JetBlue pilots on average earned slightly more than some of its rival airlines, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Airline Data Project. The university's data showed a JetBlue pilot earned a total of $187,000 in salary plus benefits in 2012. A pilot at low-cost rival Southwest Airlines, which is also unionized, earns $185,000.


Found this on CNN

Acadamia. For one thing, still referring to SWA as "low cost". That's called "spin". But the funniest part of your post was the reference to CNN. Was that the same CNN that had a crawler that said 777s had trouble maintaining altitude when the fuel tanks were empty? THAT CNN? Good source.

lulz.....

Congrats guys. Can anyone opinionate on how the company will respond ? Cut back in other areas to pay for the "additional costs" possibly associated to the successful vote? JBLU stock was down almost 2% today. Can we expect any "spin" on this by the company ? etc etc stuff

Thanks

Enjoy the 2% pay cut.
Funny how a less than 2% paycut = more money, better vacation, better work rules... Healthcare?

You must use jetblue math does 3+5=13 in your world too?


Anyhow, good job! Lets get to work gentlemen.
