Your 150 seat rate should be your 100 seat rate, cause I hate to tell ya but, both of them are no good!!!

Alabama, huh? Your headed for management. Why don't you come over and fix our rates. We could use the widsom from a great SWA F/O!

Might want to talk to UAL. Their top 320 captain rate is $11/hr less than JB's. Plus, JB gives time and a half over 70 hours.

If I was management I would cut your rates and give me a 5 million dollar raise. I want everyone's rate to go up, I don't like to see pilots say they should not make more money, it is bad for our industry. With the cost of inflation we have not had a raise since 1978.

We, at JetBlue, may have contentions about our pay--but we'll still circle the wagons for our company when an outsider (like you) comes in and rudely starts "throwing stones". Its an important issue, but its not the only one that our company must address in this current economic climate.

I would have thought that an SWA pilot would be the most professional of contributors on this site. Its your company that ours respects and emulates on many practices. Its your pilot labor group that is a model for the seeds of a union at JetBlue. I guess SWA and some of its pilots don't actually share a common quality of charisma. Disappointing.

Geez,

Blue Koolaid for everyone. Seems there actually are a few chinks in the armor over there after all.

Lighten up Blue-Boys. He's just suggesting that you stop sipping the blue stuff and start questioning your management a bit more.

If your so happy over there why do you need a union, just so you can ride on velocipede's jumpseat
