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.
If our NC negotiated and worse our reps send something that bad to us it’s time to clean house. While that would be a time consuming task normally, spirits attrition problem only gets worse as the dominos on new agreements fall and I expect a real AIP materializes on short order.
And let’s just stop talking about Alaska. The JetBlue guys aren’t asking for or expecting that and neither should we. Delta is the new benchmark. What is so hard for pilots to understand about that.
