...
