Alaska gets 5-10% on top of their regular pay every year as a performance bonus/profit sharing deal. So, if jetblue got not much higher than Alaska with no profit sharing, Alaska comes out 5-10% ahead in comp. Not to mention they have a 5:15 ADG now. And a snap up. And the B6 pilot group is 50% larger than the Alaska pilot group, for those who argue that size matters. So, a couple bucks over Alaska with no PS would be a terrible deal.

We will also get merit/ performance based PS: Company is asking for 72.5% On-time performance. Union is asking for 55.3% (almost achievable)

You do realize that our pay rates are currently higher than Delta’s, right? There’s no reason we should settle for less this time around either.

I’m okay with that. What I’m not okay with is bringing us a substandard AIP and saying it’s the best they could do.

I am genuinely surprised at how many people seem to think that this bargaining environment is anything like a year ago, or two years ago, or 10 years ago, or any time since the 1930s.
This is a different world. Jetblue has a bunch of airplanes coming and is fixing to have a negative head count to fly them. If they could they’d be hiring private pilots and jamming them through like they did prior to WWII, but they can’t.
