We are all one event away from the music stopping and the games they are playing in Ukraine right now isn't giving me a tingly feeling. Or once this economy stops the hiring will come to a stop and that so called "leverage" goes out the window. I think we all need to fight for the best NOW, not a band-aid in hopes of something great that may never happen 1-2yrs from now. Ive been in this industry long enough, even 6 months is an eternity.
I wasn’t advocating for voting for anything mediocre ever. Seriously! Top A320 pay now and again in a JCBA. Nothing less.
You’re missing the point of leverage in our JCBA with JetBlue. It’s not so much the pilot supply issue while that will help a lot if it continues. It’s that JetBlue cannot run two completely different airlines. They need one larger JetBlue and they can’t do it without a JCBA. Frontier on the other hand could have easily run two very similar airlines while appearing to negotiate.
Wake up and read your section 1 and JetBlue’s section 1
