I actually sort of agree with southerner here. This coupled with the inevitable inability to staff are two powerful cards we hold. If we vote yes for a "good enough for jetblue" TA we may never have this much leverage again.
Ironically our $h1t pay is one of our strongest bargaining chips.

That’s funny. And true. Lol

So you’ve already made the decision that you’re going to vote down a TA without even taking the time to read or understand what’s in it? Got it. You are insulting our negotiators and those working hard to bring you a market rate contract. You really have no idea what you’re talking about. You must a charter member in BlueDriver’s club.

I sure started a sh!t sandwich didn't I? I'm going to start including a disclaimer on all my posts.
This forum is for opinions. If you want official communications check your emails or ALPA.org. With that said, I think there's a good chance we finish up negotiations before the end of January. Why? Because as some have said JB has incentive to get this finished and removing the looming unknown costs off their books. We've also got 2 rounds of negotiations with the mediator in January. If they (the company) don't come to the table with market rate proposals as we've demanded after those two sessions, sh!t will be hitting the fan. Ball is in the company's court we've already made it clear where this will head if they don't play ball. We're there. Pressure is increasing and our picketing date is the deadline.
Disclaimer: The opinions expressed herein are not necessarily those of ALPA, not necessarily mine, and probably not necessary.

Spirit will get a good contract before we do. They are already having trouble staffing (we arent, yet).
I look at republic as the model. Worst paid, no contract for 8 years, then they start cancelling flying for staffing and bam! Management found a bunch of money they said they didn't have to pay the pilots.

Until JetBlue knows their cost structure, JetBlue can’t plan long-term. And the investors know this. They’ve said as much in the calls when they ask questions. That’s why they keep asking what the status of the CBA is. Why would you invest in a company that has a big ole question mark where labor costs are concerned?

They are asking to try and determine WHEN they need to include those higher costs primarily.

Just goes to further show that your opinions and judgement are worthless.
You must be a founding member of Southerner's club.
