Explain why keeping 4100 pilots on property all of a sudden means JetBlue is getting bought, are we the only employees that work here? Maybe the gate agents getting early out means we are going to close up shop? Or the flight attendants maybe getting furloughed means fedex is going to buy us?
Maybe JetBlue and ALPA signed an NDA to finalize the language, and make sure that the company is legal bound to the snap backs. Cross the T’s dot the I’s?
Less is more. I came to this forum because it has the words "airline pilot" in it which I think could help yield some credible knowledge. Those other two sites seem to be clown shows. I mention SWA a lot as they're going to benefit immensely from this event. I'm pretty senior so don't want any merger as I'd lose a ton of relative seniority. Really just thinking out loud but a NDA and keeping everyone on the seniority list means something changed the company's plan within about a week. I hope you're right and they're planning on a quick VFR return but right now at JFK no one is flying. We're starting to move airplanes but we don't need anywhere near 4100 pilots. Half the group is out of landing currency.
I think they'd keep us on property just to make things simpler if there is a transaction with us having a CBA. I hope you're right about them getting the details correct and just taking some time to hash things out. If we're 6000+ strong in several years I'd be a happy camper. It's an interesting time in the industry so I decided to get on one site and see what chaps are saying, nothing more nothing less.
