The first contract is the foundation of which all future CBA's that a company has is based off of just that .......the 1st one?
The above airlines don't have the scope that we have.
We announce a new city or a new aircraft no guessing....Jetblue ALPA Pilots will be doing the flying.
I am glad we did not follow any of the above airlines on their scope or their current CBA. We gave them something to strive for....
We have a good foundation SCOPE in our first CBA certainly not our last. Hopefully they can learn what we did on your first contract which they don't have in their #(enter current CBA edition).
Actually, by and large the Legacies had much BETTER contracts decades ago with line bidding, pensions and all kinds of QOL enhancing inefficiencies.
After running each CBAs through BK's, the Legacy mgmts have been better able to modernize them at a rapid pace, stripping pensions, line bidding, and all kinds of scope relaxations, and QOL inefficiencies out of the CBA's to better "compete". This last 8 years has finally changed the supply/demand ratio to the pilots favor allowing them to finally achieve just some of what they lost, back.
