LCR is a great thing, but in order to move days or do anything is next to impossible. As a Lineholder you are almost completely bound to your schedule if you have 4 and 5 day trips. Just another way CK and crew are hard at work for us.

So I had a great deal of faith that RV would remember his scars and he would not give JetBlue any slack when he worked out Contract 2018 and LOA 17. Key word… HAD.
