Because they are making money. They wouldn’t have the overhead to make money. If you had to take all the risk and have the really high overhead and hope people buy tickets on your flight or get a guaranteed amount of money with someone else’s overhead what would you do? Heck if it was my decision I’d take my 1 dollar and not risk any then put all my work and sometimes make 10

For the same reason all airlines farm out flying. They collect profits and put downward pressure on labor. Under our scope we could code share with two A320 operators on our routes and whipsaw them.

Still a yes vote Bozo? Please explain.

So then you do not believe that B6 will go to Europe or have any ability or desire to do so?
Great- argue that, because to suggest that Robyn will get ETOPS and have the ability to do it himself and THEN choose to codeshare is ridiculous. Or it makes sense to you and you share BDs misinterpretation of codesharing.

Farming out in a fee for departure and codesharing are different things.
Again guys, codesharing is not a windfall for the company and many of you are conflating the two. Educate yourselves on Codeshare vs. Fee for departure.
Passer- tell me you know the difference...
And prove you do

Not to interupt the yelling and screaming, but has anyone submitted these questions to ALPA?

Would like to hear the answer during a road show.

ALPA is answering the submitted questions.

Cool, thanks I’ll check it out.

From the FAQ on B6 Alpa:



Can JetBlue use an operator such as JetSuite to provide feed under a Capacity Purchase Agreement?
No, agreed upon language prevents the Company from doing this. The Company is prohibited from entering into any Capacity Purchase Agreements or purchase Block Space on other carriers, and they cannot not purchase equity in, or lend to, another company that is an air carrier or an affiliate of an air carrier as a means to circumvent the provisions of our Scope agreement. Other provisions in scope prohibit JetBlue for using an entity like JetSuites as an alter ego or for doublebreasting.

Can JetBlue operate a JetBlue Express / regional carrier?
JetBlue cannot enter into a Capacity Purchase Agreement with any other carrier. However, if JetBlue were to establish a new brand, i.e. JetBlue Express with regional jets, it would be flown by JetBlue Pilots under the same CBA and seniority list.


Seems fairly clear cut to me, no?

It is but guys are conflating codesharing and fee for departure.
2 totally different things.
Codesharing is necessary.
