It's not necessarily they don't want quality of life rules but it's more of a devil that you know deal. They know their contract, it's pluses and minuses, and how to exploit it. They don't know that about our contract so what incentive do they have to vote for any of our quality of life improvements? I mean yeah we convinced the five guys that visit the JetBlue forums online that drop to zero is great but what about the other 99% of the JetBlue pilots that don't come online and read this stupid crap web site
Not with that attitude we won’t. Why. Not. Have. Both. We have the leverage, between the shortage of pilots and the company wanting to have a combined airline as soon as practical. I’m sick of people talking about having to give up one thing for another, shows a huge sign of weakness. I for one will stand my ground to keep our QOL, and will not accept any pay below what the legacy’s are paying for the same equipment.
