This one made me chuckle. I've never flown more than 350hrs/year on reserve. I've broken guarantee once in 5yrs. My ex-regional routinely flew us over guarantee and would extend you 6days straight before you got to go home to do laundry.
You clearly haven't flown with any Airbus captains!
Over exaggeration. You should have seen the pre-Union relations for a definition of frayed.
Training pay does suck, and I hope that changes in the CBA. Glad you made a point to tell us you enjoy it here at JetBlue.

He posted his opinion and experience. Since it's his opinion, there really is no counter for it. He just feels differently than those other guys. Maybe his experience an opinion will change over time, but for now that's how he feels. Yet some on here take offense to it.
Maybe it wasn't a "flame" per se, but it was in a condescending tone at best.

I disagree with 1 and 2. I'm indifferent about 3. I agree with 4, for the most part. I agree with 5, 6, and 7.
As far as 4 goes, I think the MEC needs to pick it's battles, and be less reactive. They are trying to appease a very specific, vocal (belligerent) minority with some of their emails because they fear getting removed from office.
I'll be the first to walk a picket line and rant and rave when the time comes, but the time ain't here yet fellas. My last airline (ASA) negotiated for 5 years for the 2007 contract. It got nasty at the end, and for good reason. We ain't there yet. We are just getting warmed up.
I'm still waiting for the company to realize it is actually in their best interests to get this thing done pronto. We should be happy if it drags out until Delta, United, SouthWest, Spirit and American all reset their rates higher.

bel·lig·er·ent
bəˈlijərənt/
adjective
1.
hostile and aggressive.
"a bull-necked, belligerent old man"
synonyms: hostile, aggressive
Do we have belligerent members? Of course. Bluepilots.com has a decent amount of belligerence. Does the MEC tone their message to appease this minority because they fear being removed from office? Absolutely not. That's a laughable assertion. They have polled the membership a number of times as well as have pilot to pilot guys out on the line to get the pulse of this pilot group.
