You are at Jetblue. Does that mean you are “special” too?

Regardless of political affiliation, we are Americans. Regardless of YES/NO votes we are Jetblue Pilots (unless you quit.)

Why divide us further? Clearly there is much butt hurt on both sides, but why can’t we agree that we need to all do better for TA2? If the 26% ****ed off the 74%, we will honestly get nothing accomplished in our next TA. Let's all work together and get DL/UA +1%

Since this was gonna happen with or without a CBA... Had this been voted down I wonder what the sentiment would be strictly under 117?

The problem is that terms such as divisiveness are just instruments of social control, group think. Division is ok and actually good. Otherwise, you get 74% that agree on a bad course of action. Instead, people need to be taught to think rather than just accept ALPA and defeatist talking points. I think it is more important to scrape all the defeatist, juicer, RJ mentality arguments that governed this failed thinking, then plaster it everywhere as a reminder of how people failed and how they will fail again. Accountability.

Guys, I would just like to say, after getting my pairings under the new "industry leading" rules, I take it all back.

I was so wrong and y'all were so right. The amount of flexibility in under the new rules is AMAZING. I can DROP TO ZERO!!!

Oh wait, all I got was 3-5 day trips. I have zero flexibility. That can't be correct, this CBA is awesome. B6ALPA and all you yes voters told me so.

Where before I could be home almost every night, now I am gone HALF THE MONTH.


Home run guys. Nice work. Can't wait till the rest of the industry leading provisions kick in.

I've got 18 days off and I'm a pretty junior line holder in my category.

Maybw you don't know how to bid.

The only lines with 18 days off that I see in NY on the 320 aren’t commutable on one/both ends...even for guys with decent seniority. So for commuters, these 18 day off lines can give people less time at home than previous pairings.

There’s obviously an issue with these pairings, otherwise the union wouldn’t be making a deal about it.

LGB/FLL/MCO (mostly local, non commuter bases) guys lost a ton of day/2 day trips. The commuter heavy bases lost a lot of commutability. And our non-commutable 5 day trips are absurd.
