And I hope I'm wrong.

This contract was smartly built with good times and bad times in mind. How about you just fly airplanes and not give away the farm....for nothing...

I wonder why we skipped over that part of whatever section 23 is, and maybe whatever rsv periods means and maybe whatever that part time award thing means.

So yeah they are stepping over dollars to pick up pennies. They are not doing EVERYTHING they can to save money. It also says something about it not being limited to whatever section 23 is.

So maybe stop the individual greed. 0 hours/50 hours/75 hours. Open time is blocked or not blocked but everyone is capped at 75 hours. No VDA no Prem. 35 hours part time lines.

So either our cash flow problem hasn’t been that dire or maybe we all should expect to be on the street.

Thats why I’m afraid that a Jetblue pilot furloughed will be spending a long time on the sidelines.

The list in section 23 isn’t in order. It’s basically suggestions and actually leaves more options available than just what’s written.

We aren’t even close to furloughs yet. Reduced alv and credit caps next if they are even needed.

The company is still thinking this all ends by late summer and demand returns to a reasonable level.

I really wanted the E190 CA VIL for April but they only awarded 5. My gut vibe said this thing peaks and stalls by the end of April and we’re scaling back up after that. Big issue is going to be commuting in May it seems. I don’t want to have to show 2 days early. Guess I’ll bid the May VIL but I’m bottom 25% so unlikely to get it.

If anyone is picking up extra flying while pilots are on the street, they have a very punchable face.
