BUT....BUT
We have to judge this document on its merits and compare it to what the alternate outcome is. I don't believe in any possible way that we would achieve another AIP for at least a year. Are the holes worth holding up for a year at the earliest? I haven't decided yet.
Financial penalties remove the grievance process (jetblue is complying with the "fine", therefore meeting terms of agreement and nothing to grieve) and that fine would likely be distributed to the whole pilot group instead of the pilot impacted by the non-implemented item. That doesn't work as well as you think.
As a reserve guy, I am most impacted by implementation. I'd prefer to start implementing rather than kick the can down the road. How'd that work for us when we voted no to a union...twice?
