It will almost surely require some brand embarrassment (picketing, media, billboards, etc...) or a transactional event to get them to agree to a CBA prior to their original plan (hell freezing over).

I'm not 100% certain about the details of how this would all go down, but as far as I know that's essentially how it worked for the Alaska and Virgin merger.
That merger happened in April of 2016 and they're about to get the arbitration ruling next month, so it's reasonable to expect an 18 month timeline.
A merger would mean an imminent deal would not be likely, but we would certainly not start over at square one again.

No one means that we would literally start over. But I think 18 ADDITIONAL months is a huge deal considering we have almost everything done right now.

We need to picket and to prepare for a strike vote- not that we'll ever be released; we wont.

People should go if they aren’t happy. Life is too short.

Bozo ans Southernern are describing the sentiment of the majority of jetblue pilots.
WE LIKE IT HERE! We don't want to leave. We want management to make decisions, inspire growth and create new opportunities (future planning goals) according to the company's legacy.
But..................
We work hard to make it a great place. That work is the brand that people come back to and tell their friends. We DESERVE to be compensated at a per set industry hourly wages, vacation and retirement. AND The compensation should have a direct relative relationship with how much revenue and profit the company is generating.
Simple.
