I hear ya 16. Im not senior enough to lose much and prob not junior enough to get furloughed in the event of a purchase. I do live much closer to 2 UAL bases and their contract will always dominate anything we get.
I do not get the feeling that B6 feels we deserve, or that it can afford, an industry-standard contract. I know we have butted heads before about this 16, but Ive been through contract negotiations, and its deja vu.
I mean it when I say "I hope im wrong" and that you and the" believers" are right, because then we all win. In the meantime, Im hoping for a sale of jetblue to UAL. Not perfect, but it would mean a nice contract, albeit after a few tumultuous transition years. Who knows.
