A easonable amount to get from your crashpad in Kew to ewr is a lot more than what blue jet would give us with our new and improved reimagined, greatest new reserve system ever.
What makes their 10,000% better, if I might ask?

our rsv system is horrendous. Between dropping days, lcr/scr, lack of coverage. I prefer the old rsv system honestly. I got released early almost every stretch of
rsv days I had. I wish we had their rsv system and everyone was lcr and could only get transitioned to scr 7 times a month. Instead of a hard 2 hour call out we had a reasonable time to get to the airport. Not sure why we tried to reinvent the wheel with our contract but they swung for the fences and hit a dribbler back to the pitcher.

I have 2 PRL on my schedule this month. They exist. Easy to get if you know how to bid.

David Neelmen has a hole in his heart for jetBlue going back years. Mark my words, the whole Breeze thing is a backdoor way to get his airline back. I absolutely see a merger down the road which gives David a prominent position back at B6. Breeze building out a network on the cheap with A220s is the carrot he will get his baby back with. This will 100 percent happen.

Thanks.
EWR will become a pilot crew base, most likely co-base of JFK. If MIA grows anymore then that is close enough to throw co-base status on it too. Ditto for the satellite airports of LAX, especially BUR and SNA once more A220s are around.

More like "Great news. The arbitrator found in our favor! When asked what we would like as compensation we suggested a 2% pay raise, a flica waiting room and no furlough for 1 year. (Unless they need to furlough in which case they totally can.)

The arbitrator agreed!"

CBA specifically prohibits this, so mgmt would have to come up with some carrots... or just disregard the CBA again, depending on how the NEA arbitration plays out.

​​​​​​I like our new reserve – with some seniority you have more choices. Most important though (imo) is manning in your particular seat..if it’s low, regardless of old or new system, you get worked. Not sure the union can do anything about that. It’s been really nice this past year to bid guaranteed LCR. The biggest loss with the new way, imo, was the deletion of EPS (in the middle of r days)

Maybe I’m mistaken but – doesn’t UAL have airport standby?
