JetBlue is a peak and trough airline because of a large reliance on the leisure travel market. This is very smart on the Airline’s part and the Union’s part. This allows the company to appropriately Staff the Airline during the trough months, then adjust back to normal staffing during the peak months.Originally Posted by GrayFlyer
I have (had?) no reason to leave. I like it here. But this is reminiscent of covid times. Is there some reason the VILs shouldn't be very concerning?
VIL’s are good for everyone, pilots who like to maximize pay will now have that opportunity to pick up open time during the troughs and the peaks. Pilot’s that want time off will now have that option as well, win for all!
Great LOA, keep the momentum going into JCBA!
