Understood however I have a feeling dirty looks are headed my way & yes I voted yes. I was very, very frustrated yesterday.

Didn't the majority of JB pilots voice no opinion by not voting? What was the vote breakdown of those who cast ballots?

Same thing happened to our FAs. Majority of votes cast was for a union but not enough people voted to certify the election.

As far as JS go, I ride on JB almost exclusively. I hope nothing comes of this. My attitude is it's youse guy's business. (fake terrible NY accent for effect)

Wow, didn't know it worked like that. What a strange way to run an election. On the other hand, in in the presidential election,....

What happens when current management leaves or retires and the new management changes the direction?

About 1,937 of the airline’s 2,000 pilots were eligible to vote. Of the eligible pilots, 646 voted for union representation, most of those for the association, according to figures from JetBlue. The remaining 1,291 pilots did not vote, which was the equivalent of a no vote.

33% says events will have to change dramatically before there will be a union at JB.

Doesn't the NMB require at least 2 years before another union vote may be taken?

Blew milk right through my nose after reading that. Are you guys really that clueless?

Just bring a copy of your yes vote and you won't hear one peep from me. Would never deny anyone the J/S but c'mon guys, it ain't rocket science. No Union = No negotiations.
