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.
I am actually really impressed with management right now.
If the TA is bad, they will clear the summer with all the help they need while we review and vote. If it is good, they aren't as short sighted as I thought. Either way they played the game well and max performed the pilot group.
