Unless I’m missing something here, I don’t see how that justifies pay protection. Not sure that’s a grievance ALPA will take your side on.

I mean we haven’t worn them for last 2 months, flown to every hotspot in the USA, and now suddenly we’re gonna wear them and it’s gonna save us all???
I see a lot of people wear the masks wrong, or they don’t fit correctly, remove it so they can talk on a germ infested phone etc...it just seems impossible to completely isolate yourself from it. All for something that is only making the vast majority or people that get it sick like a flu!

JetBlue will require the use of face coverings for all frontline Crewmembers
Masks will be available in the Chief Pilots Office during office hours. Masks/Wipes will be in the vFile room for after hours.
We currently have a limited supply. Please only take just one per day to ensure availability for all who may need them.
