Areas it falls short is retirement, hourly rates, profit sharing, work rules, etc. Not only is it currently well behind it will become even further behind in the next 2 years as all of those stated above move the bar up.
I'm sorry but this CBA puts Jetblue in the ballpark with those other airlines you mentioned. Retirement is currently higher than SWA for another year and a percentage point below the Legacies. Section 1 and 25 are strong. Vacation is standard. Payrates could be better especially with only a 2% Cola I agree. Profit sharing is in line with AA, and with fuel/oil prices starting to spike again, profits will be lower industry-wide anyway. For a first CBA, I think JbuAlpa did a tremendous job from what we had before.
