Concessionary. Requires MEMRAT. Clear enough?

Would likely pass a MEMRAT.

if you can’t handle a 5 hour monthly reduction for 2 extra days off and saving hundreds or thousands of JB pilot jobs that is pretty selfish.

it’s the principle of it. Yeah I can. If Jetblue can’t afford to pay 190/ FO Reserves 5 extra hours they have bigger problems.

Have you had your head in the sand the past several months? Maybe you haven’t noticed the 90% plus drop in passenger demand this year. JetBlue is hemorrhaging money, and your *****in about a 5 hr reduction!?! This action keeps your fellow pilots employed and allows them to care of their families. Pilots will complain about anything, unreal.

We have a lot of selfish pilots here at JB that would have undoubtedly voted to put you and I on the street if it saved them a dollar. How many captains are being paid 15 grand to sit at home and do nothing? They don’t care about anybody else’s family-that’s evident now. So now we’re getting 70 instead of 75 hours to do nothing (with 2 extra days off)...with snap backs in place. Or until we actually do get furloughed next May. Line holders are working for their money. Should it have went to a vote? Yea, it probably should have. But thank God the union looked out for us. It’s pretty apparent how our ‘brothers’ would have voted.

I think the concern is more about the precedent it sets across the industry. Personally, I think the LOA is a good deal overall, but other pilot groups could see us as leading the way with “concessions” while they’re standing strong despite thousands of Warn letters.
