Had to know that one was coming. We’ll see if JB really wants to compete against AA.

I imagine it will be more cooperation than competition in BOS/NYC. As you well know the NEA was conceived after the XLR order. Remains to be seen how that will impact JB's future transatlantic network...

Where’s this Boston base blast located?

Which base blast had this? Jfk?

B6 CA may top out a few bucks higher, but you'll make 73 CA at AA in 2 to 4 yrs, so your career earnings will most likely be much higher at AA.

Overall, completely agree. And then wide-bodies. And AA offered "Delta like" profit sharing, although I know if was not really fully comparable. JB pilots essentially don't have a FUNCTIONING profit sharing plan anymore.

Your work rules are dog 💩. We make more than you in narrow bodies.most pilots won’t transition. And if you’ve crossed the Atlantic you’ll know it’s not worth it.

nobody is arguing that. We’re rooting for you guys to get some contract improvements and better narrowbody pay since that will likely effect us more directly than your 777 CA pay scales.

I agree on both of your points. I was just looking at it assuming the OP as B6 guy/gal wanting to stay BOS. 73 upgrade is quick, but he/she will end up commuting to LGA if they want to upgrade ASAP.
