Not saying I’m not in that world but B6’s furlough costs are a lot less than the big guys because we only have two fleets. They could easily chop 1000 guys and bring 100-300 a year as needed. They could run the operation with less than 2000 pilots right now. If they chop 1000 then a large percentage of the pilot groups QOL and pay will go to *******. If you’ve been bidding at 30%, you will now be closer to 60%. Just because your not up for furlough doesn’t mean you aren’t screwed. Had a buddy at AA. Was about 200 from furlough but missed it and was commuting to SCR for 8 years on the MD. Something to consider. And now he’s screwed again. Will probably lose the left seat now and they are contracting flying out to us. WE STINK AGAIN! Keeping the pilot group intact benefits at least 70%.
yah this utopia that JetBlue pilots live in is wild. At some point the company will furlough. Simply don’t need us. I’m not sure why this is so hard for people to wrap their heads around. I will agree with you on the TLV. I think they need to do the same thing they did with LOA12. You still get your 75 or 70 but line values are going to be 30 hours or 50.
