Your anger may be misdirected, in this instance. Jetblue management doesn’t care about your buy-in, and your union can’t make them care.

Fly the FOM and FARs. It’s the only thing you can do.

I always two engine taxi for safety reasons. And for passenger comfort the apu is on every turn.

This. JB couldn’t care less about their product and couldn’t care less about their employees. It is such a stark difference with America’s most successful airline currently.

I mean they did just raise their bag fee to 40 a bag. They don’t care at all.

Bingo. This was a "leadership" decision, and there was no amount of union feet stomping that was going to change it.

The pilot group could have voted the CBA down, but that was NEVER going to happen on the first CBA and even if the pilots had voted it down, I would bet my house that profit sharing wouldn't have been one of the things "leadership" would have been willing to revisit, for pure political/optical reasons.

You guys don't get any PS, nothing at all? What does the email say for this year?

Mgmt has continually changed the PS formula over the years to make sure it stays de minimus. We had decent payouts in 2015-16 and then mgmt changed the formula again to ensure that wouldn't happen any longer.

Historic JB profit sharing payouts:

2005: 0%
2006: 0.69%
2007: 0%
2008: 0%
2009: 0%
2010: 0.02%
2011: 0%
2012: 0.42%
2013: 1.59%
2014: 3.02%
2015: 15.87
2016: 16.35%
2017: 1.9%
2018: 0.2%
2019: 0%
