Not really. Basically the same as our non union employees. This was a perfect opportunity to restore PS. We had them on the ropes. We won’t have any profit this year (or likely next), so it costs nothing right now when times are bad. We should have not let this opportunity go to waste and restored the previous PS formula/gotten rid of the cliff. Would have also been a perfect opportunity to bring back UTS.
whaaa??
this was a quick MOU to address an urgent need.
dude, if you get the virus or have to care for family or quarantine as a precaution you are 100% pay protected don’t have to use PTO.
you want UTS? Just ask the company for a LOA unpaid. I’m sure they’re game.
if you want to take concessions I’m sure they’d be happy to give you PS in exchange.

Its not industry leading. We (FedEx) have had these in place for the last 1.5 months. We also have additional pay override provisions and opt out provisions in our LOA. Not throwing shad just want you to know its already been done for a while.

Most of the CBA was a concession. PS: concession (codified). UTS: concession PTOSB: concession. And with all that, rates still below peers. We’ve conceded enough. There are no concessions, even now, with the exception of reduced flying. But when the company needs something from us (reduced flying, re-bids, mutually beneficial Coronavirus protections), that is an opportunity to get something back that we gave away before. Never let a crisis go to waste.

Prior to this LOA, a pilot had a family member who they thought was sick with CV19 (couldn’t get a test but was negative for flu). Family doc ordered a 14 day quarantine for family knowing he was a pilot. Company said you can PTS/UTS. He said I’m not losing pay or PTO, and I’m not symptomatic or sick, so I’ll just brief my crew accordingly when I go to work tomorrow. He was taken off the trip and pay protected.
JetBlue can’t afford to NOT have this policy in light of what most other companies are doing from a PR or liability standpoint.
