Lets not start this. AAL was losing in JFK, BOS and LAX and it wasn't because of Jetblue. We aren't chasing the corporate market at Jetblue. The 800lb gorilla of Delta airlines made the enemy of my enemy my friend.
It appears to me that Jetblue was in the power position during this negotiation and got a good deal but it also appears that AAL management is doing what it needs to do to come out of the back end of this as a dominant airline. This is probably good(using the larger view) for all of us. Either way, it has nothing to do with the pilots.
