This communique is for entertainment purposes only. It does not implicitly or explicitly acknowledge employment with any air carrier nor is any relationship implied. This communique does not represent the opinions or policies of ALPA or JB ALPA and does not represent the collective pilot group, ALPA, nor does it imply collective bargaining, advocacy, or workforce actions intended to disrupt operations.
I actually like it here. And like each and everyone who works here, I'm here because of the choices I've made. I'm here because I want to be here. If I didn't want to be here, I'd simply quit and find another job. I want to make blue a better place (support ALPA, volunteer, etc, etc)
I really don't understand the feeling of being "trapped." It's silly. We are all free to make the best choices for ourselves and our families. If you think there is a job that fits you better, I highly encourage you to pursue it. Life is too short not living up to your full potental.
Queue- if you really view the pilot group (and JetBlue as a whole) with such distain? I'm not entirely convinced you are a JetBlue Pilot, but if you are a Jetblue Pilot and you think we are "like a regional to get to the legacies," why not just quit and go to a legacy?
I get that you're trying to stir the pot and try and get the group angry and affect change. But honestly, do you hear your self talk? Lots of hyperbole. And if you really are this angry and have distain for this pilot group, why not quit (assuming you actually work here?) Honest question. While I deeply disagree with your arguments and the way you just attacked the group, you aren't stupid. So why not make a change and live the life you want at the job you want?
Edit: to be clear. I am a yes voter, and no I don't have a regional mentality. I simply think voting yes wins us more than voting no.
July 27th cannot come soon enough. Tired of the name calling.
