How’s that when the deal hasn’t yet been approved or implemented? Seems jetblue is carrying nothing but jetblue pax, and AA and Alaska, oh and envoy Piedmont PSA Mesa SkyWest and republic (did I forget anymore?) are carrying your pax? Nice mental gymnastics holding ill-will toward jetblue when I’d say AA’s (lack of) scope is to blame for your outsourced flying, when jetblue isn’t even approved to do any, yet AA management (not JB management, not JB pilots) just put 1605 AA pilots on the street. You may also wanna look at your pilot group and union for failing to mitigate furloughs. Depending on your politics maybe the federal government as well.

So to recap: there are a lot of parties who could take some blame for AA furloughs (well just one made the decision-AA mgmt, but others could be linked to potentially saving them as I said above), but jetblue pilots aint one of them. Nothing JB pilots did or could have done would make a lick of a difference to the outcome of AA’s furloughs today.

Sucks. Two of my good friends just got the axe at AA (and two at HAL). It’s personal to me. But there is no valid jetblue blame for it. Lash out elsewhere.
