I'm not sure what line you think you're holding since your pay has been handed to you to keep Alpa off the property and you gladly accepted. Good for you, unfortunate for the rest of us. You undercut the industry for a decade and did nothing to further the cause. Well, except your fancy blue chips. Most of your cheerleadrs were still in flight school while the rest of us were ensuring you people didn't change flight and duty rules with OUR union dues. JFK-LAX-JFK ring a bell?
Achieve "industry leading" on your new contract and you'll have our respect (which I doubt you care about anymore than you did since 99). Short of that, you and your 700 man March mean chit.
By the way, thanks for joining Alpa because you were afraid of a merger and being stapled.
And YES, we sold too much for too little!
Oh and "good luck".

I always laugh when a Jblu guy councils. You realize you've never fought or paid a price for anything, right?

They did all that and cleaned the aircraft.

That’s all dandy except many of Jetblue’s pilots were long ALPA dues paying members for years or decades before they went to Jetblue to improve from the regional hell that ALPA helped to create. And now they are members again at Jetblue. Let’s keep perspective.
If Jetblue had called me first and I was based at home it’s likely that I would be there and not here at Spirit. No kid goes to Flight school with aspirations of being a Spirit or Jetblue pilot. We’re all on the same team brothers

That being said, our group should invest wisely any additional income that may come with C2018 so we can each be in a position to turn down a substandard offer next time around, should it be presented.
It's been fun, Peace
