Strange decision by Jetblue leadership to put this policy into effect. Flight crew delays are very rare. I've experienced only one since I've been here. So they enact a policy that ticks off the entire pilot group to possibly eliminate a statistically insignificant amount of delays. Doesn't make sense. Reminiscent of the release of the dependability policy years ago. They can thank that policy for a lot of yes votes in the Union drive.
Things seemed to be going halfway decent with negotiations. Why poke the bear? The signer of the email is former American Airlines managament. A company that had a toxic relationship with labor. I really hope that doesn't happen here.

I would definately this is a shot across the bow an the company is going to test the pilots and the union and see how far they can push. I too am wonder how this is not a change to the status quo....

Keep in mind that this is also the company's third try on the JETCRW upgrade..
