We’ve never had more leverage. If we don’t realize that it’s on us. I am glad you don’t have a vote. Unfortunately your toxic attitude has much more reach.
Do realize that most first year pilots just want a pay raise, and will say a lot to try to convince you to give it to them, however short sighted it may be.
I expect this deal to be between JetBlue and Alaska rates, I expect the MEC to send it to the pilots, and I expect the pilots to vote it in roughly 65-35. I hope I’m wrong and that it is Alaska or better (or that there’s more backbone). We’ll find out tomorrow.
