Let's work towards restoring Blue Values at Crew Services rather than homogenise the pay scale, and it's inherent positives. A one pay rate will only tend to reduce personal flying hours and raise CASM. Yes crew services needs an overhaul. A little sugar goes a LONG way. Reserve pilots get NOTHING at JetBlue. Yeah Yeah I know I bid it so don't *****. Anyway why can't reserve folks bid for available trips? Many reserve guys/gals break guarantee every month so why shouldn't seniority allow you to pick up or avoid trips? Right now it's total luck of the draw.

WMW I heard this also as a rumor. However when I bounced it off my ACP buddy he said "your dreamin'" to the pay raise part.

The 10% raise would be just the right amount to correct us to where our pay should be based on inflation (fall of 2001 to present). However, it doesn't makeup for the money over the last 4 years that was not paid to us......
I've heard the rumor of "vest everyone immediately" also. Doesn't help much when you options are worth only a few cents or are under water. But it does allow everyone to immediatey take advantage of any market gain and at least get something out of them.
As for no more options. I wish they would give out restricted shares of stock vs options. At least they have some value. As for totally canning CSPP, Options, etc That is new, but it doesn't surprise me. (enought said for now)
Just my opinion....
