Per JetBlue’s current Scope section, we can not combine operations until we have voted in a JCBA. In other words, for the first (and last) time in most of our careers, the company needs a new CBA more than we do.

Every week that the companies are forced to maintain separate operations is millions of dollars of lost profits. Keep this in mind when reaching out to your reps and negotiating committee. Our two pilot groups will never have this kind of bargaining leverage again.
