While we have this current MEC chair, my faith can’t exist. We going into potential merger with this cry baby at the helm makes me queasy. Having been through a merger and being involved with committees during the merger, we are screwed with him as a leader.

Optimism leaves one vulnerable to disappointment. I think people adopt a weary cynicism to protect themselves from a world they fear will let them down or hurt them.

Anything less than 30% is a waste of time. Gun for pay now fix the work rule nonsense in JCBA.

Exactly what Spirit’s NC is doing….

Yeah, but NK already has NK work rules.

You’re ok with your work rules as they are?

NK reserve rules need attention but lineholder QOL is great.

Nothings so good it couldn’t be improved upon, but I like them better than yours. Conversely, your existing payscale is better.

hopefully the JCBA will let us make improvements in both.

For a first contract the JBCBA is decent. Lots to improve at both companies. We have our work cut out for us.

The CBA is only good if the union defends it. We could have set the bar with the NEA grievance - had we demanded an actual resolution.

Instead, the MEC talked tough for a year and when the decision was potentially days away, they balked and recommended the membership vote to give the company the WIN in exchange for compensation. When the pilot group ratified the LOA, JetBlue knew where we stood going forward.
