Does anyone believe that past practice of the pilot group is NOT built into the schedule of Jetblue?
Since it is, then a withdrawal normal practice is not harmful to the company?
Is that the position of the apologists?

ALPA said don’t go down the same road Spirit did, so I don’t think I’m alone with how I feel.

ALPA said don’t get caught trying to intentionally slow down the operation, so I don’t think I’m alone here.

Waiting for a labor dispute to 'not help' is simply the dumb logic that pilots use to slit their own wrist on a daily basis.

"VDAs don't cause low staffing."
It's just soo cool how you know everything in such a short amount of time, yet you don't even know what you yourself say.
