Sort of like the positive changes we saw after that wonderful "agreement" was mailed to us a second time?

Default Union

I don't think any airline out there started with a union. We are still in the touchy feely stage at jetBlue but I can see some issues coming down the road that will bring this issue to the forefront faster than most people think. Still a great place to work though!

I agree with both of your statements. But I think there's still a lot of talking to do before we throw in the towel. Whether it's on-line or on-the-line, many of us are starting to scratch our heads and say something.
The next survey should be a litmus test. This forum could actually serve as a chalk board for outlining what we feel are issues that need to be addressed.
I have my pet issues but that doesn't mean they are important to everybody and I know that there are numerous other issues on the minds of jetBlue pilots. If we could nail down five big ones and collectively communicate those issues on our anonymous surveys then even if nothing was done we could say that the seeds of collective action have been sown.

I didn't mean I was ready to throw in the towel and you are right about us all having different issues. My "paper" is not worthless so that is not a big issue for me but I know some are so I can understand your concern. I have and will continue to diversify mine as I become vested. I know that is not an option for most.
Five good core issues sounds like a good number. We don't want to overwhelm them!

1. Blend time-and-a-half into straight pay with a 3% bump.
2. Get an HMO.
3. Staff the airline to a level that provides the open time and reserves to meet the goals set in the White Papers. Pilots should have input on a minimum level of open time and reserve coverage.
4. Establish a pilot elected pay and benefits committee - the scheduling committee should not be commenting on pay. The scheduling committee should have term limits to eliminate the featherbedding and cronyism.
5. Take 401K to 6% matching and pay profit sharing as profit sharing - in cash. My retirement should not be dependent on whether or not this industry is doing "well" or not. Profit sharing will still provide incentive and we will have a 401K that approaches what other pilots in this industry enjoy.
