My whole point is solidarity. It's so black and white. When negotiating a CBA you don't accept a handout from management.
BlueDork should look up all the people who didn't vote, and give them a refresher course on how to login to b6alpa.org.

You don't like that bub? Then you do it and you can get McDonald's for dinner.
You prove my point. "Man, you should step up man"
If I'm insulting the NC and ALPA with my dues, perhaps I'll join the "others" who choose not to pay dues.
As soon as ALPA was voted on property I displayed my lanyard and signed up for dues. Everyone said, and I knew, this would be an arduous process. However, they also said we need a CBA and to stop letting the company just make things up and include them into the FOM. Well, the company just made up an 8% raise. I used my vote to reject the carrot. The NC said it was good for us. I'm not sure about that. so, I exercised my paid for voting right to say "NO".
I do like McDonald's and would have no problem ordering a round of #2 Value Meals for myself and the NC. Not Super Sized though, of course.

So you would have rather taken a pay cut instead of a small pay increase for what....out of principle?
What benefit would that bring you individually or to the pilot group in general?

I don't keep up with anything JetBlue related to be honest. I've had 2 jumpseaters from Frontier tell me now that they heard JetBlue is looking at them and is going to buy and merge them together. Does anyone see any likelihood of this?
