It was great to see everyone out there. Here's some pictures from the ALPA photographers:

The 3 street-facing sides of the building were surrounded, plus another 100 pilots or so in a loop on the greenbelt in front of the plaza. The building perimeter is 975 feet using the Google measuring tool, and another 300 for the loop. That's almost a quarter mile of pilots standing shoulder to shoulder!

Operational interruption will be the only real voice that they will hear. 700 pilots freezing their fingers off while the rest of the line is flying isn't doing anything. It's a nice gesture to one another but it's better to use the union resources on something with some teeth. No disrespect intended to the B6 group.

You must not be very familiar with how this works. We’ll strike if released by the NMB. Until then there’s nothing we can do to interrupt operations as a collective action. To suggest otherwise is illegal and irresponsible.
Yesterday showed management how strong the unity of this pilot group is. It sent a very clear message. We will do our job and only our job and fly SOP.

Do you work here? Go troll somewhere else. This absolutely gets the attention of management. What if only 100 guys showed up? You think management would be in any hurry to get a CBA done? This showed jetBlue that we’re sick of how long this process has taken and it’s time to give us a contract.

I get it that everyone is sentimental and touchy about it, but try not to take offense at different viewpoints.

Call me what you wish, but be honest...Do you believe that they were previously unaware of how sick the pilot group is of it? They are fully aware of how many people were and are willing to fill the seats without a proper contract. I have years of experience with this, and B6 crews are in a bad position. Picketing is good for Facebook feels, but at the end of the day, you need quicker motion to declare impasse and show teeth. I don't fault the pilot group for this, it's ALPA that is dragging everyone through this mucky charade.
