JB’s co-base situation is probably one of the better ones. JetBlue pilots get paid 1 hour of limo/DH pay to go to EWR for trips starting there. Ditto for HPN. And they get the cost of JFK-LGA transportation reimbursed each time for any LGA trips. Don’t think any other airlines do that. 2:30 was an improvement from the 2 hours it used to be. And the 14 hour long call is longer than anyone’s. JetBlue pilots will keep trying to make improvements. But, since you aren’t even on property yet, you should prob use a wait and see approach before you start imposing your opinions on what the jetblue pilot group should or shouldn’t have in the CBA with regards to co-bases. These are negotiated items, and if you don’t like them, feel free to work for improvements after comparing to legacies and noting discrepancies based on what the pilot group wants.
