I caution everyone reading this post however. A pay rate is nothing without rigs, scope or benefits. With respect to benefits Jetblue is not inclined to provide pilots a different health care plan so if the details are not contained within the agreement then expect a yearly change as we see now.
Food for thought ladies and gents.
And this guy ^^^^^^^
My opinion only is the company wants to do other things the 321lr or a new fleet or both and it was time to be done with this contract. As was said many times they could afford it they just wanted to play games. Finally Wall St spoke up and this “unknown cost” needed to be dealt with. That’s the payne optimist view.
Or
They totally played us again but you would need the NC to sign off on that and if that was true we have big big problems.
