Thats kind of my point it’s seems like a very good deal for jetblue and not so hot for AA. We basically get to pull all of our planes out of the desert start hiring even have significant growth AND start building TATL ops.
Obviously we need to read the TA and if that’s how this all works great.

I’m pretty sure when management from both sides first sat down to work out this agreement, that the livelihoods of both pilot groups weren’t thought about much at all. The fruits that the Jetblue pilots received was just a byproduct of this alliance. A lot of that fruit is tied to Section 1 of our contract.
This allows AA to partner with another big player in the Northeast and remain competitive against both United and Delta. This agreement is mutually beneficial to both parties. No one forced AA to come to the table.
Maybe you are just looking at this from a pilots vantage point?
