My question is why didn't they lock us in a year and a half ago when we'd have all probably settled for something more akin to JetBlue +some change. Sometimes I think they did us a huge favor for dragging this out to a point where industry average is so much better. I just wonder what the thought process is on all this from a management standpoint. High Five Bendo! We'll all be glad you dragged this out when we finally get this done.

They could've gotten it done for less, yes. However there was no way even then I would've agreed to Jetblue plus. They were/are negotiating raises and united was already the leader with a delta me too clause. When I heard Jetblue plus from a few back then it made say *** are you nuts!

Well rumor has it that the base CP has bailed them out on more than one occasion lately. Flights that otherwise been cancelled were covered at the last minute by management.

That's exactly what they use the CPs for. Ever notice they're always out flying on transition and holidays?
