Unbelievable. You're pretty much saying that you're trying to make your company unprofitable by getting a union. Fantastic.
Most people are happy when their company posts a profit, as it means everyone is doing well. Look at American. No one is happy when the company is bankrupt, and at risk of losing their jobs.
Keep up the good work boys, you may just get an unprofitable company if you keep trying hard enough.

By your logic- hourly rates, work rules, and benefits are irrelevant because the health of the business and the millions made by management are more important than "Bill 190 FO" whose 4 year old daughter has leukemia and Bill's crappy jetBlue insurance has a max benefit per person of 15k.

And here is Dave avoiding the NDA question about American. Don't worry anti-union guys. Dave will take care of us.

David, I'm curious if JetBlue has received it's NDA from American and if so, if you could comment on any terms or conditions that the NDA might place on you?
David Barger
Jamie, we're really not going to operate any color in terms of that topic that American has talked about, right? So as we take a look at -- again, we've been very forthright about our standalone plan, organic growth, our own people, our own airplanes, right? So I mean that's been the case since we started. Continues to be the case today, right? So we'll see what happens as the months play out.

Since there are profitable unionized companies (including airlines) your logic is flawed.

I am very pleased with the latest posted profits. I take pride in my work and my company and want us to continue to be profitable. I also expect to share in that profitability. There are many profitable companies that remain profitable while sharing the wealth with their employees.

I've got no problem with sharing in the profits. That guys post just ticked me off. It reeked of the "my company posted a profit, so I want mine" . If we takes enough from the company that it breaks even every quarter, it will go out of business. We should want our companies to be profitable so we get to keep our jobs.

Because the company has to know it's labor costs to be viable long-term, and if every time the company has a positive quarter people start foaming at the mouth, the company will not be successful.
I was hoping to some day work at JetBlue, precisely because it is non-union. If I ever get there, I will be a solid no vote, and it is precisely because of people like that guy.
