I think it's crazy that bias can play a role in the decision. They're international destinations, stop playing games.

You're right, it really does go to show you how little power the student council, sorry PVC, has over things.

If it makes you feel any better, we (SWA) just agreed to do future intl flying with no over-ride. I don't agree with it, and voted no, but apparently I'm in the minority. :o

Sad, but the part do fit.

Just my opinion......

Gotta tell you it would be sad to see the AA Borg absorb you for a couple reasons.

Your service would automatically go to the lowest common denominator. And another unique airline culture would be lost. Not everyone may agree, but you have to admit that B6 and VX tried to bring a new paradigm to US air transportation.

I love the culture comment. That's Jetblues way of justifying charging between $12,000 and $14,000 per year on health insurance.

You must really be sick.

Perhaps you would like the new medical plan 18,500 Hostess employees received yesterday

Love it... Now airline pilots are akin to twinky makers and stock boys... Yep, we all da same man. Dang.

More over jetBlue is hardly Bankrupt! In fact we have posted record profits. Yet some how, the company bean counters find a reason to NOT pay us the agreed to wage set. They also found it profitable to raise the ins. premiums by 300%.

Comparing a work group at a bankrupt company that makes hoho's and ding dongs to highly skilled, educated professionals at a very profitable company is beyond scope.

I should cruise this part of APC more often. We never get a good reason to say "ding dongs" over on the Cargo threads! Dang!

I eat ding dongs when I play ping pong. So long.

True, but built on the backs of the employees by lack of fair compensation, representation, spin and lies. The problem is that way too many pilots at both ignore the facts and belived the lies and spin or are so self centered that they only care for themselves.

Just my opinion .......
