In any event the American deal is still a **** deal for us, the network and schedule still suck, and the fleet plan still sucks. He was responsible for all of that.
JetBlue is making a sh!t ton of money off that NEA. I’m not really sure what you’re saying. It may suck for the pilots, but it’s a cash cow for the company.

A couple of scheduling committee guys are now going to play computer while the company says “no thanks” each and every month because the company pairing sets with in-base layovers are always cheaper?

The mec officers bungled this horribly half a year ago with the A220 service entry and giving a big thumbs up to in-base layovers.

Good luck to B6 pilots under Section 6 with their current alpa leader.

Yea.. Plus 1 to this.

Section 25.A.1 and Section 25.A.7 all spell out what ALPA should have been holding to the company too. To think that this MOU is some sort of win is mind blowing.

Good luck to the SSC building pairings (which should have happened since the CBA was signed) that will be cheaper, more productive and add to QOL of the pilot group.

Why not? A M&A would be a dream come true. Bring it.

I’m all for it now a days. I’m tired of the typical Jetblue and especially tired of our mec leadership.

Harvard MBAs are good at one thing and one thing only.

Extracting as much economic goodwill out of a company and its workforce as possible. Harvard business school is where non sociopaths are turned into sociopaths. They pretty much train you too not look at people as people, but as objects to trick into working for as little as possible, while giving the customers as little as possible as well.

Elon Musk has famously come out against them as they don't really create value. They transfer value from the customers and employees into thier own hands and usually kill the brand in the process.

Thanks! A positive attitude is always refreshing on APC.

If Elon Musk is against them, then I’m for them. Funny though, because his company and Board are full of them. Also, what you’re saying isn’t exactly what he said:

Elon also is anti-labor:
