do you think our entire NC, MEC and scope committee is inept? I think they did a good job that will yield us, as JetBlue pilots, positive results.
If you still think they are stupid, inept or just wrong— fill out a PDR. Ask your questions and the union will call you back directly and get the answers you need....
You didn't answer the question. The only protections and guarantees are what are in the TA. You can read company and union emails, but if it isn't written in the TA it's just fluff or opinion.
Do you have ANY idea how many scope givebacks didn't go "as the pilots or union expected"? Nearly every scope give back in history has been a mistake with hindsight. It's just true.
Maybe this one will end differently. But I have a question, if this will result in such dramatic growth for JB, why are the growth guarantees IN THE TA, the only enforceable document, so paltry? While they guarantee no shrinkage from 2021 levels, they essentially guarantee no less than zero growth. Why?
And if it's so great for JB, why such a paltry financial benefit to the pilots when it's the pilots who must allow the full scope of the deal?
I'm not trying to be mean, but you seem to have no idea what is an enforceable document or a fluff email, or any sense of airline scope history.
Can you give an example of a mainline pilot group giving up scope and winning like Charlie Sheen?
