I knew the day would come when they would start to squeeze the pilots, but I really didn't imagine it would be while we're in the black. It scares me when I think about what might happen if we go back into the red...

ALPA used to induce vomit, but then I realized that it was largely due to the carrier I worked for under ALPA. FedEx, DAL, UAL/CAL, Alaska, Hawaiian are all great places to be, but ALPA didnt make them great, it just ensures they will stay great through the course of a contract.
I dont expect ALPA to fix all the issues with JB. I just want a CBA to have some predictability for basics like annual COLA raises to keep up with inflation, and a legal way to enforce bidding/seniority/work rules. Stable insurance benefits and industry average retirement as well.

At least you have an open mind

Just remember, the only thing worse than having ALPA as your union is not having ALPA as your union. Not a glowing endorsement I know, think of it as buying into a franchise. Over 90% of all airline pilots are unionized, are we the smart ones or the dumb ones?

The bottom line is I wish we didn't have to unionize. I hoped that JB management would just stick to the high road and not do these shady things that they have been doing lately. I also would love to see us start up JBPA and not have to invite the devil in.

Who do you think is to blame for Jetblue Pilots being compensated below average in every category?
I'll give you a clue..............................It aint a union!
