What I find the most frustrating is the NC, by SSC opinion, led us to believe Jetblue would not change the pairings despite the contract. The comment was raised at the two road shows I attended that contractually stipulating a minimum for a pairing set would force/encourage Jetblue to build them to that minimum standard. In both instances the NC stated that would not happen. In what universe will Jetblue Airways not go the cheapest route?
Well...
The union contractually guaranteed that our QOL will suffer greatly for this entire contract cycle. Unlike Vacation or insurance(other important issues) this colossal screw up in scheduling affects us every single month for the foreseeable future. Truly ****ed at our guys for this one.
