I wonder how many guys on here have flown both aircraft. Or is the 190 just being thrown "under the bus" from what guys have written on blue pilots and on here.
I've flown both aircraft and I can tell you there's no difference between the amount of Airbus and 190 captains I've flown with that help clean and don't wear a lanyard. Both fleets have them.
In fact if you really want to get down to how we got to where we are today you can blame most of the senior guys on the Airbus who voted down the previous two union drives.
The 190 group isn't the problem, the 320 group isn't the problem. The individual pilots that still don't wear their lanyard nor keep up with the union communications are the problem.
BOS is also not the problem. Your MEC chair until this last bid is a BOS 190 CA and the entire LEC in Boston were 190 guys until the last bid as well.
These arguments are dumb and it seems the guys on here making it either don't even work here
or haven't been here very long.

I didn't keep a log of how many times 320 vs 190 crews did standup PAs and start rummaging through seatbacks, but it always struck me as more of a 190 thing.

These guys are actually still complaining as they reach in their bags for gloves.
Oh and lol on the company's pay proposal- Good for the NC for shovin it right back up their a$$.

Yup that is why I always laugh at this stuff. Oh the 190 super juicer oh oh let's sell it oh the raise should just go to the bus and so on. Look it is funny at times but right now we need unity more than anything. We should put that mainline/express stuff away for now and remember we are all JetBlue pilots. ( no bozo this isn't for you)
