The precedent was set a long time ago when the Legacies outsourced their flying to the regionals. They still have to grow JetBlue pilot block hours if they want to enter these new codeshare agreements and allows us all to keep our jobs until the end of April with no “act of god” provision in terms of furlough pay.

Is this a bad joke? Bro, half your flying is outsourced. Where the hell are you getting ‘we gave up scope’ from? And the 5 hours comes with 2 more days off with snap backs in place. Again, to sit home and do nothing. I haven’t flown since the beginning of May. Our union hit this one out of the park. They literally could not have done a better job.

Your train wreck of an operation isn't our fault. We're going to feed more passengers to your widebodies than you could have done yourselves, thereby preserving some of *your* jobs that would otherwise be lost. And it doesn't cost you a thin dime. You're welcome!

It doesn't cost a dime...just a few hundred pilot jobs.

2500 AA pilots were going to get WARN notices anyway (have you heard of this new coronavirus pandemic? It might be bad for air travel). Perhaps a few more would have gotten notices without this deal which supports your additional widebody lift out of JFK. If you didn't want a deal like this, why does your contract allow it? Your pilot group presumably negotiated for something else in exchange for allowing management to make a deal like this.

they were getting it no matter what. Sorry buddy we gave up nothing for this. We secured extra protection to allow a codeshare

Understandably there are people in the industry who are upset/frustrated. Then they look over and see JB not experiencing the same thing and lash out. Sorry but 5 hours for RSV pilots at JB ain't exactly earth shattering considering the alternative...That wasn't the linchpin that got 2500 AA pilots WARN letters.
