Then there is the guy worried that we are leaving money behind by voting no. He is usually convinced that B6ALPA gave up all our leverage and now we are defeated. He would fight, but believes this group would just crumble and accept less. I don't completely disagree with him. We have a lot of wanna be scabs here.
If you are happy voting yes, KNOWING this contract is sub par, bringing down all of our peers at the bargaining table because of some small gains from where we sit now, yes you are a wanna be scab. You are doing the same work as a scab would be doing, undermining the piloting profession out of greed.
Since you wanna blur the lines and use the term scab so carelessly Gas Passer....what does that make you? Jetblue for 18 years has trailed its peers in compensation and benefits. Is someone that's been on the Jetblue seniority list a scab? Since you wanna use that term loosely, I guess that you could argue that employment at Jetblue, means you support substandard wages right? Of course not! Unless we're talking about crossing an actual picket line during a Strike, I'd recommend finding a new term to use.
